Flaine is a ski area in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, and is a part of the linked Grand Massif domain. It is in the territory of the communes of Magland and Arâches-la-Frasse. Flaine is linked to Samoëns, Morillon, Les Carroz and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, with 267 kilometres (166 mi) pistes in total. It featured the first 8-seater high speed chairlift, Les Grands Vans, and the first snow cannons to be installed in Europe. Flaine is often called the "big snowy bowl" due to it having one of the best snow records in the Alps. Flaine has been dubbed “the world's ugliest ski resort” due to the brutalist architecture of its buildings.

Flaine boasts over 140 kilometers of ski slopes, suitable for skiers of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’ll find runs that challenge and excite you. The resort also offers a range of activities beyond skiing, including snowshoeing, ice skating, and paragliding.

One of the most striking features of Flaine is its architecture. Designed in the 1960s by renowned architect Marcel Breuer, the resort’s buildings are a stunning example of modernist design. The use of concrete, steel, and glass creates a unique aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the surrounding mountains.
