Flaine Ski Resort Guide

The ski resort of Flaine is like a huge work of art, designed by architect Marcel Breuer, a master of the Bauhaus style.

The artistic theme goes beyond the architecture, with several large public art works at the base of the slopes, including a Picasso. But your eyes may be drawn away from this and up to the vast snowy bowl beyond, surrounding Flaine. Take one of the many lifts to the top and you'll have a great view of Mont Blanc in one direction, or perhaps down to one of the four traditional villages which share the huge Grand Massif area with Flaine. These include Morillon, Les Carroz, Samoëns and Sixt in the valleys below.

Flaine lies in the northern part of the French Alps in the Haute-Savoie region of southeastern France, between Geneva and Chamonix. It is surrounded by several major ski regions: in the north by Les Portes du Soleil, in the east by the Aravis, and in the south by the Mt Blanc region.
