Ferme in French means farm, Ferme Dowèna is situated between the villages of Samoëns and Morillon in the heart of the Grand Massif ski areas and set among the farms of hamlet called L'Etelley. Ferme Dowèna has 84.25 sq m of acommodation & living area available. Having a car gives you the flexibility to choose which of the three main ski lifts you use, all of them are a five minutes drive away.   Ferme Dowèna is situated in an unique farming area where in summer see the farmers still practising the art of farming with cattle, sheep & horses grazing in the paddocks surrounding  Ferme Dowèna, while in winter have the opportunity of seeing wild deer, foxes and plenty of winter bird life.   Ferme Dowèna is only 1500metres to the nearest ski lift, but located away from the busy Samoëns winter & summer crowds.
