Designed as a single ski-in/ski-out unit around a snow-bowl, Flaine puts nearly every apartment within ski distance of the lifts and the central Forum.
The architecture, by Marcel Breuer, is genuinely museum-grade and even hides a Picasso and a Dubuffet outdoors. The skiing is just as practical: a sheltered, north-facing bowl that holds snow well, gentle nursery areas right by the apartments, and a fast link across to Samoëns and Les Carroz in the 265 km Grand Massif. Pure ski-in/ski-out, ideal for families.
