À Samoëns, Spring is not the end of the season... but rather its peak. With snow still high up in the mountains, sunny days and attractive offers, the Grand Massif resort is the ideal destination for enjoying the last few runs in a gentler, more festive atmosphere.
As the winter holidays draw to a close, the face of the mountains is changing. The slopes breathe, the terraces fill up and skiing takes on a new lease of life. In Samoëns, this special time of year takes on a whole new meaning.
Contrary to popular belief, spring skiing is not synonymous with the end of the road. Quite the opposite, in fact. With a ski area peaking at between 1,600 and 2,500 metres, the Grand Massif guarantees solid snow cover right through to mid-April.
Offers designed to extend the season
In the morning, conditions remain ideal for a series of runs on still-firm snow. In the afternoon, it's time for a softer, almost playful ride in the generous sunshine.
And between runs, it's hard to resist the call of the terraces, facing the still-white peaks. In Samoëns, skiing is experienced in a different way, with less emphasis on performance and more on enjoyment.
To support this period, the resort is offering attractive packages, designed for both short breaks and family holidays.
Offers combining accommodation and packages make it possible to treat yourself to a last-minute getaway at a controlled price. For a few nights or a week, the packages include access to the Grand Massif ski area, with extra benefits for families.
A powerful argument at a time when prices are becoming much more affordable than in high season, without compromising on ski quality.
A village resort that cultivates the art of living
But there's more to Samoëns than its slopes. A village resort par excellence, Samoëns also appeals for its authenticity and atmosphere.
Once you've put your skis away, it's time for a change of pace. Stroll through the narrow streets of the centre, push open the door of an artisanal shop, dine on Savoyard specialities... or simply enjoy a concert or some entertainment at the end of the day.
Spring makes this contrast even greater: with snow at altitude and the first signs of renewal in the village, Samoëns offers a complete experience, both sporting and contemplative.
The resort is bringing the end of winter to a close with a number of festive events. On 21 March, the «Ça joue plage pour moi» day sets the tone with outdoor activities and a friendly atmosphere.
At the beginning of April, the skies over Samoëns are filled with colourful sails for the Test'ival Paragliding Festival, a spectacular event that attracts lovers and enthusiasts of outdoor sports.
So many opportunities to extend your days beyond the slopes and experience the mountains in all their diversity.
