Le Semnoz Reviews

An ideal resort for children and families. Perfect for beginners and intermediate skiers. Very reasonable prices: you don't feel ripped off like in some other resorts! The welcome is excellent: smiling, attentive, and friendly staff. The resort is very close to Annecy and the villages around the lake: this is definitely its biggest advantage. For experienced skiers, boredom sets in quickly, but for a half-day getaway, it's fine...proof: I keep coming back. Downhill skiing: The slopes are very short, and for experienced skiers, you feel like you're spending more time on the lifts than actually skiing. Cross-country skiing: Great for a half-day escape in the forest, but you quickly run out of things to do. Expanding the ski area would be a plus for both disciplines. The resort lacks charm and authenticity: no typical stone and wood chalets like you find in other resorts. Charming restaurants are somewhat lacking, which is a shame. Despite these drawbacks, it's still a pleasure to escape to this resort closest to the Annecy basin.

• Very close to Annecy, so convenient for a half-day ski trip
• Lacking charm: no stone and wood chalets. Ski area a bit small.

Thanks to the manager I met today and his approachable and human side, Tic and Tac, the snowkiters

• Family atmosphere, very pleasant staff

After checking the resort's website, which stated that almost all the slopes were open except for two, I topped up my pass for two hours, charged the car, and decided to go skiing. When I got to the top, what a disappointment! No snow, only four slopes open. And a puddle—or rather, a pool of water—at the T-bar lift. It was a lie on their part to attract people and fill their coffers.

• Hourly rate
• Lies about the snow level and the number of open slopes.

A hassle to get in...a hassle to leave...on site there's a snack bar...a pseudo-restaurant...everything is poorly designed...no enjoyment.

• the rates
• site not suitable for high traffic

A great, human-sized resort with friendly staff and well-maintained slopes. We have the Cool card (similar to a toll tag; you're charged for the duration of your ski session and there's no need to queue at the payment booths). The resort isn't the largest or most diverse in the region, but it remains affordable. I recommend it for a good half-day of skiing, for beginners, or even for families.

• Human-sized ski area, great card (you are charged according to the actual skiing time and no need to go to the ticket offices)
• Large crowds at the ticket offices on busy days

An ideal resort for learning to ski, even at an intermediate level. Affordable lift pass prices. Easily accessible resort. Wide range of activities. A good family resort.

• Package price.
• Lack of places to eat

We bought three day passes. The prices we paid weren't the same as the advertised prices... €2 more per pass. One of our passes got stuck an hour before it expired. Our youngest child, a minor, was therefore left alone at the top of the slope, as the lift operator wouldn't listen to reason. There was also an error at the slopeside restaurant, which charged us for an extra course... unbelievable. A great day of skiing, but not so much for the rest!

• Beautiful setting. Quite smooth despite the crowds this January weekend
• Major errors regarding the packages...

amusante pour les enfants

• FORFAITS PAS Chères
• limitées en longueur de pistes

Super, neige très bonne samedi 21 janvier 2023. Il faisait super beau ! Mais un vent froid...mais une très bonne journée. Par compte, arrêtez les touristes de montez sans pneus neige. Ils arrivaient pas à remonter depuis la luge d'été même les 4x4...ça fait bien rire...

R.a.s. toujours aussi bien !
