Tradition, scenery and skiing too!
Samoëns is a charming village that lays claim to 9,729 hectares of prime Alpine territory, ranging from 710m to 2,500m in height. It is a traditional Savoyard market town, consisting of a mixture of wooden and stone built houses, reflecting the history and craftsmanship of the region. It is known to be less frenetic than some of the neighbouring ski resorts, but has equal access to the superb skiing for which the French ski resorts are famed.

Sports for all seasons
Best known as a ski resort, Samoëns offers an extensive range of winter sports as well as some of the best skiing in the Alps, thanks to its own 28 slopes and access links to the Grand Massif. The adventurous can try sports such as dog sledding, climbing frozen waterfalls and heli-skiing, while on offer for those who prefer gentler pursuits are snowshoe walking and a variety of Après Ski activities in the great selection of bars and restaurants in the town! Samoëns isn’t just a snow resort, however, as its beauty in Summer attracts all those who appreciate wildlife and stunning scenery and activities such as white water sports, climbing and hang gliding.

An historical monument
Perhaps unusually for a ski resort, Samoëns is quite unspoilt and has been declared an Historical Monument. Its chapels and expert stonecutting traditions make it a place of great interest and also worthy of note is the Great Linden Tree which stands in the centre of the town, and which was planted in 1438.

How to get there
You can fly into Geneva or Lyons and then travel by road to reach Samoëns, or take Eurostar from London to Bourg St. Maurice, again completing your journey by road.

Property prices and availability in Samoens
Property in Alpine ski resorts rarely comes cheap and Samoëns is no exception to this rule. Careful searching, however, can pay dividends and you don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy Samoën’s delights if you opt for a traditionally constructed chalet which can be bought for less than half the price you would pay in, for example, better known resorts such as Chamonix.
