More about the skiing in Flaine
So what's it like?

Great variety in a huge ski area

Flaine is at the heart of the fantastic ‘Grand Massif’, with over 265kms of dazzling ski runs. This large, varied ski area has plenty to offer all levels of skier and is renowned for excellent snow conditions and sunny days. Les Carroz is a traditional French village well linked to the ‘Grand Massif’.

Ski information

Beginners

Novice skiers will love the wide, gentle nursery slopes close to the village centre and there are some free beginners lifts so you won't need to buy a lift pass for your first day. The two ski schools offer expert, friendly tuition so you will soon be tackling some of the easy runs from the top of the mountain, back to the village in no time.

Intermediates

The range of skiing for intermediates is first class, with an extensive lift system and huge choice of challenging pistes. The red slopes in the Flaine bowl are perfect for improving your skills, whilst the runs leading to the neighbouring resorts follow narrow tree-lined trails. From long motorway cruising to mogul fields, there is plenty to keep you occupied!

Advanced

Expert skiers will relish the awaiting opportunities, with endless off-piste trails in addition to 265kms of pisted runs. Taxing black runs include the Diamond Noir, Styx and the wooded run down to Samoens or try the off-piste in the Gers Bowl.
