Holiday apartment in Sampeyre: Mountain trails, bridges and vibrant traditions

Sampeyre combines mountain scenery, paths through hamlets and woodland, distinctive structures and festivals with their own character. Choosing a holiday apartment in Sampeyre allows you to tailor your stay to your preferred mix of activity, observing nature and cultural discoveries.

Cross-country skiing and trails for active days

In winter, the approximately 8 km-long cross-country ski trail is a specific destination for sporty days. It is groomed for both the classic technique and skating. This allows you to include two different forms of cross-country skiing in your personal holiday plans without limiting your stay to a single activity.

Shorter discoveries are also part of Sampeyre's appeal. The Sarvanot trail leads from the hamlet of Rore through the woodland to the Tumpi la Pisso waterfalls; the one-way route is 1 km long. A botanical educational trail begins in the hamlet of Graziani, while in Becetto a 40-metre-long Tibetan bridge is one of the area's distinctive attractions.

Mountain scenery and distinctive viewpoints

From Sampeyre, excursions and ascents lead into the mountains, including an ascent to Lobbie di Viso at 3,015 m. A chairlift divided into two sections runs from Sampeyre into the Sant'Anna Valley, making it another specific feature of the area's landscape and trail network.

The hamlet of Rore is home to Chris Bangle's Giant Bench. It is a viewpoint offering panoramic views across the entire valley. The artificial lake near Sampeyre offers a different focus and is used by fishing enthusiasts. This means that when choosing your holiday apartment, you can take different ideas for your days into account: sporty ascents, far-reaching views or an activity by the water.

Local churches and history

Becetto is home to the Santuario di Sampeyre, which was built in the early years of the 13th century. In Sampeyre itself, the parish church of Santi Pietro e Paolo has an octagonal white marble baptismal font from the Zabreri workshop, dated 1482.

The same parish church also preserves a cycle of paintings by Tommaso and Matteo Biazaci, dated to the decade from 1460 to 1470. For travellers who enjoy combining trails and nature with art and historical impressions, Sampeyre and Becetto therefore offer several specific themes to explore.

Festivals with their own rhythm

Baìo is a festival held every five years in February in Sampeyre. Costumed figures reenact the expulsion of the Saracens in a blend of history and legend. Cianto Viol takes place every year on the last Sunday in August in Sampeyre. Another event with a clearly defined date was the Fiera di San Michele e Sagra delle raviole: it took place from 27 September 2024 to 29 September 2024 in Piazza della Vittoria in Sampeyre.

A holiday apartment or holiday home can serve as your personal base while you plan your excursions around the places and dates that interest you most.
