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.

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,

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Nigel and Irene

Host profile image
Irene is a school teacher in Edinburgh and Nigel works in IT management. We have three wonderful girls, ages 21,18 and 16. Here we are in our villages ski resort Praz des Lys-Sommand above the clouds at 6,500 feet.

Why they chose this property

Chalet Le Moulin is a classic French log chalet offering the experience of wood charm of solid logs, set high up the mountain with spectacular views, its own adjacent pine trees forest and surrounding meadows. Just above is our village ski resort that extends over and arounds the mountains to the neighbouring resort of Praz de Lys. We think our village has the prettiest skiing in the French Alps! It's a protected nature reserve without the mass development of some of its neighbours. Loved for being uncrowded and family friendly - here you will not get knocked over by rude 20 somethings from Northern Europe. Slopes are much less crowded, with long blissful ski trails and plenty of challenging runs at all levels. This is the secret resort where the local French and Swiss from Geneva go!
In the spring and summer it turns into magnificent green Alpine 'Heidi' country. Distant cowbells float up on the warm air as background music. The chalet is 50 minutes from the borders of Switzerland or Italy. Its perfect for exploring the Alps and lakes. The nearby lake town of Annecy is the single place that polled highest amonst French people for where most French people would like to move to if they could.

What makes this property unique

A truly peaceful hideaway. Romantic chalet charm with wood fires but also luxury renovated kitchen, bathrooms, furnishings and fittings. Chalet Le Moulin faces south across the valley with views that inspire calm and serenity. From the door there are hiking trails across the mountains with spectacular views, gushing streams and cliff caves. You can walk past timeless Alpine Chalet farms, still making reblouchon cheese and in late spring the meadows are crammed with flowers. Afterwards you start up the wood fired hot tub.
There is plenty of space to play outside and explore. The chalet has its own private woodland, hammocks, and hidden terraces to sunbathe.
