Location
Just under the hour from Geneva, Samoens and its satellite villages are set in the breathtaking surroundings of the Giffre Valley and it is here that you will find Chalet L'Oreade, located in the village of Sixt Fer a Cheval just a 10 minute drive from Samoens and the Grand Massif Express lift.
An ideal location for your ski and snowboard holiday and spring, summer and autumn walking.
The Chalet stands at about 900m (approx 3000 ft) and is situated just 50m from Beginner and Intermediate pistes, served by button and chair lifts.
The Caisse, where you can buy ski passes for the whole Grand Massif domaine, is the same distance. Adjacent is the Ski Bus Stop, a free service taking you to the Grand Massif Express lift of Samoens, which accesses the whole of the Grand Massif Ski and Snowboard Terrain(rising to 2561m).
The ski pistes at Sixt are opposite the Chalet and only a few minutes walk, providing "Ski In/Ski Out" snow permitting.
A not to be missed experience - in good conditions - is the 14kms (9 mile) run "Les Cascades" back from Flaine.
Or
During spring and summer take one of many strolls, a 5 hour walk to and from Chalet L'Oreade up to the Gers bowl.
Samoens with its weekly market and wide range of shops, restaurants and bars is a 10 minute drive away by the Chalet VW multi-seater during the ski season.
