La Fermé sous le Rocher: Where the Heart Finds Home in the French Alps

I recently visited a truly magical place—La Fermé sous le Rocher, a 19th-century farm tucked away in the mountains in the village of Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, just a few minutes from La Clusaz, France.

This extraordinary place has been created with love and care by two incredible people—Tatiana and Pascal. Their union is a harmony of creativity, attentiveness, and a sincere love for life. Tatiana is a delicate, inspiring, and artistic soul. She hosts unforgettable retreats at the farm, dedicated to yoga, psychology, and creativity. These gatherings become moments of true rejuvenation, comfort, and inner awakening.

Pascal is someone deeply attuned to nature and space. He has a passion for restoring antique furniture, carefully bringing it back to life. Together, they create an atmosphere of warmth and coziness—a place you long to return to again and again. And many guests do come back because the farm doesn’t feel like just a visit; it feels like home.

The farm is a true cocoon of beauty and comfort. Every detail is thoughtfully curated—elegant tableware, natural linens, antique Savoyard furniture, picturesque paintings, soft lighting… History and modernity intertwine so seamlessly here that every corner seems to invite you to pause, slow down, and take a deep breath.

Right behind the farm, a trail leads into an enchanting Alpine forest, where you can walk for hours. A little further on, there’s a mountain river with crystal-clear water. Sitting on a rock by the river, you can simply listen to the water’s murmur—strong, alive, carrying the energy of the mountains. It’s a sound that both soothes and invigorates.

Depending on the season, the farm reveals new facets of its charm. In winter, it’s the perfect place for skiing, with the La Clusaz resorts just a stone’s throw away. In summer, it’s a paradise for cycling enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers, offering breathtaking landscapes.

La Fermé sous le Rocher is more than just a beautiful place. It’s a space filled with soul, created with love, where nature, comfort, and inspiration exist in perfect harmony. Here, you don’t just rest your body—you rest your heart.
