Resort information Samoëns

Ski hire Samoëns - Samoëns is one of five resorts in the grand Massif lift-linked circuit of more than 265 kms of ski runs. It was formerly linked to the circuit a few miles from the village so a ski bus trip was needed to reach the slopes, but now a gondola, the Grand Massif Express, lifts skiers from the village centre up to a key plateau on the circuit, 1600m up, in just eight minutes. Runs to try include the Piste des Cascades which from Samoëns 1600 you need to go to Flaine and take the Grandes Platières cable car. The 14km long, blue rated wonderful Cascades run descends to the resort of Sixt Fer à Cheval. Expert skiers looking for tough skiing take the same lifts but head for the Combe de Gers sector and a black slope called Styx which is never bashed. This rejoins the long Cascades run at its end. Closer to home the Croix area at Samoëns 1600 has the black slopes Marmotte and Chamois, both really enjoyable runs with jumps and ramps at the end of the slopes. One of the best known areas is the Combe de Gers reached from Samoëns 1600 by heading up to Flaine and then taking the Grandes Platières cable car over to Combe de Gers. Here a black slope called Styx is never crowded. This can take you over to join the Piste des Cascades or take a lift back to Flaine. There are three snowparks in the Grand Massif region. Above Morillon the park is especially for children, above Samoëns on the Soleil slope there's a park for all levels of ability, whilst -Flaine's The Jam Park in the Vernant area contains a Boarder Cross and other features. The snowpark's construction depends on snow conditions and its location is changed accordingly on occasion. It is aimed at experienced freeskiers and boarders. Tip: Using SNOWELL you can rent your skis and snowboards online in advance in Samoëns and save money at the same time. At the time of your arrival you can pick up your booked rental equipment directly at the co-operating ski hire shop directly in Samoëns. An extremely practical but also economical solution for your ski hire in Samoëns.
