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 02/05

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.

Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions

Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
