Flaine

Flaine sits beneath the Grandes Platières in Haute-Savoie, France, where a purpose-built resort occupies a broad alpine bowl at about 1,600 metres. Created in the 1960s, it forms part of the Grand Massif ski area, with lifts connecting its slopes to Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and Sixt. Flaine stands apart from many French resorts through its modernist concrete architecture, designed largely by Bauhaus-trained architect Marcel Breuer. Works of public art, including a sculpture by Jean Dubuffet, add a cultural dimension to its pedestrian centre. In summer, the surrounding limestone terrain supports hiking and climbing.
