A 44 kilometres (27 mi) tramway from Annemasse to Samoëns operated by CEN Réseau de la Haute-Savoie started services in 1891. Four services per day were operated using steam tramway engines.[5]
On 24 August 1932 a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) extension to Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval was opened and at the same time the whole line was converted to electric traction.[6]
All services were closed on 15 May 1959.
