The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

Le Grand Massif links the resorts of Flaine, Les Carroz, Sixt Fer à Cheval and Morrillon to make one of the most beautiful 'playgrounds in the snow' in the Alps. As well as stunningly beautiful scenery stretching as far as the eye can see, thanks to its geographic situation, the region enjoys a reliable snow record throughout the season. Beginners and experienced skiers alike are equally well provided for and even the most hesitant skiers will enjoy the legendary Piste des Cascades which follows a 14km descent from the summit of the Grand Platières at 2500m, right to the village of Sixt some 1700m lower. A free ski bus brings you back to Samoëns.

Set in the majestic 'Haut Giffre Valley', Samoens is a typical alpine village, huddled around its 11th century church and its covered market hall. This vibrant, family resort has all you need in terms of shops, bars, a cinema .

Samoëns is linked to the vast Grand Massif ski area (along with Flaine, Les Carroz, Sixt Fer à Cheval and Morrillon) which, with 260km of pistes, is one of the largest skiing areas in France. All standards are well provided for and in addition to downhill skiing there are 90km of cross-country tracks and a skating rink.

Thanks to its traditional rustic architecture, its rich heritage of stone-masonry, the partially pedestrian central square, Samoëns is a listed village, an unspoilt mountain village with an abundance of character.

If Samoëns is great for those who like to be pampered, those who like to soak up the mountain atmosphere, it is also very much a serious sports resort.

The village is at 720m but thanks to the Grand Massif Express cable car, it takes just 8 minutes to reach the Grand Massif ski area which reaches 2500m and covers an area of 265km with an excellent range of pistes to suit all levels (17 green, 60 blue, 53 red, 14 black).

We strongly recommend that you book any child-care arrangements in advance of your holiday, especially during school holidays.

Cross Country skiing
With the right equipment, you can launch yourself on the 46 km of maintained pistes which follow the sides of the Giffre valley. If there is a shortage of snow at lower altitude, the Col de Joux Plane is at 1700m so you are more or less guaranteed to be able to ski there and enjoy breathtaking views of the Giffre valley and the Mont Blanc range whilst skiing on well marked cross country tracks. Approximate price: 6.50€/ day and 27€/week per adult, 4€/day and 16€/week per child.

HANDISKI
Samoëns Handiglisse Association works with the ESF ski school to offer lessons for disabled skiers and provides specially adapted equipment. These lessons are for a minimum of 2 consecutive hours and are charged at the standard rate for private lessons. It is essential to book well in advance so that correct equipment can be reserved. A specialist instructor will contact you with all the necessary information regarding equipment, meeting place, lift passes etc. For further information contact the ESF, Place de l'autogare, Village, 74340 Samoëns. Tel.04 50 34 40 86 or 04 50 34 43 12. Website: www.esfsamoens.com. Emai:info@esfsamoens.com.

Snow-shoeing: 15 marked tracks weave their way through vast silent powdered peaks and untamed valleys. In just one day, these glacial adventures plunge you into the heart of the high mountains or for the more intrepid there are treks lasting 3/5 days. It is most important that you are properly prepared for any excursions in the mountains so before setting out, we strongly recommend that you take advice from the 'Office de la Haute Montagne' (mountain information office) or that you call upon the services of a mountain guide or an instructor.

Toboggan: A toboggan run has been installed in the village at 720m. It is easily accessible and a great, safe place to introduce young children to the joys of tobogganing. The run has been set up on an artificial snow slope which is 30m long and 10m wide. There is another toboggan run (Luge de Samoens) on a south facing slope, a few kilometres out of the village by the Joux Plane cross country ski area at 1600m altitude. It is strongly recommended that small children wear helmets in case of collisions.

Skating: A part open-air, part covered skating rink which measures 33 x 18 metres and has 600 m² of artificial ice.

Dog-sleds Chiens de traineaux: Discover the snowy landscape of the Haut-Giffre valley as the dogs pull your sled. Location (either at Samoëns, or at Sixt Fer à Cheval) depends on snow conditions. Price for a 20-30 minute introduction: 35€ per person and 17,50€ per child from 4 to 10 yrs old (must be accompanied by an adult). For more info:Tel:04 50 34 46 02 / 04 50 96 64 19. Email: syndicat.haut.giffre@wanadoo.fr

Speed Riding: The latest snow sport which combines skiing and flying. Speed riding is a slightly off-beat mixture of off-piste skiing and paragliding. Hedge-hopping, leap frog, glides over the snow-fields, Speed Riding constantly floats between air and land. Samoëns has a Speed Riding training area with a special learners slope in the ski area. Cost of a 5 day course: 400 ?. For more info: Pégase Air Samoëns - Tel. 04 50 34 95 80 / 06 07 14 94 24. www.parapente-samoens.com.

Ice Climbing: Samoëns is surrounded by amazing sites including no less than 80 waterfalls. When the temperature drops in winter they become temporary ice falls. To climb these seemingly delicate structures is a delicate game. Subtelty, cunning and the ability to choose the right route are the name of the game. That said, the technical side of it is quite easy to master and to spend a winters day ice-climbing, suspended out of time, is an extraordinary experience.

Nordic walking:Originally from Finland, Nordic walking involves walking with a pair of ski sticks. A Nordic Walking session starts with a technical briefing, a warm up and stretching excercises. Through the simultaneous exercising of the arms and legs, Nordic walking improves co-ordination, respiration, muscle mass and general well-being. Price for ½ day including hire of sticks:12 €/adult. For more info contact: Bureau des Guides - Tel. 04 50 34 43 12

Introduction to Paragliding: Instructor accompanied flights permited for people aged 5 and upwards.

Snow Moto: Excursion on a snow motorbike, accompanied by a qualified instructor on a marked track close to the downhill ski area. Open for all abilities, no licence needed.
