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 25/04

Good conditions remain in play for resorts that are still open, with the snowpack holding up well above 2,000m. This is especially true after the good snowfall of the last couple of weeks, which has been retained at these higher elevations.

Things will remain broadly calm and dry for the French Alps this week, with high pressure bringing sun and fine, dry and bright conditions for many areas. The freezing line will climb gently over this weekend and into the new week, beginning at 1,750m overnight/2,250m day and rising to 2,500/3,500m.

Some precipitation may move across the region in the middle of next week – this could well fall as rain given these mild conditions.
