Morillon, Samoëns, Sixt and Les Carroz all link at the Plateau des Saix with Flaine to form the Grand Massif. The Grand Massif is a superb snowsure area and holds the record as always one of the top areas in the French Alps due to the closeness of Mont Blanc and its many north facing slopes.

Thanks to artificial snow making equipment (128 snow canons) this helps guarantees that the resort remains open from December through to Easter. There are 265km of downhill skiing suitable for all levels and abilities and 90 km of prepared cross-country skiing, and trails for snowshoeing and walkers.

Snowboarders and freestyle skiers are well catered for as in the Grand Massif they now have 3 state-of-the-art terrain parks, all with different themes. With a very modern computerised lift system this is a great area to ski and dotted with truly authentic restaurants and great 'Vin Chaud' stops, quiet pistes and virtually no queues this area is a true gem!
