Finally, Flaine is one of the most environmentally committed resorts.
Indeed, the centre is entirely pedestrian. All journeys are made by shuttle bus, on foot or on skis.
In 2007, the resort of Flaine created an environmental observatory to protect and respect the local heritage. Furthermore, the Grand Massif is the first ski area in the world to be certified "Green Globe". This certification rewards the resort's efforts in favour of the environment.
Finally, Grand Massif Domaines Skiables (GMDS) is committed to complying with regulations and becoming a model of action by 2030. Its main commitments are: zero net carbon, positive biodiversity and zero waste.
