Samoëns Local Artisan Workshops & Galleries
Explore the rich artistic heritage of Samoëns by visiting its various local artisan workshops and galleries. As a village renowned for its stone masons (the 'Frahans' of Samoëns), visitors can discover studios dedicated to traditional stone carving, wood sculpture, pottery, painting, and jewelry making. These workshops often provide opportunities to see artisans at work, understand their craft, and purchase unique, handmade souvenirs or pieces of art that reflect the region's culture and natural beauty. Unlike specific named workshops (which are excluded), this refers to the broader artistic community and the array of small, independent galleries. Opening hours vary by artisan, but many are open during village market days and peak tourist seasons.
