Walks in the mountain using the skilifts to Samoëns 1600

Description

Thanks to the opening of skilifts this summer, you can go walking with your family and discover some different, breathtaking panoramic views with any strenuous effort beforehand.

When you want a chance to relax and get close to nature, take advantage of the skilifts and enjoy some easy walking in stunning scenery. Regain your sense of well-being in the serenity and peace of higher altitudes as you walk through alpine pastures and along the shores of lakes. In fact, why not do a spot of fishing while you're there?
Looking for ideas for easy walks in constantly-changing scenery? Leaving Samoëns behind, you can get a wonderful view of Mont-Blanc from the Tête des Saix. From there, head for La Combe de Gers with its lake and gîte-cum-restaurant, then return to Samoëns or Sixt Fer-à-Cheval.

Gers Lake

The Combe de Gers, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it's quite a poem, an ode to beauty, an invitation to reverie on the shores of its lake perched at an altitude of 1,540 meters in the heights. from Samoëns.If it is in the snow that the footprints of the chamois can be read, it is in the foundations of the alpine chalets and the Gîte de Gers that the history of the men who built the coomb can be deciphered. In particular, Marcel and Jean-Maurice Cottet have largely contributed to make it a haven of peace in all seasons, a white paradise in winter, accessible to all, on foot, on skis, on cross-country skis, on snow scooters or by helicopter. All nature lovers like to meet there to share moments of pleasure, for example around a hot chocolate served on the terrace of the unique gîte-restaurant. Wild, picturesque and authentic, the Combe de Gers has remained so. Only a few private chalets, the mountain farm and the gîte-restaurant blend harmoniously into this mountain and lake setting in the heart of a nature reserve. To get there, there are various options for snow sports enthusiasts: from dawn, as the mountain turns white, free riders and free stylers take to the "fresh" powder and ski pros descend from the black piste of Les Grandes Platières and, a little later in the morning, fans of ski touring or leisure snowshoeing venture at their own pace along the long piste of Les Cascades which links Flaine to Sixt. From December, at dawn, when the Combe de Gers will be whitewashed, you will come, nature will be waiting for you, more authentic than ever. From April, at dawn, when the Combe de Gers turns green, you will come, nature will be waiting for you, more authentic than ever...
