The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
As its name suggests, the French sub-department of the Haute-Savoie was part of the kingdom of Savoy but became part of France after France annexed it in 1860 after a plebiscite. The region contains some of the highest mountains in the French Alps( Mont Blanc), which largely determines its climate: cold winters but warm summers. This is not to say that there are not wet days in August.
The area had its share of resistance activity during the second world war: At Novel there is an inn at the end of a mountain path, which was a rendezvous point for refugees.
The Thollon les Memises / Grand Roc area
Steamer trips on lake Geneva offer a pleasant and restful way of visiting the lakeside places of interest: a must is Yvoir some 45 minutes by boat. It is a mediaval fortified village still with much of its defensive walls still standing. The village is full of interesting shops and restaurants. Across the lake is the castle of chinon made famous by Lord Byron in his poem "the Prisoner of Chillon". All the important towns on the Swiss side of the lake can be reached by the ferry. If the weather is not suitable for outside activities then excursions can be made to Annecy, which is well worth a visit and is situated on its own attractive lake: probably less than an hour away. On very hot days at Grand Roc, which is situated at a 1000 meters: relief can be had by going either to the excellent swimming pool in Evian, which has a slide. The beach at the lakeside is at Amphion in a very attractive location, with all the usual water activities. There are many local interesting and quite challenging walks, offering stunning views across the lake in one direction and over to the Swiss mountains in the other.
About half an hour's drive away is the impressive Gorges du Pont du Diable: made by the Dranse river. It provides a very interesting walk. It is situated on the D902: the road from lake Geneva to Morzine
Skiing at Thollon is for beginners and intermediates; but the views from the slopes are magnificient giving views over lake Geneva. More advanced skiiers might want to drive to Chatel some 45 minutes away, which is the gateway to the vast Portes du Soleil giving some of the best skiing in France and Switzerland. Although the chalet is some 5 minutes from the town and ski lifts: in winter there is free navette, which runs daily to and from the chalet; the bus stop is across the road from the chalet.
