From the first time we chat to you, we will listen closely to your needs in order to satisfy you with tailor-made Flaine ski accommodation that ticks every box.

Situated in France’s scenic Haute Savoie region, Flaine is a family-friendly, car-free resort offering doorstep skiing from many of its accommodation options and over the years the resort has become synonymous with quality lodgings at affordable rates.

The high altitude, snow-sure pistes in Flaine offer something special for all skiing and snowboarding abilities and there’s plenty of off-piste for powderhounds ̶ plus, almost every turn you make reveals another awesome angle of majestic Mont Blanc. The resort is also your gateway to the Grand Massif Ski Area, which has 139 ski runs connected by 62 ski lifts and an amazing 265km skiable area with terrifically varied terrain.

Flaine is also a great choice if you fancy a self-drive and self-catering ski holiday because much of the accommodation here is designed in that style ̶ if you want to travel, ski and socialise in your own family bubble, the layout here meets your requirements marvellously. The resort is spread over various levels, all of which are conveniently connected by well-tended footpaths and Flaine’s iconic red, funicular lift.

The resort also has a unique architectural history and heritage, which makes many of its buildings distinctive and fascinating to visitors with a keen eye for purpose-built design. The site at Flaine was earmarked for development in 1959 by architect Gérard Chervaz and geophysicist Eric Boissonnas, who challenged themselves to design and build a ski resort fit for the future, which would prioritise people-centred urban planning, contemporary design for modern living and practical convenience, and eco-centricity, over profitability and commercial concerns.

Éric and his wife Sylvie were savvy art patrons with their fingers on the pulse of the latest innovations in the field, and thus connected with Bauhaus design guru Marcel Breuer (the genius behind renowned designs like the UNESCO HQ in Paris). Breuer’s vision for Flaine was architecture and design that combined technical excellence and fitness for purpose with an aesthetic application of shadow and light which makes the modernist building sparkle like jewels struck by sunlight at different parts of the day.

So there you have it ̶ one of the huge benefits of a ski holiday in Flaine is that accommodation options with ski-in-ski-out convenience, an uber-efficient lift system, excellent shops, facilities and apres-ski venues were part of the brilliant blueprint for this resort from its very inception.

If you fancy booking accommodation in fascinating and fun Flaine, Erna Low is your first-choice for finding a residence that fits the bill beautifully.

Ski chalets in Flaine

More famous for the modernist architecture that characterises the original resort buildings, Flaine couldn’t be described as a chocolate box resort that’s dominated by traditional chalets.

However, no matter how prescriptive the architectural plan for a purpose-built resort, chalet-style buildings are ubiquitous across European ski destinations, so if this is your favourite type of ski accommodation, you’ll still find a few satisfying Flaine chalet options.

The chalet-style ski accommodation you’ll find in Flaine features the distinctive a-frame roof silhouettes, carved balconies and tactile wood and stone building materials, but these are applied on a grand scale across complexes which have several accommodation suites inside, some of which have traditional chalet interior layouts and décor and some of which are more contemporary. Here’s a taste of the type of chalet accommodation on offer:

  • Les Terrasses d’Hélios is a chalet-style accommodation option in Flaine which offers ski-in/ski-out access to the crisp corduroy and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. This five-star luxe residence at the foot of the ski slopes has various comfy apartment configurations that sleep between two and eight guests and they’re designed in an airy, ambient style, with wood panelling and warm tones, combining high-tech convenience with traditional charm. All apartments benefit from stunning vistas and some have fireplaces where you can gather in the evening and relax with a hot cuppa or glass of something sparkling. The onsite Deep Nature spa has a heated pool where you can stretch your muscles with a few morning lengths (or simply splash around at your leisure), sauna, hot tubs and treatment area offering various beauty and wellbeing sessions for an additional fee. Furthermore, there’s also Wi-Fi available throughout, a convenient store where you can shop for daily essentials, a dedicated kids area, adjacent restaurant serving freshly-prepared food, 24-hour reception, and guests with disabilities are always warmly welcomed and supported. Pets are allowed by prior arrangement, mid-stay housekeeping, nurseries and launderette services can be arranged, and there’s a shuttle service to whisk you to the resort centre.

As you can see, chalet-style accommodation in Flaine provides the aesthetic attractions that appeal to traditionalists, with the modern conveniences that have made this resort one of the most manageable and satisfying for all sorts of guests.
