Situated in the centre of a massive bowl, the pistes and lifts radiate out from the ski holiday resort of Flaine like a giant snowy octopus. Literally a resort in the thick of things, designed with convenience for all in mind. Free lifts access nearby nursery slopes, a gondola speeds directly across a rock face to the highest peak and an extensive bus system picks up the ski holiday stragglers from nearby villages who missed the last lift home. This is a great resort for beginners, intermediates and especially family ski holidays.

The village itself is split into three areas. The original, ‘Flaine Forum’ is made up of blocks lacking in character but not practicality, its centre offers a few shops, bars and restaurants. The ‘Hameau’ area is prettier with chalet style buildings and is located 1km from the resort centre. The ‘Foret’ area benefits from a 24 hour lift linking it to the main resort - so après-ski activities can, and do continue well into the night!
