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.

Lovely traditional chalet in a beautiful setting. Peaceful, tranquil location with walks from the door. Comfortable interior with everything you could need for a fantastic holiday. The host was always available to answer any questions and provided lots of information prior to arrival
Lovely chalet with a beautiful view of the valley. Short drive up to ski hills and into town. There are lots of interesting walks from the chalet door.
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,
We (3 people from Germany) happily returned to Chalet Le Moulin for another 2 weeks in this cosy vacation home in sublime landscape. Nigel and Irene's house is a place where you feel right at home. When it rains — and given the lush green surroundings, this is part of the Alpine experience — we made ourselves comfortable and read, relaxed by the fireplace, and/or ate cheese and other delicacies from French cuisine. The kitchen in the vacation home is well equipped to prepare all these treats. Numerous cookbooks help you prepare foreign recipes with delicious cheese, fresh fish from Super U, etc. Nearby are supermarkets, bakeries, cheese shops, a butcher and weekly markets that offer almost everything you need.When the weather is fine, there are countless opportunities for mountain tours/hikes, ranging from easy to strenuous - afterwards, you can enjoy the fantastic mountain panorama and the sunset on the balcony with a few snacks and good wines.Anyway, time flies... and it's time to plan your return next year.
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.
We had a fantastic stay at this chalet and couldn’t have asked for more. The host was very welcoming and helpful, making everything feel easy and relaxed from the moment we arrived. The chalet itself is beautiful, warm and extremely comfortable, with stunning views over the Samoëns valley.We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the log fire, which made evenings incredibly cosy after busy days exploring the area. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully equipped, making it a perfect family escape.A truly memorable stay and somewhere we would happily return to and recommend to others.
This property is located in the heart of the French Alps and has a country feel even though it is only minutes from town. If you enjoy quiet and comfort this is an awesome chalet. We also did one hour day trips to Annecy, Yvoire, and Chamonix. Thank you for sharing your home!
A fantastic location with great views, We all had a fantastic stay the chalet was comfortable and well equipped location to Sommand is fantatsic10min drive up the mountain and on the. slopes.
Thanks for a great week, definitely one would return to. Very well equipped, a great venue if you want Alpine beauty. I see someone was complaining that the stairs creak in the night, err well that's wood does!
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!
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!!!
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
Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux au chalet du Moulin. Celui-ci bénéficie d'une vue à couper le souffle, en effet la vue sur les montagnes est juste incroyable. Le chalet a toutes les commodités. N'est-ce pas formidable de déguster un chocolat chaud devant la cheminée ? Le must..Nous avons fait de très belles ballades avec nos loulous qui étaient la bienvenue. Nigel et Irène les propriétaires sont adorables, quand nous sommes arrivés nous avons trouvé sur la table un petit cadeau : une belle bouteille de vin blanc savoyard avec un joli mot de leur part. Je trouve cela très classe. Nous avons eu plein de conseils qui nous ont beaucoup aidés. Nous n'oublierons jamais ce séjour : chalet merveilleux et l'endroit est vraiment magnifique. Nous y retournerons.
L'emplacement était parfait, l'environnement est incroyable. La maison est confortable, bien équipée et les propriétaires très sympathiques. Seul bémol, le bain nordique, l'homme de ménage nous prévient une fois sur place que ce n'est pas vraiment utilisable, j'aurais aimé le savoir avant. En dehors de ce point c'était génial !
Un vrai coin de paradis tres bien situé, le chalet est vraiment super et l'équipement est parfait pour passer un excellent sejour. Toute la famille a ete ravie de sejourner au chalet du moulin
Joli chalet typique et bien décoré Très belle vueCuisine très bien équipée Dommage que personne n’ait mis le chauffage en route (moins de 10 degrés à notre arrivée), n’y ouvert les volets.
