Property reviews

“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 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]."
