Lacs aux Dames in Samoëns

The Lacs aux Dames in Samoëns are charming lakes nestled at the foot of the Criou mountain. Surrounded by lawns, flowerbeds and a breathtaking view of the peaks.

Located just a few minutes’ walk from the center of Samoëns, the Lacs aux Dames offer a gentle, natural scene. Surrounded by lush greenery and overlooked by the peaks of the Haut-Giffre, they are distinguished by the purity of their waters and the tranquility that reigns there.

Their shores are home to a variety of plants that, as the seasons change, paint the landscape with shifting hues: the soft green of spring, the bursts of color in summer, and the golden reflections of fall. The tranquil waters are home to ducks, fish, and dragonflies, creating a lively and soothing setting.

Accessible year-round, the lakes are perfect for both family walks and moments of solitary contemplation. At daybreak, mist sometimes hovers over the surface, while at dusk the mountains are reflected in a golden light. In winter, the snow lining their shores transforms the scene into a still postcard.

The Lacs aux Dames are not just bodies of water; they are a place where you can fully experience the harmony between nature and the mountains. Whether you come to hike, fish, swim, observe, sketch, or simply breathe, they remain a must-see destination for anyone seeking to capture the peaceful spirit of Samoëns.
