Access

ACCESS TO THE SKI SLOPES

samoens_grand_massif_express
The Grand Massif ski slopes are accessible from the town centre in 8 minutes via the "Grand Massif Express" gondola lift, which was opened in December 2003, from the Vercland hamlet, located 3 km from the town, via the "TC-4" gondola lift, or via the D254 main road (a 15-minute drive from the town centre).

Free shuttle buses run between most of the accommodation in Samoëns and the ski lifts.
There are big car parks for visitors at each departure point for the ski slopes.

Attention : the "Grand Massif Express" car park is not accessible for vehicles over 2.40 m in height. Take care if your skis are stored vertically on your vehicle.

Camper vans can park at the Samoëns camp site or at the car park for the "TC-4" gondola lift at Vercland hamlet (Flot Bleu service point).


La Char car park

This 60-place car park is located in Samoens at the bottom of the La Char slope. Ideal for visitors who already have their ski pass, since this car park avoids the queues for the Grand Massif Express or the Vercland TC4 in the high season.
