Samoëns - Apartment

La Ferme is a luxurious chalet apartment, offering guests 100m2 of beautifully renovated, farmhouse living. This typically Savoyard, yet stylishly chic 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment sleeps up to 7 guests in comfort. Situated in the beautiful and quiet hamlet of Vercland, just 4 minutes’ walk from the Vercland telecabine and hamlet where you'll find a bar and 2 restaurants, or 2 minutes drive to the centre of Samoens. The local telecabine, chosen by many locals for its' limited queues, takes you directly to Samoens 1600, ensuring instant access to the Grand Massif ski area. Depending on conditions you can ski the red run down to within 400m of the chalet. This run has been improved with the addition of plenty of new snow cannons. Please note that the Vercland ski lift is subject to a closure date one week prior to the Samoens ski lifts, with a replacement ski bus service in place to the Samoens telecabine. During summer it is possible to walk to and from Samoens following a stunning trail taking approximately 25 minutes.

At the other end of this luxurious space is the superbly equipped kitchen and open-plan dining area. The clean, white wall with its exposed stone, and three large kitchen windows looking out onto the fields and mountain behind the farmhouse, make for a bright and luminous space to enjoy your meals together. There is a large, wooden dining table with ample seating for 7 plus an additional breakfast bar with seating for two.
