The Cascades Ski Run

Experience one of the Grand Massif's most iconic ski adventures: the 14-kilometer Cascades run. This legendary blue piste starts from the summit of Flaine (2500m) and descends all the way to Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval (750m), offering breathtaking panoramic views of Mont Blanc and the Aiguilles Rouges. It's renowned for its gentle gradient, making it accessible for intermediate skiers, and its untouched natural beauty, winding through a pristine nature reserve. Skiers often spot chamois and ibex along the route. The run is lift-served from Samoëns via the Grand Massif Express gondola to Samoëns 1600, then connecting lifts towards Flaine. Allow ample time (1-2 hours) to fully appreciate the scenery. Operating hours are generally from late December to mid-April, subject to snow conditions. No additional cost beyond a Grand Massif ski pass.
