Ski Lifts in Flaine
Flaine’s ski lift system is good, but it’s not yet on par with the skiing. While Flaine’s ski area is perfect for beginners and intermediates, the ski lifts do not reflect this, and too often there is a drag lift when all you want is a chairlift.
Flaine Ski Lifts
On the whole, the Flaine lift system is good. There are far too many drag lifts, however, which limits the enthusiasm of beginner and intermediate snowboarders. For instance, throughout the Grand Massif there are 32 drag lifts in total and as many as 11 of these are in Flaine, and although most of Flaine’s drag lifts provide access to beginner pistes and are gentle, the remainder of Flaine’s ski lifts include just ten chairlifts, three gondolas and a bucket lift.
The best aspect about Flaine’s lift system is that the resort allows access to LE Pre chairlift, Flaine Forum bucket lift and the moving walkway at Le Bissec free of charge. If you want to learn skiing on the cheap, it really is an excellent place to start.
Flaine Ski Lift Company
The ski lifts in Flaine are owned and operated by the Companie des Alpes, which also runs the ski lift systems in Samoens and Morillon, but not in Les Carroz. The lifts in Les Carroz are run by Soremac.
