Flaine is often overlooked by British skiers, yet it offers some of the best skiing in France. Many visitors return year after year to Flaine in order to enjoy the fantastic Grand Massif ski area in the Haute Savoie, with its 265kms of dazzling ski runs. Lying in a vast open snow bowl, the resort is renowned for excellent snow conditions and plenty of sunny days. Flaine is compact and purpose-built, with the village divided between two levels. Flaine Forum is the traffic free heart of the resort and is linked to Flaine Foret by two free funiculars, operating all day and night.
