Ski area Grand Massif

The Grand Massif connects five ski resorts and therefore makes it one of the largest ski areas in France. 265 kilometres of piste at altitudes between 697 and 2,480 m leave no wishes unfulfilled. A total of 67 lift systems transport you easily up the mountains. From Morillon you can access the ski area directly via two chair lifts. Generally the piste difficulty increases with the altitude, but also beginners can explore the upper area on a few red and blue pistes.

For beginners there piste "Les Cascades" is a real highlight: it stretches over 14 km down from Flaine to Sixt Fer á Cheval and therefore offers a magnificent view of the Mont Blanc. If you are lucky you can spy some ice climbers working their up the frozen waterfalls.

Pros can burn off steam on the pistes at the Lac de Gers, at Grandes Platières and the Tête Pelouse. A real freeride paradise is the Combe de Gers, a 2.5 km long deep powder snow run, descending over 800 m difference in altitude. Freestylers however can run riot in various snow parks, spead over the area.

Even the smallest ones can enjoy themselves: in close proximity to the resort there is not only ample practise area, but also the "Kidz Park" with whoops and banks for trying out some first freestyle tricks. Also there is the Marvel Safari: a forest descent with info boards along the way to explain the local flora and fauna. A ski kindergarten ensures that the little ones are taken care of properly.61
