Discover the highest resort in the Grand Massif!

If you set foot in the pedestrianised centre of Flaine on your first day, the call of the snow must be overwhelming. Flaine is the highest ski area in the Grand Massif (1600 metres to 2500 metres). With sixty-four runs of varying levels and twenty-four ski lifts, it caters for all levels of skier and snowboarder.

Have fun on Flaine's wide white boulevards, which follow the natural contours of the mountain. Conceived by French skiing legend and Mégevand by birth, Emile Allais, the ski area is one of the snowiest peaks in the French Alps. It is directly linked to the resort of Flaine.

We recommend that you visit the slopes that are considered to be the must-sees in Flaine:

• The green Mélèze piste, a must in the heart of the beginners' sector.
• The Serpentine blue run, also known as "la grande bleue des Platières". An unmissable seven-kilometre run offering one of the most remarkable panoramas of the resort of Flaine and the surrounding mountains, including the Mont Blanc massif.
• The red Faust run, the most popular with fans of the genre in Flaine.
• Finally, for freeride fans, La Combe de Gers is the place to be.

After this first day devoted to the resort's main activity, it's time for one of the other pleasures of mountain holidays: the local gastronomy. Wherever you're staying, most of the action in Flaine takes place in Flaine Forum, the centre of the resort. Here you'll find plenty of bars and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy the festive atmosphere so typical of ski resorts.
