There is also a new nursery (telephone nmber 0033 450 34 13 96). The staff speak English. Pre-booking is recommended.

Samoens offers everything from walking to mountain climbing. Miles of trails. Climb Mont Blanc, too! Mountain-biking, canyoning, caving, canoeing and white water rafting are also offered. In addition, there is tennis, horse-riding, outdoor swimming pools, archery and jetskiing.
