Maison La Cerisaie is a beautiful Alpine stone farmhouse offering half-board accommodation, self-catering and bed and breakfast year round. It operates as a fully catered ski chalet in the winter season and can also be reserved on a self-catering basis. Built in 1830, it has been modernised and upgraded by Sally-Anne and Simon Airey, who bought it as their home in 2011. The house nestles among rug
ged mountains and stunning scenery in a tranquil, authentic Alpine location at the heart of Salvagny, one of the hamlets which make up the ancient village of Sixt Fer à Cheval in the Grand Massif, Haute Savoie. Recognised officially as one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" (The Most Beautiful Villages of France), Sixt is under 10 minutes by car from the resort of Samoens and 75 minutes from Geneva airport. Accommodating up to 12 people in four comfortable en-suite bedrooms, the chalet has a spacious and elegant living space with mountain views on three sides. It combines traditional Alpine atmosphere and character with contemporary design. In winter, the Sixt ski slopes are 200 metres away and an 8-minute drive or free ski bus ride takes you to the Grand Massif Express gondola in Samoens, giving rapid access to the area's whole 265 km of pistes. The famous 14 km "Cascades" blue run from the top of the Flaine bowl at 2480 metres also finishes in Sixt, a few hundred metres from the house, and offers spectacular views of the Mont Blanc massif. In summer, surrounded by the largest nature reserve in Haute Savoie, the house is perfect as a start point for Alpine walks or as a base for the area’s many adventurous activities, including mountain-biking, climbing, whitewater rafting, paragliding, horse-riding and mule-trekking. An easy 30-minute walk from the house brings you to one of the Giffre Valley's best known sites - the Cascade du Rouget waterfall. To make a booking, call us or e-mail us now. We look forward to sharing this very special place with you.
