Samoens Holidays – Samoens holidays offer much more than you would expect from a regular ski resort. At 700m the village is a Savoyard charm oozing irresistible calm vibe making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a short getaway to unwind.
It’s situated in a prime location, just under an hour from Geneva, which makes it a favourite destination for those looking for a short weekend break in one of the world’s freshest runs.
In addition, its excellent inter-resort links make it a firm favourite among skiers of all abilities as the vast skiing option creates room for everyone from novices to advanced skiers.
One of the most appealing advantages of Samoens resort is its accessibility. The resort is situated in one of the largest ski domains in the world – the vast Grand Massif. The ski area is a combination of five resorts and Samoens is centrally located allowing the skiers to conveniently access other resorts quickly and with ease.
The snow conditions are fairly good and although the local slopes in Samoens, as well as the expansive area of Grand Massif, aren’t some of the highest by the French standard, most of the runs are north-facing which means they stay in a good condition (without getting slushy) for longer.
The weather is never too extreme to have a blast on the Samoens Mountains – On clear days you can head straight to Flaine, for some great skiing above the tree-line with astounding views over the sublime Mont Blanc range.
When the visibility isn’t at its best, you can head to Les Carroz or Morillon to enjoy the tranquil forest trails where great visibility is almost a guarantee.
