Why choose Samoens for your corporate event?

Just one hour from Geneva international airport, Samoens feels as if its a million miles from the real world, while remaining incredibly accessible.  A perfect weekend corporate retreat destination, you can fly into Geneva and be in Samoens within an hour (some city bankers actually live in Samoens and commute to London for work).   Forget spending half your weekend traveling; we believe that commute time is wasted time.   Samoens is a superb corporate retreat destination right on your doorstep.

Dining out in Samoens

Should you prefer to dine out, our team can help you to select and reserve a restaurant or mountain refuge to suit your group’s preferences.  There’s a little bit of everything in Samoens, from refined French dining to hearty alpine fondue and raclette dishes.

Our personal favourite is an evening “at the farm” – an entirely rustic Savoyard restaurant experience with divine local dishes served by the farmers themselves in a dining room with glass walls overlooking 100 or so cows in their cosy winter barn!  Atmospheric venues are our specialty; we love taking you slightly off the beaten track for genuine and unforgettable experiences that can’t be found elsewhere.

Corporate group packages

Every group is different and as such, we prefer not to offer off-the-shelf corporate events packages.  Your needs are specific and we’re ready to help create a special experience that will be both enjoyable and fruitful for everyone involved.  Tell us a bit about your group, your budget, your time frame and what you’re hoping to achieve and we’ll throw some ideas your way.

Corporate retreats in Samoens might include a team building and fitness session or a private wellness workshop, as well as a healthy gourmet breakfast, lunch, and refreshments for the group.  You might like to share a canyoning adventure or go white water rafting, before beer tasting at a local microbrewery, or hosted wine tasting in the comfort of your private chalet.  Perhaps yoga and mindful walking is more your style.  In any case, if you’re keen to get out and into nature and to enjoy French fine food and wine, you’re in the right spot !
