We escaped our hectic lives in the UK for Samoëns because we love the scenery, the lifestyle, the skiing, the food… and we hope you’ll feel the same way. We want you to enjoy a luxury chalet holiday in relaxed surroundings, and to feel as comfortable as you do in your own home – without the work!

We scoured the French mountains and valleys in search of the perfect spot, and soon settled on Samoëns, mainly because of its unspoilt charm and its central location in the fantastic Grand-Massif ski area. After a year of property hunting, we found the farm, in the middle of a small hamlet, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and bathed in sunshine. So we finally swapped our hectic lives in the UK for our new one in France.

Su started her career in hotels and restaurants. She loved the buzz and mixing with so many different people, but after 10 years decided it was time for a change, and moved into helping other people do the work instead – in management development, then management consultancy, which she still combines with running Ferme du Ciel.

Andy spent 25 years as an engineer in the RAF  before taking early retirement (he thought!) five years ago. On leaving the RAF he bravely undertook hotel work for a while – to learn how not to do it…

How did a management consultant and an RAF engineer end up here? Well, we decided to treat ourselves to a gap year (and a half – it was so good) and spent a winter running a ski chalet in Chamonix. We had such fun that we decided to buy one and do it ourselves. So here we are – looking forward to our sixth season, and to welcoming you for a fun-filled, memorable holiday.
