Flumet / St Nicolas la Chapelle

Located in the Alps, Flumet and St Nicolas la Chapelle lie at the heart of the Upper Val d’Arly Mont-Blanc.

They are a true village-resort where authenticity, respect for nature and a wide range of sports facilities blend harmoniously.

In summer, Flumet / St Nicolas la Chapelle is a major tourist crossroads on the Route des Grandes Alpes and a centre for walks and excursions.

On foot or by mountain bike, gentle family outings or panoramic routes facing Mont Blanc: everyone finds their own pace to explore unspoilt landscapes of forests, flower-filled alpine pastures and mountain lakes.

Its lake is ideal for swimming and games, making it the must-visit spot on sunny days.

In winter, it’s the gentle version of the Alps: accessible skiing, snowshoe walks, sledging, Savoyard specialities and an authentic village under the friendly gaze of Mont Blanc.

It is also a gateway to the Espace Diamant ski area, easily accessible and offering varied slopes, ideal for families, beginners or leisure skiers.

But Flumet is not limited to alpine skiing: snowshoe trails and winter hikes lead through pristine landscapes, from snowy forests to magnificent Mont Blanc panoramas.
