Alpine Summer Holidays in Samoens

Samoens offers the perfect destination for those interested in alpine summer holidays for all the family, as well as catering to dedicated sports enthusiasts. If you are bored with the standard beach holiday but still wish to enjoy some decent weather, a whole host of activities and breath-taking scenery, then Samoens is the place to come.

From May to September temperatures average between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, so you can enjoy everything from swimming in the lifeguarded mountain lakes and pools, to hiking, rafting, climbing, mountain biking, and road biking, the region offers it all. The evenings cool down nicely so sleeping in the summer chalets is never a problem too!

The leisure area has climbing walls, tennis courts, golf driving range, lakes, rafting, adventure parks, archery, fishing, playground, football pitches, horse riding, quads, swimming pools with slide and plenty of sunbathing areas, snack bars and picnic areas too, the list is endless...
