Samoens is stunning in the winter. It is one of the few ski resorts that is heritage village. The scenery is open with the high mountains in the distance so there is a refreshing sense of space. Most people come here in the winter to ski. We work with Zig Zag and the ESF who offer group and private lessons. We also encourage trying some more ‘out of the box’ winter activities! Hiring a guide or instructor on your own is expensive, so we try to bring guests together with similar interests and ski levels. Here are some of the options on offer and an idea of the top prices:
