At an altitude of 1,600 metres, the 265 kilometres of pistes laid out before you form one of the most beautiful and largest skiing and snowboarding areas anywhere, set in the heart of a grandiose panoramic view topped by Mont-Blanc.

What’s more, there’s something for everybody! There are numerous green and blue runs for beginners, and black runs and dizzying combs for the most demanding. There are simple pleasures and adrenalin-pumping thrills for the whole family in this white-clad paradise accessible to all. Samoëns fully deserves its title of “The family mountain with a whole lot more”.


"From the village, you can access the Grand Massif ski slopes effortlessly and in record time thanks to the 8-seater Grand Massif Express cable car"

With their 265 km of pistes and their 5 interlinked resorts (Morillon, Samoëns, Les Carroz, Sixt Fer à Cheval and Flaine), the Grand Massif ski slopes are currently considered as one of the largest, finest domains in France. For a long time, they were used as a training ground by Antoine Deneriaz, a native of Morillon who won the gold medal in the downhill event at the Turin Winter Olympics on 12 February 2006.

Thanks to its geographical location, the Grand Massif enjoys abundant, regular snowfalls throughout the season, and the area is well known for the quality of the snow in spring. Of course, 80 % of the slopes are north-facing, allowing the snow to lie for longer and remain in good condition.
