Nestling in the heart of the Grand Massif, Samoëns is as attractive for its slopes as it is for its village charm. This winter, three addresses with contrasting atmospheres are opening their doors to travellers in search of authenticity, comfort or exception.
La Ferme d'En Bas: Savoyard charm and conviviality
Just a stone's throw from the cross-country ski runs, Véronique and André welcome their guests to a lovingly renovated former farmhouse. The four cosy bedrooms, dressed in old wood, invite you to spend a cosy night.
At breakfast, organic bread, homemade yoghurt and freshly baked pastries set the tone: everything here exudes refined simplicity. Three evenings a week, the table d'hôtes brings guests together around a log fire to enjoy homemade dishes. As a bonus, there's an outdoor jacuzzi on the terrace and direct access to the ski bus for the Grand Massif ski areas.
Les Suites d'Alexane: the art of the inner journey
For those who love space and modern comfort, the Suites d'Alexane offer a journey through the arts and traditions of the world's mountains. Each room or suite is spacious and contemporary, immersing its occupants in a unique atmosphere.
On the ground floor, live jazz and blues concerts enliven the Piano Bar, while the wellness area offers a swimming pool, sauna, hammam and made-to-measure treatments. For families, a private cinema and children's areas complete this upmarket experience.
L'Hermine Chalet & Spa: luxury at its best
In the hamlet of Vercland, at the foot of the cable car, l'Hermine is the epitome of refinement. This exceptional chalet, designed by Haute-Savoie interior designer Angélique Buisson, combines authenticity and modernity in a luminous setting.
Five master suites, an 80 m² living room, an outdoor spa and a heated indoor pool make for a truly exclusive experience. When it comes to facilities, nothing is left to chance: fitness room, wine cellar, home cinema, electric charging point, and panoramic terraces offering magnificent views of the Criou and the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval.
