If there's one thing we love about Samoëns, it's the way modernity only lightly touches the centuries of history that make this area so intruiging. There is a huge collection of old photographs, maps and drawings of the village and surrounding landscapes, and comparing them with the Samoens we see today is always a fascinating exercise.
