The most flexible ski holidays, made easy. Let's go.
Authentic alpine adventure
Lying in the pretty Giffre valley within the Grand Massif range, Samoëns is a rural resort town that has not lost sight of its roots. You’ll find charming rustic farmhouses and plenty of evidence of the town’s fascinating stonemason history as you wander the cobbled streets.
While this town is proud of its history, it also loves the great outdoors and offers an inspiring number of ways for you to explore. So, one day you could be discovering the 400 kilometres of biking trails, and the next, chilling out by the lake at Lac aux Dames leisure centre.
6 reasons we think you’ll love summer in Samoëns
Jaysinia Botanical Garden
Dive into the world of alpine flora at this spectacular botanical garden. Spanning almost four hectares, the garden specialises in mountain plants from around the world. With 2400 species to admire, you’re in for an inspiring day out.
Treetop trails
Zip lines, rope bridges, treetop pathways... if this sounds like fun then you’ll love Samoëns Indiana Parc. With four different courses of increasing difficulty level and routes designed especially for young children, this place is a hit with families.
Outstanding views
Ski lifts operate all summer so you can get up into the mountains with ease. It’s even possible to ride the gondola and then a chairlift up to Tête des Saix, for a beautiful view of Mont-Blanc's iconic peak.
Water activities
The Giffre river flows straight through the Samoëns resort, opening up a vast array of wet and wild activities. Rafting is a popular choice but don’t overlook the thrill of hydrospeeding, where you float down the river with a bodyboard.
Explore beneath the mountains
Get a different perspective of the mountains and discover an underground world of caves and tunnels. Available just 20 minutes from Samoëns, guided tours of an impressive cave system offer a unique holiday adventure with no tight squeezes.
On your bike
Samoëns is a member of the ‘Accueil Vélo’ or ‘cyclists welcome’ scheme, guaranteeing high-quality of welcome and service when using routes. Whether you’re mountain biking, road biking, e-biking, or out on an easy family ride, you’re in for a treat.
