Chalet Gentiane Bleue boasts a fantastic elevated position above the charming village of Samoens, with stunning views to the the surrounding peaks, waterfalls, and ski pistes. Despite this, the chalet remains just 6 minutes walk from the village centre with it’s excellent selection of local shops, bars, restaurants, butcher and boulangerie. A large supermarket is located on the edge of Samoens.

In winter, a short walk of around 6 minutes will take you to the nearest ski bus stop providing a free and regular service to the Grand Massif Express in Samoens. Guests can store ski equipment and ski boots at the bottom, or top, of the gondola via one of our recommended hire shops, making that evening stroll through town for a vin chaud a little more tempting! Alternatively, a large, car park is located directly opposite the same gondola. Samoens’ excellent new ice rink is a 6-7 minute walk from the chalet, as is the excellent weekly local market.

In summer, a walk of around 10-15 minutes will take you to numerous activities including the outdoor swimming pool, adventure parks, golf driving range, summer telecabine, tennis courts and pony rides. Numerous trails, ideal for walking and biking, litter the sun baked south side of the valley and lead almost directly back to the chalet.

Property reviews

"A lovely chalet with a spacious dining and sitting room area. We had a great holiday there!"

Philip Greenacre, Chalet Gentiane Bleue, April 2022

"Comments: walking distance to restaurants and amenities, need car or shuttle bus (400m away) to get to slopes and grocery store. Everything in the chalet worked perfectly; jacuzzi is amazing after the slopes."

N Moutaftchiyski, Chalet Gentiane Bleue, February 2022

"Chalet was fantastic and we enjoyed a really good week as a family. Plenty of space and very comfortable rooms, beds and living environment. It was a bit last minute so thank you to the team and Tony for getting things ready. We had a mixed week in terms of weather but enjoyed the Patinoire and walks in the Fer a Cheval, with two days great skiing thrown in for good measure. Hope to back another year. Thanks"

Luke Gollings, Chalet Gentiane Bleue, April 2020

"I just wanted to say a big thank you again for a wonderful stay in Samoens. This is our 3rd trip with you guys in the last 12 months and every time it has been faultless. Communication from start to finish is amazing, the accommodation never fails to impress and the meet team are always brilliant. We look forward to booking with you again in April if the snow is still there."

Harvey Family, Chalet Gentiane Bleue, February 2019

"Great experience all round, from which chalets to shortlist, response time and always good info regarding queries.  Knowledgeable staff all round. Couldn't fault the accommodation and we have booked loads of chalets before and this was the best to date - and the choice here was excellent.  Highly recommended and would use again."

Witherington Family, Chalet Gentiane Bleue, September 2017
