Samoens Village

Samoëns Village is located in the Haute-Savoie region, at the heart of the Giffre massif, close to the Grand Massif ski area shared with neighbouring resorts. Recognised as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Samoëns charms visitors with its stone architecture and characterful streets, best explored on foot. The surrounding area offers excellent hiking opportunities, notably towards the Cirque de Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, a striking natural site framed by cliffs and waterfalls, including the well-known Cascade du Rouget. In winter, the ski area is the main draw, while summer opens the door to outdoor pursuits and exploring the mountain scenery nearby. The village retains a lively local atmosphere, with its Wednesday market popular for regional produce, and an ice rink open to visitors. For dining, the restaurant La Puzze is appreciated for the quality of its produce, its varied menu and a warm welcome. Combining architectural heritage, unspoilt nature and genuine village life, Samoëns makes an appealing base for discovering the Giffre valley throughout the year.
