Not to be missed Authentic charm and a large ski area in the heart of the Alps

In the heart of Haute-Savoie, Samoëns charms with its authenticity and warm atmosphere. Listed as one of the most beautiful villages in the region, Samoëns retains a strong sense of heritage, with its snow-covered lanes, old market halls and traces of the famous stone masons, the Frahans. Nestling at an altitude of 720 m, it offers direct access to the Grand Massif ski area thanks to a cable car that takes skiers to an altitude of 1600 m in just 8 minutes. With over 265km of pistes, this is one of the largest ski areas in France. As well as skiing, Samoëns invites you to discover snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, relaxation and Savoyard gastronomy. With fondues, tartiflette and a gentle mountain atmosphere, après-ski here takes on a comforting air. Events, markets and traditions punctuate the winter season for a rich, friendly and exotic experience.
