About Samoëns

Classified as a ‘ville fleurie’ — amongst the most beautiful villages in France — Samoëns is a picturesque holiday destination for snowy ski trips and summers of hiking and mountain biking. Nestled in the Grand Massif ski region, not far from Morillon and Flaine, it’s also just over an hour from Geneva, making it popular with French and Swiss travellers. Accommodation options include private chalets as well as smart contemporary hotels, with the best places to stay in Samoëns clustered close to the town centre, perfect for on-foot explorations.

Come during the winter for fantastic skiing, ice skating and snowboarding, or enjoy trekking, horse riding and biking when the snows have melted. The Jardin Alpine La Jaÿsinia and the Cirque du Fer-a-Cheval National Park are stunning. The Ferme Ecomusée du Clos Parchet offers a wonderful glimpse into the region’s history, and the Indiana Parc will delight thrill-seekers.
