About the host
Hosted by Jayne Walpole
We first visited Samoens in 2006 and loved it so much we bought our chalet here. We live in the UK and have been coming here ever since at all times of the year.
Our family love it, both in winter for the skiing, ice skating and sledging, in summer for the outdoor pool, lakes, adventure parks, rafting, hiking and climbing mountain and road biking. Walking in the spring and autumn is particularly beautiful – from alpine meadows to autumn colour.
We welcome you to stay in our lovely chalet.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the wonderful alpine village centre with its traditional shops, bars and restaurants. We are proud of our chalet, the original Fromagerie or ‘Fruiterie’ as it would have been known in Samoens, dating back to 1888, and were delighted when we found it featured in the Where to Ski and Snowboard 2013 Guide, quoted as ‘cosy well restored traditional'. We never want to go back to the UK at the end of our visits, but it gives us a lot of pleasure when so many guests have also thoroughly enjoyed staying at the chalet.
What makes this property unique
The history of the chalet makes it feel special and everyone in Samoens knows the Ancienne Fromagerie or 'Fruiterie', the adjacent road has been named after it.
Location - just walking out of door and within minutes be in the historic and lovely centre of Samoens, to its many bars and restaurants, supermarkets, wide variety of specialist food shops and the ski bus stop without using a car.
The botanical gardens is a favourite, with a walk along the river and around the lakes, or exploring further up the surrounding mountains.
