We are just ending our stay here, and it has been great. An hour drive by motorway from Geneva Airport, 45 minutes from Chamonix, and surrounded by many other beautiful places nearby, Sallanches was great for us (1 hour to Annecy, less than an hour to Sixt-fer-a-cheval, right next to St-Gervais-les-Baines, 90 minutes to Martigny/Switzerland). The apartment is located 200 meters from the town center, where a Saturday morning market takes place, and 5 minutes drive from a large Carfour Supermarket). The apartment itself, though less expensive could be found, is relatively large and very well equipped, and the view of the mountains from the living room and from the balcony is stunning, photographs can't do it justice. The owners met us at the apartment, showed us around it, recommended to us places worth visiting, and left us in the apartment things such as foodstuffs and cleaning materials, as well as some of their tasty homemade raspberry jam. As we were mainly interested in easy countryside walking, and sightseeing, this apartment was great for us.
