Located between Geneva and Chamonix in the Haut Giffre valley, Samoens (altitude 700 m) is a village typical of Haute-Savoie, classified by the Monuments Historiques for its beautifully preserved architecture and history. A genuine mountain village of chocolate box chalets and magnificent scenery, Samoens is centred around its 11th century church, with its shady square and covered market halls that come alive every Wednesday. Samoens is in the heart of the Grand Massif domain and the recent addition of a gondola from the village to Samoens 1600 means that 265 km of ski runs are just 8 minutes away. The ski residence offers a group of small traditional-style 3-storey buildings containing 120 apartments and terraced chalets. Wifi access and garage parking are available for a fee. The apartments are fully equipped and en suite with a shower or bath. Additional facilities include a TV and a kitchenette with mini-oven or microwave and dishwasher. The residence has a small heated indoor swimming pool. Guests may also enjoy the sauna and steam room (for a fee), or play a game of pool/snooker.

This old mountain village is a real charmer – evidence of historic stonemasonry lines the streets and squares and with seven surrounding peaks, Mother Nature’s thrown in her own masterpieces too. The vibe in town is authentically French and pleasantly laid back; out on the piste, the Grand Massif ski area presents 265km of seriously underrated terrain.
