Summer - Spoilt for choice
Samoens is a lively place in the summer with a plethora of outdoor activities to be enjoyed when the snow melts and the weather warms up.
The River Giffre flows through Samoens and many lovely walks and cycle rides hug its banks. On your doorstep, the Giffre is also used for water based sports such as rafting, canyoning and kayaking. Besides river focused activity other options include golf, parapenting, horse riding, climbing, walking up into the mountains and mountain biking. When it's too warm to be energetic you can be lazy and take a stroll through the village, stopping off for icecream or a beer sur terrasse to watch the world go by.
Samoens also has an outdoor activity park called Indiana Park. Amongst its facilities are 6 tennis courts, archery, golf driving range, children's play area with slides, roundabouts and swings, football pitch, lakes and roller blading paths. Children will love the woodland assault course of ladders, walkways and rope slides. The village also has an indoor swimming pool.
Golf
In summer many of the winter pistes become golf courses. In Haute Savoie golfers are spoilt for choice. There are 8 courses within an hour's drive of Samoens, all enjoying spectacular settings with stunning backdrops including Mont Blanc and Lac d'Annecy which will leave a permanent imprint in your memory bank.
