Ski Flaine
Altitude 1600 - 2500 metres
Flaine's ski area is located in a massif snowy bowl above the ski areas of the resort Samoens, Les Carroz, Morillon, Sixt Fer à Cheval with stunning views out over the mountain panorama of the Haute Savoie. The views at 2500m are just spectacular.
It is linked into the Grand Massif ski area, which is Frances 4th Largest ski area and can boast 265km (165 miles) of pistes served by over 75 lifts. The bowl of Flaine offers the greatest range of skiing with excellent access to all the resorts.
The Aup de Véron gondola (departing from the Front de Neige area below Flaine Forum) leads to long cruising red runs and provides access to the Lindars Nord chairlift which is the peak point of the lift system at 2500 metres.
The small area on the right of the Flaine ski map consists of the race course run (the Stade red run) and, above it, the snowboarder park with is just off the Aujon lift.
From here you can take a black or red run to over to the Lapiaz drag or down to the DMC Grand Platières cable car at Flaine Forum, which provides breathe taking views of Mont Blanc.
Beginners and expert skiers have a choice of shorter runs from the top. Skiers wishing to take in the stunning scenary can enjoy the views down into the resort from the easy Amethyste green run, while those who are searching for a challenge to get the legs burning can take on the fierce bumps of the Diamont Noir piste.
The area to the left of the cable car is a massif interconnecting choice of red and blue runs either back down the resort (Serpentine and Cristal are favourites for easy cruising runs) or joining into the link to Sixt.
Skiers heading back to Flaine can also connect onto the Grand Vans chair, which not only provides access to Samoëns, Morillon and Les Carroz, but also to the red and black runs on the Tête de Véret drag.
