Le Grand Massif

Location of the alpin ski area — Le Grand Massif

Alpine ski area — Le Grand Massif

The Grand Massif is one of the largest linked ski areas in France, offering an immense 265 km of runs served by over 60 ski lifts. It connects five resorts with distinct characters: the modern and high-altitude Flaine, the family villages of Les Carroz d’Araches and Morillon, the authentic Samoens and the preserved Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval. Extending from 700 to 2,500 metres altitude, the ski area benefits from excellent snowfall, favoured by a predominantly north-facing aspect (80% of runs). It is also renowned for its exceptional panoramas, particularly the unbeatable view of Mont Blanc from the Flaine summits. The strength of the Grand Massif lies in the diversity of its sectors: Flaine is the highest point, offering wide blue runs, technical sectors and well-regarded freeride zones such as Corbalanche. Morillon and Les Carroz particularly appeal to families and progressing skiers, with forest runs like the long green Marvel run at Morillon and numerous fun areas. Samoens, linked via the Saix plateau (1,600 m) which serves as a hub, offers quick access to the entire ski area from a traditional village. The ski area’s iconic experience is the Cascades run — a 14 km blue run allowing a memorable descent from the summit of Flaine to the village of Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval through a magnificent nature reserve setting. Note that while this descent is ski-in ski-out, the return from Sixt to the rest of the Grand Massif is by shuttle.
