"The 2 chalets gave us 15 people a pleasant stay. The facilities were of a high standard and the living areas very functional. Jackie and David's service was exceptional; they were always available and took great care of us. Everything was perfect, very professional and in line with expectations. We will definitely be back."
Nagly, Les Falconnieres and Lou Cardinales, March 2025
"Loved the Chalet. Well equipped, plenty of space for family with 3 teenagers and great place to hang out in the evening. Closer to town than looked on the map! Photos can’t do justice to the views from the balcony. We’ll be back if we can! Alps Accommodation were really helpful for check in on our first day."
Whelton, Chalet Falconnieres, February 2025
"We had a fantastic week staying in the 3 apartments. Very comfortable, cozy and good facilities. We will all miss this fabulous view. Great skiing for newbies and experienced ones. Recommend Marvel run to Morillon for an easy run and heading over to Flaine for impressive views and runs. Thanks so much!"
Franks, Falconnieres and Lou Cardinales, February 2025
"The property was really well presented and clean. The welcome basket was fantastic as we arrived late, so being able to make a coffee and have some chocolate was appreciated. Jackie was available and very helpful. I will definitely use Alps accommodation in the future and will have no issue in recommending them as a top tier partner."
Swan, Les Falconnaires, January 2025
"Chalet Falconnieres offered our family an amazing stay. The chalet is very large, well-equipped and cosy for a winter stay. Large enough for 6 adults and 2 kids. We already visted Samoens many years ago, but we have discovered here probably one of the best views over Samoens. Even if it is not located in the village, the walk to the centre was easy even with a folding stroller, also the use of the shuttle bus on the way back is always possible. Thank you to Jackie and David who took care of us. Great place to be. Wonderful Xmas stay, Santa Claus came on time down the chimney... Thank you Alps Accommodation and to the owner for this superb stay."
Excler, Chalet Falconnieres, Christmas 2024
“We have had a fantastic holiday here in Samoens in this fabulous apartment - so comfortable and with spectacular views! We are a family of 4 and our highlights were la bourgeoise, la gorge des tines, and le bout de monde for beautiful walks with more incredible views. Our favourite place to eat was La Reposette in Vercland. We hope to come back next year!”
Watts, Chalet Falconnieres, August 2024
"The chalet exceeded all expectations with such phenomenal views that we'd never tire of. - we have had an incredible week in Samoens - running and cycling along the river - swimming in the lake here and Morillon - hiking locally and enjoying a few nights out in the village - live music and pétanque at the Big Bear Lounge. Canyoning was an incredible family adventure! Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home! The booking, information, support and service was also exceptional."
The Barton Family, Chalet Falconnieres, July/August 2024
"The chalet is beautiful and just as described on Alps Accommodation. It is our first visit to Samoens in the Summer but we have skied in the Winter. The views from the chalet are amazing and well worth the short walk back from the village. We had a fantastic time parapenting, visiting and walking around. We took the cable car to Samoens 1600 and then the Chariande Express where the views were out of this world, followed by a lovely walk back down to Morillon. We visited and walked the Col de Joux Plane, with a walk to the refuge. Thank you to Jackie and David (the chalet managers).”
Rookes Family, Chalet Falconnieres, July 2024
"The chalet is beautiful and just as described on Alps Accommodation. It is our first visit to Samoens in the Summer, having skied in the winter. The views are amazing and well worth the small walk back from the village. We had a fantastic time parapenting, visiting and walking around Cirque du Fer a Cheval. The waterfalls were stunning. We took the cable car to Samoens 1600 and then the Chariande Express where the views are out of this world, followed by a lovely walk back down to Morillon. We visited and walked Col de Joux Plane with a walk to the refuge. Thank you to Jackie and David [the chalet managers]."

“I was treated to this chalet for a milestone birthday so it will always hold happy memories. We enjoyed waking up to the view every morning especially when the sun was shining! So quiet at night and peaceful during the day with the birds singing. Thank you!”
Bray, Chalet Falconnières, March 2024
"Chalet Falconnières never disappoints…..especially the view! See you next year!"
The Thomas-Bakers, Chalet Falconnières, March 2024
"We had a fantastic stay for the second year running and will be booking for 2025. Very clean and warm residence and the welcome pack is a lovely touch. We have stayed in Samoens for the last 8 years and Chalet Falconnieres is by far our favourite due to location, views and is large enough and very well equipped to suit our needs.....see you next year!"

Saville, Chalet Falconnieres, January 2023
"Just one word; wow! This is the first time ever that we have holidayed self-catering, and the photos on the booking website haven't done justice to the superb high standard of the accommodation (how could they!). We were blown away by the beautiful furnishings, and the obvious attention to detail to welcome guests, to make their stay special. Meghan from Piste Out was brill when I contacted her to discuss a couple of minor issues that were encountered.We loved every second of our stay at Chalet Falconnieres and will definitely be back one day. Thanks also for all your help with what seemed like a thousand questions asked by me during the booking process. Loved Samoens, loved Chalet Falconnieres and loved Alps Accommodation."
