Location & area
At an altitude of 700m lies the unspoilt Valley du Haute Giffre in the heart of the Haute Savoie.
The valley, which is sandwiched between Morzine to the north and Flaine to the south, has four small villages, Morillon, Sixt, Verchaix and Samoens which lies at the foot of the rocky spur known locally as the Criou and is the largest village and the hub of the valley.
As the valley is situated only half an hour from the A41 Auto route Blanche, it is an ideal self-drive location being one of the closest ski and mountain recreation areas from the channel ports. For people traveling by air, Geneva airport is just over an hour away by road.
The valley enjoys two seasons; in the winter it is dominated by skiing, both downhill and cross country, in the Grand Massif skiing area and in the summer it is a paradise for walkers, hikers and cyclists. The mountain road known as the Col de Joux Plane links the valley du Giffre with Morzine and is used periodically by the famous Tour de France cycle race.
Samoens is a centre for almost every outdoor activity; rock climbing, pot holing, canoeing, white water rafting along the Giffre River, mountain biking, horse riding, fishing and paragliding are all very popular.
Further afield, the shores of Lake Geneva are only an hour's drive away where you can enjoy the beautiful resorts of Thonon les Bains, Evian and the ancient walled town of Yvoire where the excellent lakeside restaurants serve the local speciality, pech and frits. Annecy, often called the "Venice of the Alps" is a similar distance. Drive an hour to the east and you will reach Chamonix and the Tunnel du Mont Blanc which takes you to Italy and the Aosta Valley.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
