About Flaine

Part of the Grande Massif ski region in picturesque Haute-Savoie, Flaine has some of the best snow records in the Alps. Brilliant for keen skiers of all ages, it’s an unusually modern resort, purpose-built in the 1960s. Accommodation options include exclusive chalets as well as hip hotels, perfect for couples, friends and families. Check out our selection of the best places to stay in Flaine as you start planning your trip!

Designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, Flaine is a fascinating destination for architecture aficionados. Efforts were made to preserve the natural surroundings as much as possible, balancing functionality with integration into the mountainside. Think grey concrete mirroring the rocks, buildings following the curves of the hills, and impressive sculptures by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Victor Vasarely.

Close to Samoëns, Les Carroz and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, Flaine is part of a network of 267km of pistes, suited to a wide variety of abilities. It also boasts one of the fastest gondolas in Europe. Zoom down runs designed by Emile Allais, quad bike along icy trails, or journey to Chamonix and Megève for the day. Summer visitors can hike, walk, mountain bike or play golf. Join the buzzy après-ski scene at The White Pub in the evenings, or unwind at one of the best places to stay in Flaine in the evenings.
