The stunning village of Samoens is an Alpine gem. It is possibly the best year-round destination the French Alps has to offer and that is why we choose to live and work here. Nestled in the heart of the Giffre Valley and just an hour’s drive from Geneva, it is ideal as a short-break getaway destination, but needs an extended stay to do it justice.

Access to the Grand Massif Ski area is fast and simple using the Grand Massif Express Telecabine, just a few minutes walk from the town centre.

Be sure to visit during the summer. The range of activities includes white-water-rafting, parapenting, mountain biking, horse riding, archery, ‘via-feratta’, swimming at the fabulous open air pool and much, much more. The Giffre valley has a wide floor, which allows leisurely walks through the forest. Furthermore, easy access to higher altitude treks up on the surrounding mountains is available.
