  Description

  We are a french family with two children, six months and three years old kids. We live in viuz-en-Sallaz in the French Alps, 40mn from Geneva Airport, in a quiet place close to ski resorts. The house is a little on the ecological side, mass stove heater, dry toilet, compost...
  We spend most of our week-end in mountains, hiking, climbing and ski touring.
  We would like to host someone interesting in these activities and ideas, to spend time with our children.
  We have a little house next to the main house to host you in an individual place.
