Flaine is set in a huge tree-lined bowl, close to Geneva, and boasts one of the best snow records in the Alps. The town is car free, well planned and was built with skiing convenience in mind.
The resort is located at the heart of the Grand Massif ski area and connects a large ski area, cutting down lift queues. You can stay in the immediate bowl or cross the rim and drop down to one of four neighbouring villages, Les Carroz, Morillon, Sixt and Samoëns.
