Samoens has recently expanded its accommodation considerably and invested in the lift system. How unfortunate then that they have allowed the ski bus system to deteriorate so badly. Frequency of buses has been reduced. Two lines have been merged so that the trip to the gondola can take three times as long. Worst of all, the buses do not even seem to attempt to run to the timetable shown at every bus stop. The result is skiers are frequently waiting half an hour for a bus. If Samoens wants to keep attracting tourists, it needs to get them to the lift system, which is outside the village, quickly and regularly. Otherwise, they will never fill all the accommodation.
