Are you looking for a romantic chalet with wood fires but all the modern luxuries like underfloor heating? Somewhere with real peace? A breathtaking view to greet you every morning?
Chalet Le Moulin is perfectly located high up the mountain on the way to the high up ski resorts of Praz de Lys - Sommand (main lift starts 1500m). Here the snow is crispy and deep. The chalet is exclusively situated to enjoy stunning views over the valley to the mountain tops and has all the serenity you could ever wish for! Our village resort is truly family friendly, offering a delightful 60km of high snow runs linked by 24 lifts over mountains and passes to the resort Praz de Lys, and is suitable for all ski abilities. It is renowned by local French and Swiss for its Alpine beauty, including the majestic tall pine forests and spectacular open mountain tops across from the Grand Massif of Mont Blanc. Here you can avoid the crowds and clamour of the neighbouring resorts on either side, Les-Gets/Morzine and Samoens/Flaine, or decide to try them out. The choice is yours!

In the summer, you can walk from the chalet door. There are hiking trails across the mountains with spectacular views, gushing streams and cliff caves. You can walk past timeless Alpine Chalet farms that are still making reblouchon cheese and in late spring alpine meadows are crammed with flowers.

Come and breathe some fresh air, whether to ski or just simply relax and enjoy the peace!

Village Ski Resort with aclose by even bigger choice:
The chalet sits high above the village of Mieussy on the way its own ski resort of Praz de Lys - Sommand. Its just a few minutes drive further to park next to chair lifts that start at a high altitude of 1510m. Here the snow is already crisp and pillowy with soaring pine forests and open meadows. Next to the lifts are nursery slopes for beginers and ski schools and also lots of cross country trails. This magnificent setting make the resort a special place much sought after by cross country and back country skiers as well as families who require skiing at all levels. Its natural Alpine beauty at its best - unspoilt.

Our village of Mieussy lies in the famous Samoens/Les Gets valley, the chalet is a 14 minutes drive up to Sommand and Praz de Lys. But equally the chalet door is less than 20 minutes drive from the chairlifts of the famous ski villages of Morillion/Samoens and Les Get/Morzine. All 4 villages link up with many other resorts and its possible to ski all day and right over into Switzerland, without backtracking. Its so big you will never get round it all !

But it's not all about the skiing. Chalet Le Moulin is also somewhere to enjoy time with your family and friends.

Also you may explore the local winter markets and family events in the surrounding villages. For more sophisticated glamour, it is a just a short trip to either the bright lights of Geneva or the lakeside magic of Annecy (our favourite away day from the ski slopes)

Do you want to escape the hubbub of a crowded ski resort with all its noisy bars and impersonal tourism? Try some natural peace, open views and quiet winter forests from your chalet door.

When the snows are deep, its easy to hire some snow shoes in the village and enjoy the white beauty of the trails. It’s straight from the pages of Narnia and an experience you wont forget.

Great view, and a great place to relax
We had a lovely summer holiday here. If you want privacy, lovely views (Mont Blanc!!), and a great house for relaxing, walks, and nice quiet evenings, than this is the place to be! The owners were very friendly, and they send us good information about the house, the villages, and some walks. We highly recommend this lovely house for a summer stay!

Cozy chalet with great views
We had never been to Haute Savoie before. It is a remarkable natural landscape in the immediate (Sameons valley) and wider surroundings. The cottage is comfortably furnished, very clean and the kitchen is well equipped with numerous appliances. Deep sleep is guaranteed, the memorable silence is accompanied only by the sound of the torrent. The location - secluded - is exceptional and met our expectations. Only the weather didn't want to show its best side - for alpine hiking - so we enjoyed our stay in the chalet all the more, with a crackling fire. Nearby shopping facilities in Mieussy offer fresh bread, delicious meat products and of course wonderful cheese, not just but also from the super cow “Abandonce”. Excursions to the surrounding area, Evian and Annecy offered good alternatives in bad weather. We hope for more stable weather for our next vacation in Nigel and Irene's wonderful vacation home. PS. Communication with Nigel was always swift and to the point.

Lovely location during summer/winter
We had a lovely time in the chalet even without any snow. The size was great for a 8 person party and the view from the balcony incredible. Some upgrades to the appliances are necessary, the dishwasher was broken, sink clogged and not enough glasses/plates so we had to do a lot of hand washing. Also the floors were creaking a lot(I know an old chalet) so difficult to sleep if anyone wanted to go ul and down the stairs. Overall a good experience

5 stars!!!!
Chalet le Moulin exceeded our expectations. The views are simply amazing and ever changing with the weather. The chalet is huge and beautifully presented. Everywhere you look there is something quirky that catches your eye. We cooked at the chalet every night and there is all the kitchen equipment you would ever need. The WIFI is super fast and my boys enjoyed the big TV on the mezzanine. The skiing both at Sommand and Praz de lys is perfect for my beginners but there is plenty of interesting stuff for those who need more of a challenge. We would love to stay again!!!

Stunning views
Lovely homely chalet with absolutely amazing views. Very well equipped. Great walks nearby. Few things a bit dated but the chalet has a lovely warm feel to it. The host was very helpful, answering our queries quickly and clearly had fantastic knowledge of the local area. Please note the hot tub is wood fired so takes a long time to warm up, so you do need to be around all day to get it warmed up which for us wasn't practical as we spent our days out exploring,

Un chalet de rêve !
Nous avons séjourné en famille de 5 personnes avec un chien. Tout était très bien. Bon accès au chalet. Cuisine, sanitaires, lingerie, tout est très pratique, propre, et agréable. Bonnes literies. Deux points forts incontournables pour cette location : la décoration intérieure, authentique, boisée, pleine de charme, chaleureuse et confortable. Et le plus remarquable est la vue sur la vallée, assis sur la terrasse éclairée du matin au soir, ou dans le salon au bruit de la cheminée. Les alentours sont riches en randonnées et somptueux paysages. L'environnement est vraiment calme et apaisant, loin de la foule mais près de tout (pour faire du ski, de la luge ou ... les courses!) Le chalet possède en plus un large terrain très confortable, ouvert sur la vallée. Nous remercions chaleureusement les hôtes pour leur disponibilité et leur confiance.

Schöne Woche verbracht
Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Lage und ist gut ausgestattet. Wir haben eine schöne Woche verbracht. Leider konnten wir den "hot tub" nicht mit Wasser füllen, da die Wasserleitungen defekt sind. Hier wäre dringend Handlungsbedarf. Bei so schönem Wetter, war es sehr schade den "hut tub" nicht benutzen zu können.

Wundervoller Familien-Herbsturlaub
Das Chalet war ein Traum für uns als 5-köpfige Familie. Wanderungen direkt vom Haus, gemütliche Kaminabende bei Regenwetter, schöne Märkte in der Umgebung, eine toll ausgestattete Küche, sogar mit echtem Holzofen (wer mag - es gibt natürlich auch einen "normalen" Herd und Ofen ;-)), viele Spiele und Beschäftigungs-möglichkeiten für die Kinder. Wir haben eine tolle, abwechslungsreiche und sehr entspannte Herbstwoche verbracht und freuen uns auf eine Wiederkommen. Die Kommunikation mit Nigel war super.

Fantastic place to spend your holiday
Traditional chalet with beautiful view over mountains and valley. It is not just a holiday home but you step in a wel cared and beloved home. Nothing better than sitting on the terrace/balcony and enjoy the view, watching the birds and squirrels. The chalet itself is well equiped with everything you could need. You find all the information you need on the village, things to do and to visit.

Charming chalet with fantastic views! The chalet has everything you need with a hot tub, hammocks, well equipped kitchen, outdoor pizza oven... Lovely walks from your door into the forests and mountains, not all long, not all steep! We were a family group of 5 adults and had a wonderful time relaxing in this idyllic spot.

Un chalet incroyable entouré de verdure
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce chalet parfaitement équipé et très confortable. La vue sur les montagnes est magnifique ; il y a un grand jardin où les enfants peuvent s'amuser avec tout ce qu'il faut pour des activités extérieures. Les propriétaires ainsi que Norbert sont très disponibles. Nous reviendrons sans hésitation pour un séjour plus long. Je recommande vivement pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis. Il y a de nombreuses promenades à faire aux alentours du chalet. Merci beaucoup pour l'accueil ! Petit plus : les animaux sont acceptés.

Séjour très agréable
Le chalet dispose d’une vue magnifique et dégagée. Il est vraiment tout équipé et ne manque de rien. Les prestations sont au delà de ce que l’on peut trouver par ailleurs. Les balades à proximité sont reposantes et des balades dans la région peuvent être également vraiment impressionnantes. Nous avons même pu voir une biche de la fenêtre… tout était parfait ! Merci !!

Alles Top
Wir waren mit unserer Familie in diesem tollen Haus. Der Pool hat uns gefallen, es hat zwar mehrere Stunden gedauert in warm zu bekommen, aber wir haben es genossen die drei Tage im Pool beim sehr guten Wetter zu nutzen. Die ruhige Lage und die wunderschöne Atmosphäre und Aussicht war atemberaubend. Wir haben die fünf Tage sehr genossen und kommen mit unseren vier Kinden nochmal wieder
