One of the loveliest villages in the French Alps, Samoens is the only one to be listed as a "Monument Historique". Originally famous for its craftsmen in stone, Samoens' reputation brings thousands of visitors each summer - including many on day excursions. As with most Alpine centres, Samoens has made great efforts to provide a perfect base to enjoy this beautiful area. There are 900km of well signed hiking trails and 600km of mountain bike routes plus the familiar sports of fishing, horse riding and golf (at Les Gets). The Giffre river offers canoeing, rafting and jet skiing. More adventurous pursuits include rock climbing, potholing and paragliding. Samoens has its own outdoor pool and adventure park nearby.

Chalet Olga is available to let all year round. The chalet sleeps between 8 and 12, in four bedrooms all with ensuite facilities. Bunk beds for children are located on the upper landing and cots are available on request. One of the bedrooms can sleep 4 as a family room. There is a very spacious lounge with a french log fire, underfloor heating, satellite television, DVD and video. Books games and toys are also provided. A new swimming pool is due for completion in April 2006. There is a utility room and ski cellar and a south facing balcony with stunning views.

The owners take great pride in their hospitality and, living alongside, are available to offer information and advice at all reasonable hours. Fresh bread and croissants are provided daily and free transport to the village/skilift is supplied to guests without their own vehicles. Transport to and from Geneva airport (1 hour) can be arranged at a supplementary charge. For comprehensive details of our accommodation, we invite you to visit our website www.alpskiing.com
