8Samoëns – A Hidden Gem in the Alps

For a more traditional alpine experience, Samoëns is a lesser-known but equally charming alternative to big-name resorts. This historic village is known for its well-preserved stone architecture, lively market square, and surrounding lush landscapes. In winter, it provides access to the Grand Massif ski area, while summer visitors can enjoy hiking, cycling, and exploring the botanical gardens of La Jaÿsinia.
