Stayed at club med, the food quality was very poor. A lot of people had food poisoning, including me girlfriend. The lower slopes beneath the hotel were green grass, which meant there was only one lift to access the whole mountain, which was closed one of the days meaning we were stranded, with only one green run accessible all day.
The skiing was pretty good when we got up into Flaine and we had 3 days of top tier skiing conditions. The grooming was pretty hit and miss, with the inconsistent weather conditions some nights the bashers just didnt come out, making for very slushy conditions the next morning. Overall we enjoyed the holiday, however, unlikely to visit Samoens again

Really quiet runs which was great but poor snow quality and you can get stuck with one green run if there is high wind because there is only one lift access flane.

I really enjoyed Samoens. If you are looking for a family friendly, value for money resort, then its great. The slopes arent busy at all and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, its also an easy link into the grand massif. With over 250kms or runs, its more than enough for a weeks trip.
