Saint-Sigismond dominates the valley while being close to the Grand Massif resorts, emblems of the ski industry. Not belonging to either of these two worlds, this village is a world apart, which hides within it a nugget: the Agy plateau. There is a scent of life-size adventures here: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, hiking ... So open your chakras, inhale deeply and take the opportunity to work on cardio in the great outdoors!

To origins industrial history

It is at the beginning of the XVIIIe century that one of the illustrious inhabitants of Saint-sigismond launches the industrial history of the region. Claude Joseph Ballaloud is a genius visionary: he introduced the work of subcontracting watch parts production to his village for the watch factories of Geneva. Many residents follow suit: this activity allows you to put butter in spinach, especially in winter. Without the brilliant idea of ​​Claude Joseph Ballaloud, the valley would certainly have a completely different face today. So, who do we say thank you to?

I work on cardio!

Nothing like it to eliminate the gnole-tartiflette of the day before or to type in the saddlebags: skating or alternative, the benefits of the bottom are proven.
