About the host
Hosted by Elan raja
We thought it be nice for you to get a brief idea of who we are.
Elan & Piral first set their eyes on Samoens in 2007 and fell in love with it immediately, after many a ski season spent in hedonistic Chamonix. They knew they wanted somewhere they could bring their whole family to, to enjoy throughout all seasons - with something for everyone. Piral was expecting their first-born at the time and knew that this place would become a home from home for their growing family. The picturesque village, the hub of wholesome village activities through winter and summer, the easy access to Grand Massif pistes over ski season, the hustle and bustle of the friendly locals, the arts and crafts, and the splendid breathtaking sunsets...
Fast forward 15 years - Elan is still a keen off-piste snowboarder and mountain biker, while Piral likes to enjoy hikes, apres-skiing and quality time with good friends. As for the children: they have been skiing since in nappies, foraging for wood for the log fire and toasting marshmellows, gaming or enjoying Netflix in the comfort of the chalet-apartment. It goes without saying that Buqa is literally our happy place.
We, at Buqa are strong believers of 'Mi Casa es Tu Casa' and we want you to enjoy your stay at Buqa just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
Samoens is a chocolate box village in the heart of the Rhone-Alps. The lesser known of the French alpine resorts, the beauty is in the fact that it has remained relatively authentic, cultured and well-preserved. It is a truly hidden gem, popular among couples, families, friends and those who love outdoor adventures.
Each season brings a whole new landscape and energy with it. Our favourite snapshot is the view from the balcony at sunset, when the last of the paragliders are descending the pink skies.
