Samoëns is an attractive old village that makes for a great base from which to explore the Grand Massif and the linked slopes with Les_Carroz, Morillon and Flaine.
The access gondola is slightly out of town, but it provides access to the heart of the slopes as well as the best beginner zone in the resort. The local slopes are mostly long and tree-lined, so are fantastic in bad weather conditions, but if the sun is shining, be sure to make the most of your Grand Massif pass and head to the high bowl above Flaine or the powder skiing in the Combe de Gers.
Pros and cons
- Excellent tree-lined slopes immediately above the resort
- Pretty village with good accommodation options
- Some great views from the summits
- Access lift just outside town and you must download it at the end of the day
- Quiet resort on the whole with limited nightlife
- Its easy access from Geneva means it can be busy at weekends

Snow Overview
France
Updated 28/03
After a few weeks of calm and settled conditions, cool weather moves in to begin the weekend. The freezing line drops from 2,250m in the midday sun to around 1,750 tomorrow, falling lower overnight. This will see a few flurries of snowfall bringing a useful freshener for mid-to-upper elevations.
Cloud and cool conditions continue on Sunday, before more high pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions dominate once again from Monday onwards. The freezing line will fluctuate over the course of the new week, introducing freeze-thaw conditions once again, but will settled into a pattern of hitting around 2,500m in the midday sun , cooling to 1,750m overnight.
This pattern is likely to continue for some time to come.
