We are property matchmakers.
The best arrangements are those that make everyone happy, and we know that finding the right people to market your home and treat it with respect is equally as important as sourcing the perfect holiday escape for our guests. We’ve been working with property owners and holiday-makers since 2013 and take pride in matching the right guests to the right properties, and to take care of every last detail on both sides of the booking.
We help your investment to stand out.
Unique Chalets
We select every one of our chalets for individual qualities, luxurious touches and charm. Our properties are marketed exclusively through Mountain People and we work closely with our owners to ensure the best experience for guests.
Local Experts
We’ve been operating our business since 2013 but holidayed in Samoens for over 25 years and watched it grow! Whilst we are London-based, we spend lots of time locally to maintain strong relationships with our owners and local partners.
Personal Service
We’re always here to talk – making sure we look after each and every one of our owners in the same way, with great care and attention. We aim to please and to provide you more than the average chalet operator.
“We’re used to renting our holiday homes, so we know what we want from a rental management company. With Mountain People, we are calm in the knowledge that they always have our best interests at heart and will treat our guests well too.”
Why choose us:
At Mountain People, we value great interiors, vernacular design and authentic mountain charm and we usually get excited about properties considered a little too off-piste for other rental management companies. Our guests understand that the truly special things are sometimes worth a little extra effort.
We find the rentals and manage the bookings, working alongside great teams in the Samoens valley that will take care for your home away from home.
We care about what makes your chalet, farmhouse or log cabin special. We work with you to understand the character of your property so we can show it off to its best potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a typical Mountain People owner?
Our typical owners are ‘Mountain People’ themselves. Their beloved homes, chalets and farmhouses are where they come to unwind for a few weeks a year - to spend time with their families and temporarily leave behind their busy professional lives.
Whether they reside in London, Geneva, the USA or further afield, they choose Mountain People because they want flexible use of their holidays homes and value working with a company that understands the love and investment that they have poured into them.
They value our experience in professionally managing all aspects of the rental process from start to finish - they can leave all the hard work to us in the confidence that everything is running smoothly behind the scenes.
What do I need to prepare for guests?
We provide our owners with a checklist of essential items required for lettings. Some are very important and some are ‘nice to have’ to enhance the guest experience, ensuring that they keep coming back year after year. Owners should update us of any major changes or upgrades and ensure that electrical goods, appliances and entertainment facilities are well maintained and in good working order. Your management team or housekeeper will do the rest of the preparation and we will manage the guests from arrival until departure.
Can I list my chalet with others companies?
We only work with owners who are prepared to offer us exclusivity. Unlike many rental management companies, we maintain a manageable portfolio size to ensure that we maximise opportunities for all our owners, no matter their rental goals and requirements. Owners who list with us must agree to work solely with Mountain People going forward. We also manage accounts with the major chalet and rental booking platforms so you never need to worry about missed opportunities.
