Neighbourhood

You will certainly appreciate this family resort in the mid-mountains where it is possible to do many activities without taking your car. As for the snow, be careful: we are at 1,000 meters, Hirmentaz peaks at 1,600 meters, so snow is not guaranteed. In case of good cold, there are snow cannons. Possibility of going up in the snow groomers. In summer, and in winter if there is no snow, a chairlift open for transporting mountain bikes, mountain bike trail. Please read in particular the last paragraph of our profile, before contacting us. Possibility of cleaning on request (80€) Wifi with paid subscription with the tourist office 7€/day, 39 €/week. Regarding animals, we accept them under the conditions that they stay on the ground floor, do not climb on the beds, sofas or carpets and do not disturb the neighbors, and in principle if you also accept animals. Inside the apartment, fairly steep staircase. Possibility of putting barriers at the top and bottom for children, on request.

Getting to my home

Good news: possibility to come by public transport from Annemasse (bus 3 times a day) and also Thonon-les-Bains. (Bus line Habère-Poche-Bellevaux-Thonon Y03)

Nearest airport

Denise

Denise and Marc (70 and 72 years old): we are retired and love to travel. We have made more than 100 exchanges since 2001, on another site that has evolved, and want to refocus on traditional exchanges. We are curious and travel both in France and abroad. Outside the school holidays, we travel together and during the school holidays with our grandchildren (7, 11 and 15 years old) and our daughter who are therefore used to exchanges. We love hiking, cycling, museums, festivals, architecture, meeting people. We love to cook, read, play, bricoler.... We are interested in birds, animals in general, and are members of the LPO (Ligne de Protection des Oiseaux = BirdLife).
