Description
Entering Chalet Ferme de Moudon is like walking into a particularly good episode of Grand Designs. The place screams sophistication and wonderful mountain cosiness at equal volume. You’ll just want to slip on some trendy sheepskin slippers and dive onto the sofa in front of the gorgeous open fireplace the minute you get there.
Designed by revered interior designer Nicky Dobree, Ferme de Moudon is a pleasing mix of modern class and alpine tradition, with chunky wooden beams, pillars and log piles contrasting with chic furniture and floor lamps, plump throws and cushions, and colourful art. Beautiful but homely too.
And then there’s the view. Tucked away in a private hamlet, Ferme de Moudon is wonderfully secluded amongst the trees with views across the valley from its various balconies. Possibly best enjoyed from the outdoor hot tub with a glass of Champagne in hand. But if you’re feeling active and downhill skiing is not your main priority, why not explore the cross-country ski trails and wonderful snow shoe walks from Mont Carly, just above Ferme de Moudon.
As well as the delights of dipping into hot bubbles in the cool night air, the chalet has a heated outdoor swimming pool and sauna to indulge in after a day’s skiing. And there’s an office if you need to check in with the real world from time to time. You can also spread out and enjoy the living spaces, choosing from a catch-up session with friends and family in the formal reception area or quietly relax in front of the TV in the snug reception.
But hopefully, you can instead spend most of your time relaxing by the fire, watching DVDs on the giant plasma, and enjoying a delectable menu crafted by your talented cook on five evenings. After all, designer or not designer, once the lifts have closed for the day, that is what ski holidays are really all about.
Location
Ferme de Moudon is set in the private Moudon hamlet, surrounded by trees, with fabulous mountain views. But despite its secluded location, it’s still a short chauffeured drive (if taken on a catered basis) to the Perrieres Express ski lift and a few minutes to the centre of the resort.
The nearest airport is Geneva, which is approx. 1hr 10mins away.

Each morning, your chalet host will lay out a hearty continental breakfast to set you up for the day, with additional hot options on offer. Once you’ve burned all that off on the slopes, you’ll return to your chalet to find afternoon tea with either sweet or savoury tart from the local artisan pâtisserie laid out for you to enjoy.
A 3-course dinner is provided on five evenings and early kids’ tea can be arranged if required. On staff days off, you’re free to either explore a wide range of restaurants in Les Gets, order a takeaway or cook for yourselves in the comfort of your chalet.
The chalet will also be pre-stocked with a selection of house wines, spirits bar with speciality gins, craft beers and European larger for guests to enjoy.

Kids
Say the words ‘swimming pool’ out loud and you know your kids will be happy all week. But as well as the joys of splashing about, there’s plenty of room elsewhere for children to enjoy themselves, from the cosy TV snug to the billiards table and bar.
Children can either eat with you or enjoy high tea together at whatever time you’d like. Like the choice of food, the schedule is entirely up to you.
Outside of the confines of Ferme de Moudon, there’s an ice-rink in Les Gets, and husky rides are available too.
We can arrange for a private nanny to look after your children either snuggled up inside, or refereeing snowball fights outside. And if you’d like a night out, babysitters can also be organised.
