What a small family should look for

For two adults and one or two children, a residence apartment gives you a kitchen and a separate bedroom, while the pool fills the late afternoons after skiing. Check three things: whether pool access is included or charged, whether children have set swimming hours, and the size of the smallest apartment.

MMV kids' clubs: 18 months to 17 years
Alexane: smallest apartment: 2 rooms for 4 people

MMV Samoëns Village: clubs and a free pool

The Alexane, at 20 avenue du Giffre in the village centre, has 30 apartments for four to ten guests; the two-room apartment sleeps four. Its 1,000 m² wellness centre includes a pool, and there is a games room for older children. It holds the Clef Verte eco-label and opens from 12 December 2026 to 18 April 2027.

CGH’s Les Chalets de Laÿssia, at 19 place des 7 Monts, pairs fully equipped apartments with a relaxation area and heated pool. Its Ô des Cimes spa offers treatments for children from age six.
