Two large Terraces, one covered and one not, offer great vantage points to sit in the sun and take in the stunning surroundings.
All the rooms, including bedrooms, have their very own fab views, and the chalet is decorated with an eclectic mix of French Chateau Style and regional Savoie pieces that create a stylish and sumptuous interior. It is a very comfortable and relaxing place tospend a holiday!

Airport transfers
Generally we book all our airport transfers for our guests with one of three operators. These are people we have worked with for a number of years who provide a comfortable, reliable and good value transfer right to the door of our chalet.
Transfer rates vary depending on the size of your group so you should allow between €22 – €40 euros per person for each leg of your journey.
For guests preferring to book a Hire car you should ideally book from the Swiss sector (not the French) as it is easier to get here and you do not have to pay the Swiss motorway tax.
By Road
Samoens is approx 8 hours drive from Calais so makes a self-drive ski holiday very possible. Allow for stops along the way and you can still be here for your sumptuous evening meal if you book an early-morning crossing. Chalet Falcon has 6 car-parking bays but remember you’ll need snow-chains for your journey in the winter season.
You can plan your own route by using Google maps and getting directions from your departure point to Chalet Falcon.
By Train
Getting to Samoens is also possible by train. You would need to book on the TGV service via Paris and arrive at either Geneva railway station (there are two) or at Cluses, which is just 30 mins drive away. From there we can help book a transfer vehicle to pick you up.
