The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

Samoens is a traditional French village in Haute Savoie and is only 80kms from the nearest airport in Geneva. The village remains unspoilt and does not have high rise concrete apartment blocks that are present in so many other French resorts. It flourishes all year round.

There is an abundance of opportunities for the out of doors enthusiast throughout the year making it a delightful holiday destination at any time. The area has a good snow record in winter and warm sunny summers. Its location also makes it a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area with towns including Chamonix, Morzine and Annecy all within an hour's drive.

Couples, groups of friends and families of all ages will love this picturesque village with all it has to offer. Besides the many outdoor pursuits there is also an excellent choice of bars and restaurants tucked away in its narrow streets in which to relax and refuel after the exertions of the day. Many are traditional Savoyard in style and attract a mixed clientele of both locals and visitors alike.

The Grand Massif / Samoens area

The River Giffre flows through Samoens and many lovely walks and cycle rides hug its banks. On your doorstep, the Giffre is also used for water based sports such as rafting, canyoning and kayaking. Besides river focused activity other options include golf, parapenting, horse riding, climbing, walking up into the mountains and mountain biking.

When it's too warm to be energetic you can be lazy and take a stroll through the village, stopping off for icecream or a beer sur terrace to watch the world go by.

Samoens also has an outdoor activity park called Indiana Park. Amongst its facilities are 6 tennis courts, archery, golf driving range, children's play area with slides, roundabouts and swings, football pitch, lakes and roller blading paths. Children will love the woodland assault course of ladders, walkways and rope slides.

“Fantastic Chalet and great location” Samoens is beautiful and loads to do in the area- lovely walks along the river, outdoor swimming pool, white water rafting and paragliding to name a few. Hike up to Lac de Ger was a real highlight and the restaurant at the lake is fantastic but we also spent a lot of time chilling out by the chalet and sampling the local wines and cheeses! The chalet is in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes from the river, 5-10mins to bars, restaurants and centre of town and has everything you need. Beautiful residence in a fab location - what more could we ask? We went in summer we noticed the ski bus stop was only 3-4 mins from the chalet door. We would definitely go back .

“Great ground floor apartment. Will be back” Took the family skiing to Samoens had a great time. Apartment 5 mins walk to town centre and 10 mins walk to the lifts. Clean and bright. We hope to book for next year.

“A fantastic apartment, in a fantastic position, for a fantastic holiday.” The apartment is in a spectacular position, over looked by mountains on all sides. The bedrooms are a good size, and the kitchen is well fitted out with all you need. Set just a short walk outside the lovely village of Samoens with lots of small local shops, and fine restaurants. The gondola to Samoens 1600 is approximately two minuets drive away where there is lots of free parking. A fantastic apartment, in a fantastic position, for a fantastic holiday. Thank you for the opportunity for our family to taste it for ourselves.

“lovely location, great views” Within walking distance of the town, great views quiet at night. Helpful owner. comfy beds and lots of home touches. Living/dining/kitchen is all one room, but plenty big enough. First bedroom big, second double bedroom smaller. All in all a clean and well equipped ground floor flat, in a lovely town. A great base for exploring in the summer.
