Family Holidays in Samoens

Samoens and the area are fantastic for children of all ages.  In the centre of Samoens is a newly built Kindergarten which accepts children from the age of 3 months to 6 years and is open all year.  In winter, children from 3 years can join the “Piou Piou or Kindergarden at Samoens 1600”. This is a designated fun area created for your child’s first holiday on skis, allowing them to learn the basics in preparation for ski school. Children are also accepted into the standard French ski school ESF in Samoens from 3 1/2 years.  Booking is recommended particularly during February and details can be found on our winter page.   It is also possible for the children to have half a day in the Kindergarten and half a day in Jardin des Neiges, where they will also provide them with lunch.
