A tourist resort located at 1,000 metres above sea level, Sampeyre is a village suitable for hosting families and outdoor lovers. It offers many possibilities for learning how to practise winter activities and to enjoy more adrenaline-pumping fun. One example of this are the slopes in the upper part that wind through forests of larch and stone pines, spanning a total length of 16 km. The opportunity to dine and stay overnight in the mountain chalets is not to be missed.

In addition to alpine skiing, have fun walking with snowshoes on fresh snow or along one of the marked itineraries, opt for a freeride descent or even tackle the mountains with sealskin ski touring gear. An original idea? Lovers of ice climbing will find a large number of frozen flows in the valley, all very different in terms of type and ease of access. In addition, an ice skating rink and bobsleigh tracks are available. 

If your passions are skiing and good food, you are in the right place. Enjoy the authentic taste of local dairy products and savour the traditional Ravioles, made with mountain potatoes and Tomino di Melle cheese, delicious treats sure to win you over.

Don’t miss the traditional Baìo in Sampeyre, a festival with ancient origins that celebrates the end of winter and the expulsion of the Saracens. It stars the local population, who liven up the streets of the town and the nearby hamlets with re-enactments and dances. The event takes place every 5 years. Keep it in mind: the next edition is scheduled for 2022!
