At the heart of the Grand-Massif, Samoëns offers a wide range of activities and adventures until April. The milder weather conditions at this time of year are an invitation to enjoy good times both on the slopes and on the terrace. As the days get longer, visitors can extend their enjoyment of the mountains, giving them more time to take part in the activities. From March onwards, the village, named the most beautiful in Haute-Savoie in 2021, also becomes more affordable and less crowded, making it the perfect destination for mountain enthusiasts looking to extend their winter season with a host of activities on offer.
