Saint-Sigismond

Saint-Sigismond spans 791 hectares at 990 meters elevation, positioned on La Corne between the industrial valley of Cluses and the tourist resort of Araches Les Carroz.

The village became the birthplace of regional clockmaking industry in the 18th century, introduced by Claude Joseph Ballaloud who also founded the first brass band of Faucigny in 1706.

The residents known as Matondus maintain a strong musical tradition inherited from their tricentennial brass band, celebrated in 2006 during significant community festivities.

The commune houses approximately 600 inhabitants distributed across several hamlets and offers rural lodges converted from traditional houses restored by local residents.

The Agy plateau features a Nordic center equipped for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, combining winter sports with cattle observation in a preserved natural environment.
