Samoens, located in the Giffre Valley and one of the five ski resorts in Grand Massif, is considered one of the best areas for skiing in France. The picturesque domain has 165 miles of pistes, and you’ll also have easy access to the other resorts and slopes in the area. Samoens, though, is certainly the most charming and traditional of the bunch, with the type of character you’d expect from an alpine village in France. This area of the French Alps isn’t short on breathtaking scenery thanks to the seven surrounding mountains provide a stunning backdrop.
Property in the top ski resorts of the French Alps is always in high demand, attracting skiers and snowboarders as well as those seeking a fun and exciting après-ski scene. Overseas property buyers will find a varied selection of different types of properties for sale in Samoens. All of which are ideal for families and those who love spending time outdoors. Not only are the French Alps beautiful and enchanting during the winter and holiday season, but there’s also plenty to do when the weather warms up.
You’ll notice that much of the architecture in Samoens is made from stone, which is right out of the pages of its history book – in the 17th century, renowned stonecutters were given the job of building many of the structures in Samoens. This means that property for sale in Samoens is just as charming as the resort itself, with many of the properties including luxury amenities like fireplaces, underfloor heating and large sunny terraces with room for dining. You’re also guaranteed to get a mountain view from your new home. If you want something that’s easy to take care of and lock up when you’re out of town, look for a chic apartment. Or, you can find a ski chalet for sale with ski-in/ski-out access to put you right on the slopes first thing in the morning.
Samoens offers charming village life year-round, and summertime activities including biking, canoeing, fishing, golfing, hiking, rock climbing and whitewater rafting.

For a taste of days gone by, there are numerous chapels to visit, as well as farms that offer tours and tastings. Wherever you go, don’t leave your camera at home – you’ll want to capture the lovely flora and fauna of the stunning landscapes as you explore.
If you plan to rent out your property for part of the year, you’ll want to find a home that’s close to the village centre as the proximity to local shops and amenities is important to travelers. On the other hand, if you plan to make your new Samoens property your full-time home, look at properties that are a bit removed from the resort centre – you’ll find grander homes further away.
