Winter sports in Flaine's nordic area

Col de Pierre Carrée

Enjoy some après-ski time at the Col de Pierre Carrée.

Winter sports holidays are also synonymous with calm and serenity. Flaine is a place of discovery of rare beauty. Take advantage of your days or moments in après-ski to enjoy exotic sports and activities. At 1,844 m above sea level, overlooking the Arve valley and the resort of Flaine, the Col de Pierre Carrée offers the highest and snowiest Nordic area in the Alps.

 

Little tips: The Nordic area is accessible from the resort by free shuttles. They run all day between Flaine Forêt, the hamlet of Flaine and the Col de Pierre Carrée site.
