SKIING THE GRAND MASSIF

 

La vieille Ferme is in the rural hamlet of Vallon d’en haut and benefits enormously from being a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Samoëns, the Grand Massif ski area and Geneva.

Every Alpine activity is available in our area: Downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, sledging, dog sledding, ski parapenting. Many people drive to us and choose to have the flexibility of driving each morning the 5 mins. to the new telecabine, the Grand Massif Express. Once you have bought your ski pass others use the ski bus which regularly stops 50 metres away from La vieille Ferme for the 5 min. trip to the lift or into town. For those not with us to downhill ski you can snow shoe from the front door or choose one of the many nearby cross country routes that are available .

The Grand Massif Ski Area

260 km of pistes link the five resorts of the Grand Massif (Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, Flaine, Les Carroz d'Arâches, Morillon and Samoëns). There are 75 ski lifts, 3 different types of Jampark, descents of varying difficulty, entertainment on a regular basis, a variety of en piste restaurants.

The Grand Massif Express is 5 mins from La vieille Ferme and Samoëns 1600 is 8 minutes away by The Grand Massif Express so once there the Alps open up offering miles of skiing, both off-piste and on-piste, right through to the well known resort of Flaine.
