Skiing
The village of Samoens is set in the ski area of the Grand Massif. The free ski bus stops 2 mins walk away and this takes you to the Grand Massif lift, 5 mins drive. The area has 270 km of ski runs extending to an height of 2470 metres. The ski school is one of the best in the area and children start on the slopes at the age of 4. They have a great kindergarten in the village and an entertaining infant area at the top of the main lift. What really appeals about Samoens is the great atmosphere in the village after a days skiing. You really get the feeling you are welcome here and with the studio within an easy walking distance the whole family can join in the fun. Every Wednesday, winter or summer, there is a weekly market to have fun buying and trying your French out. The village offers plenty for everyone even if you are not a skier. Ice skating, crosscountry ski, husky rides and much more.
Travel
Samoens is approx 45 mins drive from Geneva airport or 8hrs drive from Calais. Many airlines now fly to Geneva from many parts of the U.K. The drive from Calais is all motorway except for the last 12 miles so making it an easy access. There are many good cheap hotels along the way. Hiring a car in Geneva airport is a good way to travel to Samoens from the airport and driving is good even when its snowing.
Distances
There are plenty of villages and towns of interest and charm within easy driving of the village of Samoens. The mountains area is vast and is easy accessed by foot from the village. In the winter free ski buses travel to nearby villages all throughout the day.
Further details
The village of Samoens has all you could need in the way of local supermarkets, restaurants, bars, places of interest and a charm of its own. The flowers in the summer are superb and the walk down by the river is relaxing and interesting. Locals relax and cool down in the large outdoor swimming pool, situated in the lovely park area near to the centre of the village. We have been going to Samoens now for 4 years and we are always finding something new. Why not hire a guide and walk the mountains and take in the breathtaking views or just sit in the square testing out the local wine. Summer or Winter its got it all and you just cannot help falling in love with Samoens.
