How to get to Samoens: by car, by air and parking

Samoens sits in Haute-Savoie (Grand Massif), France, at 720–2480 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.

Getting to Samoens by car

With 720–2480 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.

Getting to Samoens by air

Look for flights into the international airport closest to Haute-Savoie (Grand Massif), France, then a transfer or rental car to the resort.

Parking in Samoens

Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
