Cross Country Skiing in the Giffre Valley

Cross country skiing in the heart of the Giffre Valley, from Samoens to Sixt Fer à Cheval.

Cross country skiing is a more gentle way to discover nature in the mountains. The site in the valley, on the banks of the Giffre, offers 46 km of tracks that are also suitable for skating. The Haut Giffre circuits are very popular with cross country skiers. Blending perfectly into the landscape, the tracks in the Glière sector (2 km) and the Salvagny sector (5 km) are suitable for beginners, while the Fer à Cheval (16 km), Molliet (9 km) circuits and the return to Samoens (10 km) will appeal to more experienced skiers.
