Les Carroz d'Araches - Flaine

The origins of Carroz d'Araches and Flaine

Les Carroz d'Araches is a winter and summer tourist resort in the Haute-Savoie department, in the town of Arâches-la-Frasse. The creation of the station dates back to 1936 and, on January 29, 1939, the first ski lift was inaugurated, which was the longest in Europe at the time. Since then, tourism has been the resort's main resource. We practice high mountains, hiking, climbing, caving, canyoning, rafting, swimming in white water, horse riding, free flight (paragliding, hot air balloon), but also tennis, golf, ice skating, mountain biking and much more. This small village on a human scale will seduce you with its typically Haute-Savoie architecture made up of pretty chalets.

As for Flaine, it is a French winter sports resort created in 1968, as part of the 1964 Snow Plan. It is a safe bet for winter sports enthusiasts, the snow cover there is exceptional and the view of Mont-Blanc is breathtaking. The station is classified as a historical monument.
