Ski Resort and Chalet Location

Ski Chalet Chalet Myrtle is in Samoens, France

Escape with us and discover one of the most incredible areas in the French Alps. Samoens with all it's tradition and culture, is located in the Vallée du Giffre, only 1 hours drive from Geneva International Airport. Getting here is simple, whether you are driving, flying or taking trains. There are many low cost flights from all over Europe, making this a very attractive destination for your summer or ski holidays. Once you get here you begin to relax and ease into the wonderful pace of life, breathing the fresh mountain air and appreciating the charm of the village and its people.

One of the most beautiful villages in France

The village carries the designation of a "ville fleurie" distinguishing it as one of the most beautiful villages in France and is also the only winter sports resort to be classified by the Caisse Nationale des Monuments Historiques, as it dates from the middle ages.

Where exactly is Samoens?

The village of Samoëns is located in the Vallée du Giffre in the Rhone Alps region, part of the Haute Savoie department. The village itself is at 700m, although its gondola takes you to 1600m to the ski slopes.

At the heart of the village

The heart of the village remains the lively meeting place of local life and is known by the locals as the Gros Tilleul, deriving its name from the "Large Lime Tree" which symbolises the town of Samoens. This tree was planted in 1438 to celebrate a ruling handed down by Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy, stating that the inhabitants of Samoens owned the Frétérolle, Chardonnière, Vigny and Cuidex alpine meadows in the neighbouring Manche valley. The "Gros Tilleul" is quite remarkable for its age and its size. This famous landmark has been immortalised by numerous local authors, poets and musicians through the ages.

The Botanical gardens

Well worth a visit is The Botanical Garden and house, The Cognacq-Jay Foundation. The garden was created in 1906, sculpted into an area of 3.5 hectares overlooking the village. There you will find the Ruins of the Tornalta castle (12th century), the chapel (18th century) together with 8,000 plants from the mountains of the world - all amongst rocky outcrops and waterfalls.

Enjoy a traditional French Market

Wednesdays are market days in Samoens, where the entire area opposite the Tourist Office turns into a wonderful array of fresh produce to ceramics. A great place to spend a few hours with locals, shopping for French cheeses, local sausage and fresh vegetables and fruit.

The Giffre River

The Giffre is a typical mountain river that flows through Samoens and is ideal for all types of water sports and activities. For white water rafting, kayaking and hydrospeed, there's no better spot. But the Giffre does not stop there; it feeds into the two lakes in the leisure park, a vast, tranquil place where you can fish for trout, try out the golf pratice tee over water or discover the challenging aerial assault course.

The Cascade du Rouget

Also known as the "Queen of the Alps", the Cascade du Rouget is the most impressive of the waterfalls around Sixt. The two sections form a total height of over eighty metres. It can be reached very easily by car, as it is just 6 kms from the village, beyond the Salvagny hamlet (season: spring, summer, autumn). In winter, the road is closed beyond Salvagny, so access is only possible on foot or on snowshoes. Footpath, 1 hour for the round trip. Altitude: 1,000 m.

Taste and discover the wines and liquors of the Savoy region...

Every week, Jean-Claude Bellbarbe invites you to taste the "Pères Chartreux" liquors, including the famous green chartreuse and his extensive range of fruit and Genepy liquors. You will also have an opportunity to discuss local wine-growing, the methods used and the selection of vine varieties. The ideal opportunity to talk about wine with someone who really cares.

Chapels galore

There are no less than nine chapels in and around Samoëns, not counting the many shrines and other cultural buildings visible in a landscape dotted with hamlets. Most of them were built in the 17th century. In Mathonex, the chapel looks down over the village like a lighthouse warning sailors of the dangers of the coastline but the original building was much closer to the centre of the village. Its "relocation" became a necessity after a landslide. Visit the chapels with a guided tour, information from the tourist office.

Samoens is part of the Grand Massif ski area

Samoens forms part of the larger five village area called the Grand Massif which includes Flaine, Les Carroz, Sixt and Morillon.It is a popular summer destination, as well as the site of a great ski resort which is linked to the expansive Grand Massif ski domain.

If you enjoy a picnic in the snow, overlooking the incredible Mont Blanc, then the top of Flaine is the place for you.
