D<\/span>aylight levels and temperatures are falling as we peel off the autoroute from Geneva and begin the familiar gentle ascent towards Samo\u00ebns. When we reach the valley we glimpse a silvery flash of snow-covered forests through the gathering gloom. So far it\u2019s looking good. A few minutes later we check into our accommodation at CGH Les Chalets de La\u00ffssia<\/a> and transfer luggage from the underground car park to the spacious apartment which will be home for the next week.<\/p>\n

The following morning, while gazing from the balcony we spot a change to the skyline since we were last in Samo\u00ebns, in the shape of a large covered ice rink. Beyond it the Grand Massif Express gondola lift is stirring from its slumbers, ready to haul skiers up the mountainside to Samo\u00ebns 1600, gateway to the vast Grand Massif ski domain<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\nThe haul is as hypnotic as we remember it, climbing through snow-laden pines and larches before bursting dramatically into the sudden vastness of the wide-open terrain spread enticingly beneath us..\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fuelled for the long run<\/h2>\n

Keen to do just that, we unpack our skis and climb aboard the shuttle bus which stops beside the residence. It\u2019s a free service, but takes a circuitous route to pick up other skiers before finally dropping us at the foot of the gondola lift. The Grand Massif Express<\/a> is an impressive, high-capacity lift offering a smooth and at times near-vertical haul. It\u2019s quite a ride. Eight minutes or so later we\u2019re stepping from the cocooning micro-climate of our cabin into the desiccating chill of a sunlit snowscape at Samo\u00ebns 1600<\/strong>. Things have changed a lot up here recently, including the addition, just a few steps from the lift, of a new Club Med Ski resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From Samo\u00ebns to Morillon and beyond<\/h2>\n

After snapping into our bindings we push off for an introductory glide down to the six-seater Chariande Express chairlift<\/strong>, the first of the series of onward lifts linking Samo\u00ebns with Morillon<\/strong>, Les Carroz<\/a>, Flaine<\/a> and ultimately Sixt-Fer-\u00e0-Cheval<\/strong> (from which the return journey is via shuttle only). The lift offers a faster, longer ride than its older companion, the Chariande 2 chairlift.<\/p>\n

The haul is as hypnotic as we remember it, climbing through snow-laden pines and larches before bursting dramatically into the sudden vastness of the wide-open terrain spread enticingly beneath us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Key lift upgrades for Samo\u00ebns<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a fast lift; a little over six minutes and 2.26km later we ski off at the T\u00eate des Saix<\/strong> (2118m), which opens up possibilities for anyone who enjoys covering some distance. We\u2019re spoilt for choice, with red- and blue-graded descents back through the tree-line to the neighbouring villages. If the snow cover is good there\u2019s also the option of skiing back to the foot of an antique \u2018egg\u2019-style gondola serving Vercland<\/strong>, between Samo\u00ebns and Morillon.<\/p>\n

Somewhere down there in the shelter of the similarly-wooded margins are the villages of Morillon and Les Carroz, and if we keep straight ahead we\u2019ll eventually reach Flaine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Running for cover<\/h2>\n

Right now, though, it\u2019s bitterly cold so we decide to put Flaine on hold until things have warmed up a little, and instead turn right to point our skis towards the terrain belonging to nearby Morillon 1100, the idea being to enjoy some of the more sheltered runs lower down among the forests.<\/p>\n

This is one of the great joys of skiing in the Grand Massif, and one which surprises many skiers when they first come and experience it for themselves, not least since Flaine (much of whose terrain is well above the tree-line) has always tended to grab most of the media attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Down among the trees<\/h2>\n

Taking a combination of blue- and red-graded pistes starting with Perce-Neige and l\u2019Ar\u00eate, we work our way lazily and in blissful near-silence down to Morillon 1100, then continue all the way to the main village some 400m lower, from which the Morillon gondola<\/strong> brings us straight back up again. We\u2019re warming up nicely now and are developing a taste for these quieter runs, so turn our attention to the neighbouring wooded terrain which is well worth exploring above Les Carroz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Clear and cold (for now)<\/h2>\n

The visibility, though, is best higher up, so after rediscovering a few longish blues and reds we work our way back down to the Molliets 6-seater high-speed chair-lift<\/strong>. At the top things now feel a lot less raw, although temperatures remain low, keeping snow conditions close to perfect as we ski down to take a break just above the arrival of the K\u00e9deuze gondola<\/strong> lift from Les Carroz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Heading back, to beat the front<\/h2>\n

After a memorably disappointing lunch (we won\u2019t be returning, thanks) we escape from the restaurant to find conditions have deteriorated, so snap straight into our bindings and cruise via a couple of blues (Blanchot and Marmottes) down to the base of the T\u00eate des Saix chairlift<\/strong>, which opened in 2016. Capable of operating at 6m\/sec, the muscular 6-seater speeds things up dramatically for skiers heading to Morillon and Samo\u00ebns, which is good news for us, since we want to beat the fast-approaching depression which when it arrives promises to shut down visibility on the mountain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Back to snowy Samo\u00ebns 1600<\/h2>\n

When we ski off at the top it\u2019s a simple matter of taking direct a red (Marmotte) or a more wayward blue (Dahu), which head down to Samo\u00ebns 1600. We know the blue well, so follow it all the way to the Damoiseaux chair<\/strong> for a quick haul over the final crest before the Grand Massif Express<\/strong>, while the snow is falling thick and fast. Back in our apartment only our legs know just how far we\u2019ve travelled, but getting around is now easier than ever. Samo\u00ebns is somewhere to which we\u2019ll happily return, with or without an excuse. \"MountainPassions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
