About the area…
Chalet El Rancho is in Le Villard, a hamlet just 3km from the centre of Samoëns.
Samoëns is located in the Giffre Valley, near Morillon, Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, and Flaine. The village is known for its cultural and architectural heritage, as well as its pedestrian-friendly centre and interesting back streets. Its lively main square is a popular place to eat, and many skiers drop down into the town for lunch before heading back to the slopes. Samoëns offers a rare balance between traditional charm and direct access to a wide range of outdoor activities.
In winter, Samoëns is linked to the Grand Massif ski area, which includes 139 runs across Flaine, Morillon, Les Carroz, and Sixt. These range from wide forest trails to more technical descents at higher altitudes. The village also offers many winter activities, such as sledging, snowshoeing or dog-sledding excursions, cross-country skiing, ice skating and more. Samoëns’ great location and facilities make it a great base for those wanting to make the most of a mountain holiday while enjoying a village atmosphere.
During the rest of the year, the river and waterfalls of the Giffre Valley invite visitors to go swimming, canyoning, rafting, or fishing. The leisure centre and aquatic complex at the Lac aux Dames make a great choice for a family day out, whether you want to relax or enjoy the sporting facilities. You can also swim in the lake in summer. Lac Bleu in Morillon is just a walk or cycle away along the river path. It's a great place to swim and in the winter you can relax in the saunas around the lake. Children will enjoy the pump track and zipline. Hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, climbing and visits to the natural amphitheater of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval are just some of the activities in the surrounding area.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet El Rancho is designed as a place where large groups can enjoy the mountains together. It can accommodate up to 12 guests, in six bedrooms over three floors.
After a day in the great outdoors, you will look forward to returning to the comfort of the living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, to watch television or chat while enjoying the view. This room opens onto a stunning terrace, where you can enjoy meals with a view of the mountains.
On the lower floor, you can get together to watch a film in the television room, or enjoy a few games of table football. This room opens onto the garden via a covered terrace with a summer kitchen.
This constant connection between the chalet and the landscape is what we love most about Chalet El Rancho.
With six bedrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone. Some rooms have balconies with unobstructed views of the mountains, while others open directly onto the garden.
A family room with four single beds is perfect for children or friends, and the property also has several conveniently located bathrooms.
Other useful facilities at Chalet El Rancho include a ski room with heated boot dryers, a laundry room and several parking spaces, including a covered shelter with a charging point for electric vehicles.
