Reaching Flaine is remarkably efficient, making it one of the most accessible high-altitude resorts in the French Alps. The primary gateway is Geneva Airport (GVA), which serves as the “standard” entry point due to its proximity; a professional transfer from Geneva typically takes just 1 hour 15 minutes. Alternatively, Chambéry Airport (CMF) offers a strategic choice for regional arrivals, with a transit time of approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

For rail travellers, the Cluses train station is the primary hub, situated only 30km from the resort centre. It is essential to note that Flaine is a 100% pedestrianised, car-free resort featuring striking Bauhaus architecture. This means vehicles are restricted within the village, necessitating a well-coordinated drop-off at designated “Welcome” centres. For the 2026 season, private transfers are highly recommended to manage the transition from the mountain road to your ski-in/ski-out residence without the logistical burden of navigating the resort’s unique vertical layout with heavy luggage.
