Gare de Sixt en 1955

Exploitée par les chemins de fer économiques du Nord, cette ligne à voie métrique fut ouverte en 1892 jusqu'à Samoëns, le prolongement à Sixt n'intervint qu'après 1914. Longue de 49 km, elle se déployait le long de la vallée du Giffre. Partant d'Annemasse à 430 m d'altitude, elle culminait à Sixt à 757 m. Deux antennes furent construites, permettant de rejoindre la vallée de l'Arve (ndlr). L'une de Bonne sur Menoge-Bonneville, l'autre de Saint-Jeoire à Marignier. Toutes deux disparurent avant 1939. Deux autres ne furent jamais achevées. Celle du Pont de Fillinges à Habère-Poche, qui aurait permis une desserte de la vallée verte, et celle de Taninges à Morzine. Une douzaine de trains circulaient quotidiennement, effectuant le parcours entre 1 h 30 et 1 h 50. Fin de l'exploitation le 14 mai 1959.
