# Flaine

Flaine is part of the Grand Massif ski area, one of the largest interlinked skiing regions in France with around 270km of groomed runs. This also covers and links the neighbouring villages and ski resorts of Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and Sixt. Those taking a ski holiday in Flaine do not however have to buy the whole Grand Massif ski pass. There is a slightly cheaper day ski pass option aimed at the beginner skier and limited to the lifts in the local area. Originally, Flaine resort consisted of two levels - Flaine Forêt and Flaine Forum - but a chalet development - Hameau de Flaine - was added later, and a new section called Flaine Montsoleil between the original settlement and the Hameau has now been added. The villages around Flaine have also become more popular as access points to Le Grand Massif ski area. A future project plans to link Sixt fully into the system - currently, skiers can take a ski run down to the village but only get back into the ski area via Samoëns.
