From the newly-launched e-fat bike to dog-sledding to ice climbing, Samoens offers a flurry of wintry thrills for the whole family within a charming environment.
Discover The E-Fat Bike
This year sees the arrival of the e-fat bike in Samoens. For a super cycle, these mountain bikes are fitted with extra wide tires that enable snow bunnies to make tracks through the alps, without getting stuck in the powder. Supervised sessions with a Moniteur Cycliste Français instructor are now available to book from €39 per person, with children from the age of six onwards being invited to join. Thrill-seekers can choose from a two-hour Discover ride; a half day ride including lunch; or even a night time ride under the stars, which also includes a tasting of delicious local products.
