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 18/02

High pressure over Eastern and Central Europe creates a strong barrier that is preventing low pressure and unsettled weather making its way in off the Atlantic. The result will be a cool but otherwise really stable week and weekend ahead for the French Alps.

Sun will be the order of the day for most of this week, with a few flutters of cloud cover moving in through the middle of this week before becoming permanent over the weekend. The freezing line will drop overnight, with lows of -9°C possible at 2,000m. From its nadir at 1,000m, the line will climb in the midday sun, reaching 2,000m every day, bringing spring-like conditions to make areas.

Early indicators are for some more snowfall to begin the new week, but it remains too early to tell whether this will bring meaningful snow to the region.
