The pleasure of a ski resort where the pedestrian is king!
Flaine is an integral ski resort in the Grand Massif ski area and is suitable for all types of skier. With family or friends, whether you are a beginner or an expert, the resort will give you a great skiing experience… The best thing about the Grand Massif ski area is going around it using only the blue slopes. What could be better for skiing with your family? Enjoy a peak that is 2,500m above sea level and a great view over the Mont Blanc massif !
Thanks to its altitude and its location, this is an exceptionally snowy ski resort where you'll be able to have fun skiing until the end of the season!
It is ideally located and only 1 hour from Geneva airport, 2 hours from Lyon by car and 4 hours from Paris by high-speed train…
Flaine's architecture and decoration make it memorable for its many visitors… And don't forget that it has been awarded the "Twentieth century Heritage" label! Its ecumenical chapel is classified as a Historic Monument and the "Le Flaine" and "Betelgeuse" buildings are listed on the Supplementary Inventory of French Historic Monuments.
The Grand Massif ski area was the 1st ski area in the world to receive Green Globe certification, which is great recognition for the efforts made by the tourism companies in their sustainable development efforts… At the same time, the resort has set up an environmental observatory covering 1,400 hectares spread over 5 communes to identify biodiversity comprehensively in all its forms…
André Simond was part of the technical team assembled with Emile Allais to create the ski resort. Setting up the ski school and the safety service, among other things, have been some of his tasks.
