Ski holidays Samoëns - winter sports domicile under monument protection
Samoëns
Ski holidays in one of France's greatest ski areas with more than 250 kilometres of pistes - while staying in a charming mountain village at an altitude of 1,600 m. If that's what you're longing for, Samoëns is the place to be. Just under 2,500 inhabitants call the community their home, the only ski resort in the Grande Nation that is completely under monumental protection! In order to protect the historic and characteristic houses that were built of large natural stones, the village now relies on "soft tourism". And in Samoëns, past and present collide in other ways as well. While the age-old tradition of stonemasonry continues to be cultivated here, the village has also recently invested in a modern infrastructure that makes it an attractive winter sports resort.This makes it very easy for winter holidaymakers to access the Grand Massif mega-ski area. Two chair lifts take you from the village directly up to the Tete des Saix at 2,125 m and from there to the three other connected ski areas.
Grand Massif
The ski region Grand Massif, located in midst of the Upper Savoyards, characterises itself by sheer endless diversity. Surrounded by a wonderful mountain landscape, dominated by the Mont-Blanc mountain range in the south, history meets modern age in a very unique way. Be it quiet and traditional, over centuries developed villages or just a basic station - the region offers incomparable contrast. Beginners just as experts will find what they are looking for here. The selection of easy and intermediate pistes is huge and very impressive. But also away from the slopes the region has much to offer. The wonderful mountain landscape can therefore also be explored on numerous cross-country trails or panoramic hiking trails, whilst quaint huts and restaurants invite you in to try their specialities.Travel Samoëns
