Where to practice an individual sport Samoëns

Stretch your legs and enjoy the view without too much effort. La Bourgeoise, the summit above Samoëns, is a family-friendly walk offering an exceptional 360° panorama. From the Col de Joux Plane, where the surrounding peaks are reflected in its lake and the view is already magical, follow a signposted path to the Chalets de Mapellet to reach the summit. Up there, the entire Giffre valley and its mountains come into view. Le Criou, Pointe Rousse, Tête de Bostant... A trail that can also be explored on snowshoes in winter.

In the heart of the Giffre Valley, starting from the typical village of Samoëns, come and exceed your limits and face the sublime summits of the Haut-Giffre. The UTHG is the sporting event of the year not to be missed in the valley. If the ultra-trail is primarily aimed at great sportsmen with a good experience of the mountain (here, 127 km and 9 150 m of difference in altitude), the UTHG is also open to beginners with a 9 km course, allowing to discover the activity and its exceptional atmosphere.
