Renting a snowboard in Samoens is the ideal way to enjoy the Grand Massif without the hassle. From the authentic village to the summit of the Grandes Platières, panoramic views of Mont-Blanc and long, varied runs make you want to ride all day long. Whether you're a beginner, a carving enthusiast or a freeride addict, there's something for everyone, from the wide boulevards of Morillon to the forest lines of Les Carroz and the steeper slopes on the Flaine side.

As far as the weather is concerned, the most reliable period is from December to the end of March. January and February offer cold, dry snow, perfect in the morning, while March offers milder days with snow that is often better in the late morning and softer in the afternoon. After a fall, leave early: north-facing and higher-altitude areas retain the best coat. On a white day, the forests protect visibility.
