The area is directly connected to the Grand Massif via the famous Piste des Cascades, a 14-kilometer blue run descending from the summit of Flaine along the nature reserve, offering exceptional panoramic views of the Fer à Cheval cirque and the Rouget waterfall, known as the Queen of the Alps. The alpine area is served by 4 drag lifts, and the entire zone benefits from artificial snowmaking to guarantee good conditions throughout the season.

These trails wind through forests and valleys in a pristine environment at the gateway to the nature reserve, with intermediate circuits allowing skiers to create custom routes according to their preferences and skill level.

The resort also offers a groomed toboggan run, marked snowshoe trails and groomed winter footpaths allowing visitors to discover the Fer à Cheval cirque without needing snowshoes.
