Their "Filet de Boeuf" steak is top 3 in the world according to my husband (and he has tried many!). The cheese sauce is great. Very nice service. The setting is less, but worth going to nonetheless.

Local food such as cheese fondue and raclette! Odd setting outside along a highway, but once you go in you will think yourself in the snowy mountains and forget all about that! A fun little surprise awaits inside behind a glass wall.... Fun for kids!

City/town information

A beautiful village where we still spot details on houses that we hadn't noticed before. It has Geneva on one side, and a nature reserve on the other. The lake and woods are with a 5-15 min (bike) ride or drive. Many famous ski destinations in France and Switzerland are within an hours drive. Which makes this a great place to explore from.

Hike to the top and get a 360 degree view toward Mt. Blanc and Lac Leman (Geneva lake). There is a little restaurant (almost) at the top that serves a well deserved beer and cake :-) L'ami Mole Le Petit Mole, 74130 Ayse, France Phone: +33 6 07 60 60 67

Take the cable car up and enjoy a fantastic view over Geneva and the lake. There is also the option to walk or bike back down. You can have a fancy lunch in the restaurant, or enjoy a simpel lunch from the little take away. There is also a play ground for the kids.
