Summer in Samoens

The end of a perfect Alpine winter has been greeted by the dawn of an idyllic and vibrant summer season in Samoens, offering summer activities for the whole family from relaxing walks to white-water rafting.

As the alpine poppy buds are bursting to bloom in the Le Jaysinia Alpine Botanical gardens, the plethora of hot air balloons and paragliders can already be spotted jewelling the clear blue skies across 1600 summit, competing only with the birdlife that have returned once more to these warmer climates.

The cascades of waterfalls at Sixt come to life and provide amazing scenic exploration. Golfers can enjoy days putting over the lake in Morillon. You can relax whilst indulging in trout fishing along Giffre River or enjoy white-water rafting for those adrenalin junkies among you.

The winding alpine routes across the Giffre Valley are now an ideal terrain for cycling, or hiking/mountaineering and climbing or Via Ferrata. You can try potholing in the crevasses of the nearby Criou mountains, tree-hopping in the Indiana Adventure Park, or simply enjoy scenic drives to absorb the beautiful landscape, including the spectacular Mont Blanc range.

After enjoying the summer activities, the Samoens experience is made complete by the vibe in the rustic village with locals and holidaymakers strolling around the village square, catching up with the day's events, perusing the local food and craft market, relaxing in the bars, shops and restaurants, indulging in local Haute-Savoie cuisine or having a relaxing massage in comfortable surroundings.

From July-August 2012 there are a number of free festivals and shows including the Lake Festival over Lac aux Dames on 4th August, a celebration of local folklore through traditional games and fireworks, La Rioule, on 20th August, a number of free shows by the Summer Opera Activity and even a chance to enjoy country and western music and line dancing at the Samoens American Festival from 8-10th July. Whatever floats your boat, family-friendly Samoens has it all.

Samoens prides itself on offering a range of summer activities for children of all ages. Check out the Buqa link “children’s activities” for more information.
