Description

Marking the entrance to the resort at Flaine Forum, Carl Nesjar's Fountain is a 4m80 high stainless steel structure installed in September 2008.
In winter, when temperatures drop below zero, the structure is blanketed in snow and adorned with majestic, translucent white ice stalactites. The Flaine Art Centre offers a free guided tour of the resort, in French and English, once a week during the season (booking required). Follow the director of the Art Centre through the twists and turns of Flaine, in pursuit of the History of Flaine and its little stories too... The ice fountain is one of the buildings featured on this tour. To participate in the free guided tour, you must first book a time slot online or at the Art Centre (in person or by phone).
