On a month-long stay, a sore throat or a twisted knee is likely sooner or later.

A month in Samoëns is usually rented as a holiday let: French rules allow furnished tourist lets by the day, week or month, up to 90 consecutive days for the same guest. A bail mobilité, from one to ten months, is only open to people in training, studies or a temporary work assignment. Ask owners directly for a monthly rate, outside the school holidays.
