Resort Description

Flumet is at the heart of Val d’Arly Mont-Blanc, and area of outstanding beauty, and the ski resort of FLUMET-St Nicolas la Chapelle settles into the landscape with harmony and is a charming spread of chalets. It offers the authentic charm of an unspoilt Savoie village resort and seems to be a resort that has achieved a balance between providing thoroughly modern facilities whilst preserving its rustic charm. The village is surrounded by forests, grazing meadows – great for powder turns, natural water sources and beautiful rock formations.

Wherever you stay in FLUMET, in the centre of the village (1.5km from the ski runs), at the foot of the resort’s lifts, or even at St NICOLAS la Chapelle (3km from the ski runs), you can use the FREE shuttle buses, provided by the ski lift company, which run in continuous rotation.
