Brilliant property in excellent location
From first booking to arrival our host was wonderful. The year's delay due to local COVID rules was truly generous. The property is compact for 8 adults but has everything you need. Generous amounts of crockery and all kinds of cooking utensils are supplied. Beds are good quality and the linen/towels excellent. We loved the location, 100m to the ski bus and 10 mins walk to Sherpa, but especially the river walk which leads to the Grand Massif lift. Highly recommend this property.

Well located for Samoëns town and the Grand Massiff Express chairlift
The property is well located, 10 minutes walk from the town centre and about 15 minutes walk to the Grand Massiff Express chairlift bottom station. The ski-bus (Blue-Line) is 3 minutes walk from the chalet and runs to the lift station regularly throughout the day. We had eight in total in the chalet, of which six were adults, including two siblings and was cosy. Although the property sleeps more, it would be cramped with more guests. Other chalets and accommodations we have used have had a specific drying area for boards and skis: with six boards and two sets of skis, plus associated boots and helmets, the cupboard was just sufficient. As two families holidaying together, we had planned to self-cater for the duration of our stay. Whilst there is a four ring hob, the oven, grill and microwave are combined and was not suitable for our needs. The chalet is well set out, with unlimited hot water and is well heated. It was well presented, clean and tidy, with very comfortable beds. Whilst there is a dishwasher, but there is not a washing machine. The nearest supermarket is only an eight minute walk away. If bringing own vehicle there is covered parking adjacent to the chalet. Samoëns is a wonderful town on the edge of a great skiing and boarding area. Chalet I4, Bouton d'Or, Fermes de Samoëns is well located to explore the locality.

Great atmospheric chalet in beautiful village
Nicest part of France we’ve visited, real character & loads to do during summer for young & old. Surrounded by stunning mountains & with lovely paths along the riverside for walking or gentle mountain biking. The chalet was very comfortable and well furnished, nothing to criticise.

About the host

Hosted by Lynne Panes

Host profile image
We are the Panes Family in the UK. We have 2 elder daughters who have spent the last 20 years holidaying with us in Samoens, now bringing their young families & friends.We are both recently retired and love to spend our time in Samoens enjoying the amazing scenery, summer and winter activities on offer

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Chalet in 2005, having visited Samoens initially for many years for long weekends skiing, we visited in the summer of 2003 and put our names down to purchase the property off plan, having also fallen in love with the many summer activities on offer enabling us to enjoy Samoens all year round.
We chose this property as it is in a perfect location close to the village, ski lifts and ski bus stop and in a quiet south facing setting perfect for 2 families - one per floor and for our long term requirements of sleeping up to 10, to spend time with our girls and their families.
Samoens is not your typical skiing resort - there are no high rise concrete apartment blocks here and it look more like a typical Austrian Village. It is a working town so is not just for holiday makers - many people live here all year round. It is suitable for young and old and many families return year after year as has plenty on offer for non skiers.
Being only 1 hour from Geneva airport and close to Chamonis, Les Porte de Soleil, Megeve - there is plenty of skiing on offer apart from the Grand Massif and of course all the lakes of Annecy, Geneva are only 1 hour away for summer activities.
We never thought of taking a summer holiday in the Alps as a family - as we didn't realise how much there is to do.
The area is perfect for lovers of nature, food, scenery, all outdoor pursuits and culture.

We hope that you visit and find out for yourselves - all our visitors over the past 15 years love Samoens.

It has been described as a hidden gem of the French Alps in the Telegraph - unfortunately not so hidden after the review - but that is us being selfish not wanting to share our little gem!

What makes this property unique

We chose this property as it is in a perfect location close to the village and in a quiet south facing setting perfect for 2 families - one per floor and for our long term requirements of sleeping up to 9, to spend time with our girls and their families.
The meadow location and views make this a tranquil place to stay whether you are looking for an active, cultural or laid back holiday - Samoens has it all!
