Samoens is an adventure sports paradise in and around a beautiful heritage village. Summer in the Alps is fabulous with something for everyone. We support the local community by working with the best guides in the area. We don’t charge any mark up or commission and will help you design your ideal week. We encourage guests to share guides and if there is not a big enough group to make a guide affordable we call around to see if you can join another group. Guests can often join our friend and guide Gustav for a full day group hike for €30 from 9-5pm.
Here is a little example of some of your options and the prices.
