  • REVIEW

Located in Haut-Giffre valley, Samoens is divided in 3 ski resorts. The largest is Samoens Village (750 meters).

Protected from ugly building, it is a pleasant village with its church and its stones chalets. Samoens Village is linked to the ski area by gondola (no ski run to go back, the gondola will bring you back at the end of the day). A ski-bus service will then bring skiers back to their accommodations.

On the upper part of the area, you can also find Samoens 1600, small (only 2 buildings) and modern ski resort located directly on the slopes.

Some accommodations are also available in Vercland village, linked to Samoens 1600 by gondola and ski runs.

The 140 km of ski runs (between the trees most of the time) provided by Massif skipass (Carroz, Samoens, Sixt, Morillon) will be perfect for families.

Good skiers will rather go skiing to Flaine with Grand Massif skipass (265 km of slopes).

There, you could have fun on well known great ski runs like Cascade (blue, 14 km long). Notice, Samoens is known as a good place for snow cover thanks to its geographical location.

Pas assez de temps pour réaliser toutes les activités prévues.

    Must see or do

• Jaysinia garden

Real haven of peace, this botanic garden of 3.5 hectars (100 meters of change in altitude) offers great view on the village and a large range of flowers and plants.
Free access.

• Samoens 9 churchs

Built during the 17th century (excepted berouze and Allamands which are older), those great churchs are perfect for heritage lovers.

• The big lime

In the heart of the village, this tree is there since 1438 an has a circumference of 9.5 meters!

• Architecture

With its small path and its Grenette (old market place), the village is a nice place to stay.

 

    Good addresses

Great small restaurant in Samoens.
