About the home

La Grange a’ Laurainne is an hour’s drive from Geneva set beside the beautiful village of Samoëns, once a thriving stone-cutting centre and the only leisure resort in France to be listed as an historical monument. The village abounds with traditional-style bars and restaurants yet still retains it's peaceful local atmosphere.

For skiers, the chalet is conveniently located less than five minutes drive from the high-speed Grande Massif Express Telecabin or 100 metres from a well served ski-bus network. For summer visitors it offers an ideal launch pad for hiking, biking, canoeing and many other leisure activities.

The chalet provides modern living in a typical Savoie farmhouse setting and is well furnished and equipped throughout. The open-plan ground floor is spacious and offers comfortable everyday living, leading onto a wood-deck patio and surrounding garden. Upstairs, the three bedrooms have double or kingsize beds, ample storage and there are two generously sized bathrooms.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

The Grande Massif includes the ski areas of Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns, Vernant, Sixt Fer à Cheval and Flaine covering over 265km of alpine slopes between 700 and 2800 metres. The area provides a tremendous variety of on and off piste skiing with good skiing in all types of weather conditions. It is the nearest large ski resort to Geneva.

In the summer the area provides a perfect natural theatre for a variety of outdoor pursuits or for simply enjoying the beauty of the mountains. The GR5 long distant hiking trail from Lake Geneva to Nice runs through Samoens with the famous Chamonix-Zermatt stretch, walked under the shadow of the great peaks from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, being a major attraction throughout the summer season - and there are always abundant less strenuous opportunities to escape to.

La Grange à Laurainne is situated in the ancient hamlet of Vallon d'en Haut, less than three minutes drive from the centre of Samoens, an historic village set in the beautiful Haute Giffre valley in easy distance from Geneva.

There is also the convenience of a large car park adjacent to the Telecabine with plenty parking available.

Samoens is renowned for its mountain walks and bike trails and the wide range of sport and leisure activities immediately available including hiking, cycling and mountain biking, horse riding, paragliding, rock climbing, canoeing, water rafting, an ‘Indiana Park’ adventure assault course, tennis, swimming, golf and several more.
