French Alps Village Of Samoëns 1600

Dutchman and I visited the alpine village of Samoëns from our basecamp in Flaine. The village is a part of the Grand Massif ski hotel, that's through the way a first-rate vicinity for Nordic walking at some stage in summer season.

We just checked the webcam of Grand Massif and although the snowboarding season is over, it nonetheless may be very tons white inside the Alps. The snow has no longer melted but. However, you can handiest ski on top of the mountains, above the tree line. I wager it’s especially the locals and the hardcore skiers and snowboarders who try this now.

I truly needed we've visited the main historic Samoëns village but it'll take us a while to get right down to the valley and I didn’t like speeding things. I need to take it gradual and spend some time cafe terracing and enjoying my surroundings. We additionally need sufficient time to get again up the mountain and take a series of connecting lifts and skiing in between to Flaine with the aid of 15:00, otherwise we will be caught right here which is not an excellent aspect. This normally method doling out cash for a totally luxurious cab journey lower back to Flaine. So having stated that, we have determined to live in Samoëns 1600, the top Samoens village.

The slopes from Flaine to right here had been very quality, huge and huge. The alpine perspectives were also lovely. Although there had been a few elements along the way that were particularly icy, as they were shadowed by using the mountains. I hate icy slopes. I tend to lose my confidence when I feel the icy scratch below my skis.

We also noticed a rescue helicopter airlifting someone injured right here in Samoëns 1600. This isn't the primary time we have seen such occasion. I had to remind myself and the Dutchman that wintersport is a volatile recreation so we want to rent protection precaution. Which is why I do no longer like going all through top season while it's far madly crowded on the slopes and also you really have greater probabilities of crashing into a person.

Here are some of the snap shots we took of Samoëns 1600.

We stopped here as properly for a quick relaxation and drink before achieving Samoens 1600 =)

Beautiful mountains. Unfortunately I can not ID them however we had been within the Chamonix and Mont Blanc place. In fact the Grand Massif is facing Mont Blanc.

Another selfie!!!

This is a ski class. They had been practising getting down a steep slope.

A draglift, I do now not like them in any respect. We name them sleeplift or pannenkoeklift.

Can you spot the slopes?

A halfway residence that's a restaurant and eating place.

This Chariade carry in Samoens 1600 lift will bring best midway up in the slopes. You might need to take some more connecting lifts to attain the summit.
