Samoens Ski Holiday Resort
Overview
Offslope/apres ski
The apres ski is much better than most assume with a choice of over 15 bars in the resort centre. It’s not a place for nightclubs but for authentic bars it’s really great. Bar Le Kern, by the main gondola is the apres ski from late afternoon to early evening. spot Lots of off-slope activities including skating, ice hockey matches, snowmobiling, parapenting, botanical gardens, weekly farmers market, hiking, walking, shoeshoeing, driving experiences and much more.
