Hotels in Flaine

Set in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, Flaine has been a popular ski resort for decades.

Originally discovered and established in the late 1950's, Flaine is a special destination, with a great snow record, breathtaking scenery and a buzzing centre. It's also renowned for its beautiful architecture and art installations, so make sure to keep an eye out while you stroll through the town. The Le Flaine Hotel's dramatic overhanging sun terrace looming over the cliffs is just one spectacular example.

Things to do and see

The top activity for anyone visiting Flaine is skiing. The pistes that run around the town are famously good, but there are lots of other things to do while you're there.

We'd really recommend hiking around the local area if the weather's good. Walks like Les Grandes Patières take you up into the mountains, leading through to gorges and flower meadows.

If you'd prefer to soak up the buzzing atmosphere in the town itself, check when the Flaine International Music Academy is on. It runs every summer hosting free concerts and advanced music lessons.

The nightlife is great too. Le White Pub is a favourite, or even pop across to the local bowling alley for a bit of fun.

Eating out and hotels

Flaine hotels vary from the dramatic to the cosy, so there really is something for everyone. Popular places include Les Villages Clubs du Soleil, Club Hotel le Totem and the Chalets Hameau de Flaine, but it really is worth exploring the best hotels to suit your taste and budget.

Dining out is a great experience in the town too. There are so many vibrant places to choose from. Favourites include L'Ancolie, serving fine French food, the fun Black Side Café and the fondue eatery, Pizzeria chez pierrot.

With so much to do and see in Flaine, get the most from your trip and explore everywhere you can.
