There is a brand new lift to take you to the top of the resort in no time replacing 2 old and slow lifts. the lift system is great for snowboarders as there are very few drag lifts and mostly chair lifts throughout.
Special interest holidays
Walking and mountain biking have become extremely popular in the area over the last few years. The apartment sits at the start of the famous "Col de Joux Plane" which is a fantastic road ascent to 1700m for those keen road cyclists. One of the hardest rides in France, offering a real test and some breath taking scenery. In terms of waking, there is little need for a car as there are over 30 walks for all abilities right from the front door. Mountain biking is now well catered for with 20 signed routes from green to black within 10 minutes ride of the apartment. We had full literature available on request.

Owner profile
About the owner
Our family lives in the UK but spends as much time as we can in the French Alps. After much searching, we stumbled across the beautiful village of Samoens and decided that it had everything that a family would want from a resort in both the Winter and the Summer.
We have 3 kids, from the ago of 13 down to 1 so it was important that there was enough on offer to keep all three busy, whilst allowing my wife and I a holiday to!
If you are into the outdoor life or just want to relax in the clean air of the Alps, Samoens really is the place to visit. So far unspoilt by the overcrowding that some of the other French resorts suffer from, there are times in January and March that you can be skiing in the Grand Massif and think there is no one else there.
Year purchased: 2009
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought this property 3 years ago when the plans were first released and although it is only just finished, we have spent the last 3 ski seasons in the village and last summer as well. We love the area so much as it offers things to do for both of us as well as our 3 kids.
Winter time is beautiful and the skiing is great for all abilities. Summer was a real surprise as there is actually more to do than in winter. The area is just developing it's mountain biking potential and as well there is parapenting, rafting, climbing and of course walking. All in all you can see why the resort has just been voted 'Best Small Resort' in Europe by the famous Hardy's Skiing & Snowboarding Guide 2009 and also attained the "famille plus montagne award. The resort is less than 1hr from geneva
