About Chalet Criou
- The chalet is located just 1km from three telecabines, which take you to the 265kms of skiing of the Grand Massif.
- Samoëns has been awarded the Coq D'Or, an award for it being one of the most beautiful villages in France, it is also a *** village fleurie.
- Samoëns is only a couple of minutes drive from the chalet, and has some delightful restaurants where you can have a variety of food from a simple pizza, local Savoyard dishes, such as raclette and fondue and of course classic French.
- The chalet is less than one hour's drive from Geneva airport, or a 7 to 8 hour motorway drive from Calais, which is very easy with only the last twenty minutes on ordinary roads.
- The chalet is primarily a self- catered chalet but it is available as a catered chalet or if you just want a few evening meals cooked then this is possible as well.
