Samoëns ski resort has been 100% green energy powered since 2016, as well as receiving an AlpEnergies100 certification for its long-term commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

These efforts contribute to the resort’s title as one of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (the most beautiful villages of France), and it works hard to retain its status through the careful preservation of its protected national park territory and local culture.
