Apartment Pomme Guests - UK & Switzerland

Hi Carla and Rob

Just a note to say a big thank you for organising our Easter break with friends. The forecasted rain never arrived and we all had a fantastic time, skiing and apres skiing in the bright Samoens sunshine. We really appreciated your advice and assistance on everything from arranging ski-hire and lessons to booking an excellent selection of local restaurants - La Tournalta was a fabulous little place and the energetic and highly efficient waiter had us in stitches!. Apartment Pomme was great (not really like an apartment, more of a chalet town house) and so convenient for the town and lifts. Thank you once again, we would have no hesitation in rebooking!

Apartment Buqa Guests - Geneva based but originally from the USA

We had a really good time in Samoens. The family enjoyed the hospitality and care that you and your husband gave us. As first time skiers almost new from North America, it was a little concerning to figure out what to do. We personally appreciate the fact the you took the time to take us to get our ski gear and instructor. Then you and your husband went to the top of the mountain with us on the first day so that we could get comfortable. We had a blast. We had an awesome instructor and everyone was venturing on the blue at the end of the week……….Well done!

Thank you so much and you will definitely see us again

Apartment Bonamour and Etoile Guests - from Holland

Dear Carla and Rob,

We would like to thank you for your support before and during our stay in Samoens everything was very well organised. We really enjoyed our holidays. The ski area was a very positive surprise, people are friendly and helpful, the village has everything you need and is an attractive place to be. The apartments have a good set up and are nicely decorated. We are reconsidering the area for next year. We will probably be with an even larger group, by that time we will contact you again.

Good luck with Massif Escape and maybe we will see you again next year !

kind regards,

Johan, Ingeborg, Ingmar, Jeanette, Tim, Niels, Boudewijn, Joris and Liselotte February 21st -28th, 2009

Chalet Myrtle Guests - from England

The chalet was lovely and perfect location in terms of access to the village. The skiing was good. Carla & Rob were fantastic, and so, so helpful. They organized so much for us that we can't thank them enough. When we arrived they were there, and throughout the week were available for advice.

They sorted ski hire through Anthonioz ski - brilliant and very reasonable- recommended.

The restaurant just across from Anthonioz -( Rob would know the name), we ate there three times and so friendly and food superb - again recommend

Apartment Etoile Guest - from England

We had a superb time in Samoens. Etoile is a lovely appartment, beautifully furnished and well equipped. It is in an excellent location for both the centre of Samoens and for the ski lifts. In the evening, iIt was great to relax after a hard day's skiing by lighting a fire, opening a bottle of wine and watching a DVD. Perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank Rob and Carla for their warm welcome, answering our questions and help with ski hire.

We look forward to returning!

Apartment Etoile Guest - from Geneva

Samoens is a beautiful village, not too small nor too big. There are many winter activities such as skiing, snow shoeing, ice skating, etc.

There is even a professional day care which we had registered for our daughter. Apartment Etoile is a new apartment which is modern and offers all the comforts to accomodate 4 to 5 persons. The apartment also gives the feeling of staying in a chalet with the wooden beams and roof and offers a serene view of the town and alps.

But mostly, we were impressed with the cordiality and helpfulness of the management staff (big thanks to Carla and Rob) for the booking and getting us acquainted with the apartment and the area/activities. We highly recommend a visit to Samoens in this apartment.

Amusez-vous bien!

Chalet Myrtle Guest

We had an absolutely brilliant time time thank you. The weather was perfect and the chalet was ideal for our needs - we were all able to get round the table for Christmas dinner and the two lounges meant that we could have a "quiet room" whilst the children were watching DVDs so it all worked out great.

Carla and Rob were superb hosts - a fantastic welcome, loads of info, the offer of ski guiding and even the loan of a guitar, so we really appreciated them being there.

The flexibility of the accommodation is a real benefit, and the bathrooms are lovely - so important to come back to a nice hot shower after skiing! Overall we had a brilliant experience in a lovely place.

Many thanks for looking after us last week - we had a brilliant time and it was great to know that you were around to help, although in the event we were fine anyway.I know how much Rob and Helen appreciated the great welcome you gave them and the loan of the guitar and the welcome hamper was a very nice touch. It would be great to stay in touch as we really loved Samoens and the area, so would be keen to come back in a smaller group some time, and maybe even in summer as I am sure there are some great summer sports activities to be had.

Besides the injury we really did have a great time at the apartment. We found it very comfortable and cosy. The rooms were very spacious with considerate lighting and an airy feel. The views onto the mountains were always changing allowing views up towards the main skiing areas. I have to say that I was not expecting the chalet to be so close to the town centre and the selection of ski buses.

Samoens is a picture postcard village, with plenty of good shops and restaurants but still maintain an intimate feel of a mountain community town.

Both Carla and Rob were extremely helpful both before and during our stay and enabled us to arrive and leave with peace of mind knowing that any equipment requested or information required was accurate and punctual.

We will of course be sure to pass on the details of massif escape to other we know who enjoy skiing in the French alps.

Ski adventure to Lac Gers

"In beautiful bright sun we ski'd down the 14km blue Cascades run. Sophie (7yrs) enjoyed racing down often way ahead of us, while Nicoline (11yrs) went for some offpiste along the run. The views of Mt Blanc where amazing and we more or less had the run to ourselves. About 2/3 down as we came into the wooded area Carla stopped by a sign for Lac Gers and made a call and 5 min. later a local farmer came racing down the mountain on a snowmobile. The kids, and adults I might add, where thrilled when he threw 5 robes out for us to hold on to, as he whizzed us up the mountain. After 5-8 min we arrived at the restaurant by Lac Gers where we had a fantastic 3 course meal and very friendly service. After a great lunch we ski'd the last 4km down to Sixt and caught the bus back to Samoens. This is definitely not the last time we ski the Grand Massif and visit Lac Gers!
