Lacs aux Dames in Samoëns

The Lacs aux Dames in Samoëns are charming lakes nestled at the foot of the Criou mountain. Surrounded by lawns, flowerbeds and a breathtaking view of the peaks.Located just a few minutes' walk from the center of Samoëns, Lac aux Dames offers a gentle, natural setting. Surrounded by lush greenery and dominated by the peaks of the Haut-Giffre, it is distinguished by the purity of its waters and the calm that reigns. Its banks are home to a variety of flora that, with the passing seasons, colors the landscape with changing hues: spring's soft green, summer's bursts of flowers, autumn's golden reflections. The tranquil waters are home to ducks, fish and dragonflies, creating a lively, soothing backdrop. Accessible in all seasons, the lake lends itself to both family walks and moments of solitary contemplation. At dawn, mist sometimes floats to the surface, while at dusk the mountains are reflected in a golden light. In winter, the snow that lines its shores transforms the place into a still postcard. Lac aux Dames is not just a watering hole, it's a place where the harmony between nature and mountains can be fully felt. Whether you come here to walk, observe, draw or simply breathe, it remains a must-see for those seeking to capture the peaceful soul of Samoëns. Around these lakes, you can discover: the Base de loisirs des Lacs aux Dames, in Samoëns, a 10-hectare park laid out around the two lakes, just 1.5 km from the village center. The site, accessible on foot or by car, offers swimming (in summer), fishing, a playground, sports fields, bars and restaurants, an adventure course, a skate park, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis, water golf, paragliding, hiking and mountain biking. In summer, swimming is open from July 6 to September 1, from noon to 6 pm. .
