From the property, access to Samoëns 1600 is easy where you have the whole of the Grand Massif and its 265 km of snow-sure pistes at your disposal. The Grand Massif consists of Flaine, Morillon, Les Carroz, Sixt-Fer-a Cheval and of course, Samoëns. The resort has a high point of 2500 metres on mostly north-facing slopes and gets regular snowfall thanks to its proximity to Mont Blanc and the microclimate it generates.
The centre of the pretty medieval alpine village of Samoëns, with its plentiful shops, restaurants and bars is just a five minute walk away. This charming village also has outdoor swimming pools, an ice rink, and a large leisure area developed around the picturesque ‘Lac aux Dames’. As well as the skiing, the Giffre Valley has a range of activities on offer throughout the year. Whether you’re looking for walks along the river or hikes in the stunning nature reserve of Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval and the other mountain terrain; mountain bike adventures; paragliding or rafting - everything is here to be discovered!
In 2012, the Telegraph asked the question “Is this France’s best ski resort?”. This article put Samoëns firmly on the international ski map. Since then, Samoëns, and the Grand Massif have gone from strength to strength with huge improvements to the lift infrastructure. Over the last few years in particular, several ski lifts have been upgraded and new ones added.

The Grand Massif ski region incorporates the ski resorts of Morillon, Samoeons, Flaine, Clusaz, Sixt and Les Carroz.
The Samoëns ski area offers a varied playground accessible to all. For expert skiers there are black and red pistes at the top of the resort and a vast off-piste area to indulge your enthusiasm. Beginners will improve on the lower, more gentle blue and green slopes which were entirely re-designed in 2003. Small children are welcomed at the children's ski area (jardin d´enfants) at the top of the Grand Massif Express cable car.
At 2 500 m, the summit of the Grandes Platières... A breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Mont Blanc seems to be just a couple of steps away, so impressive is its presence. The Désert de Platé, a vast snowy territory with a unique geological curiosity; a genuine stone glacier over 40 million years old!
Flaine offers wide open spaces with 140 km of pistes of all levels, marked and made safe. Just a few oases where you can eat and drink punctuate the landscape which is otherwise an untouched natural space.
Morillon is the perfect place to enjoy relaxed snowsports with the whole family, in welcoming and authentic natural surroundings. Among the 72 pistes of the Grand Massif, Marvel, the beautiful green run is a must for those who wish to combine the pleasure of skiing with the discovery of local fauna, as explained on the information boards along the edge of the piste. It even has a local hero… Did you know that Morillon is the home of Antoine Dénériaz, the 2006 Olympic downhill champion ?
Samoëns is a beautiful village, listed 88th in the French National Office of Historic Monuments, and the only ski resort in France to be so listed. The impressive Grand Massif mountain range surrounds Samoëns, and the rich fertile countryside has established long-standing agricultural roots.
The Giffre River runs through the valley and there are several lakes which provide the focal points for some of the numerous walks in the area. Samoens is a village, not just a ski resort so is busy and vibrant all year round, with an impressive range of restaurants, cafes and bars catering to all tastes as well as a widely varying selection of shops and other amenities.
