Resort Guide for Samoens, France

Resort Profile

The Grand Massif circuit offers over 265kms of skiing between Flaine, Les Carroz, and Samoens. Samoens (720m) is the perfect counterpoint - a small traditional town which has its origins stretching back to the 5th century. It is registered as a historic monument, thanks to the work of its stonemasons, and the town is centred around a renowned botanical garden. The main slopes are a short bus ride from the centre, but many are north facing and retain a good snow cover. In general skiing nearest Samoens is a little more challenging than the usual Grand Massif fayre, and as such it does not represent the best base for the more catious intermdediate.
