We help you find your special place.

At Mountain People, we have sourced the finest chalets in Samoens & Sixt and work closely with the owners and professional management teams to ensure that every last detail has been considered. Unlike the bigger impersonal brands, we hand-pick every chalet in our collection and represent them on an exclusive basis , selecting only the best properties that represent our core ethos.

I created Mountain People to enable others to share the joy of a perfect holiday in the Grand Massif. It’s a place close to my heart - I’m sure it will be for you, too.
— Sebastian von Holstein, Founder and Director

Our Brand Values

Every chalet in our collection must meet these criteria:

Authenticity

Rather than looking for standard properties positioned right on the piste, we go off-piste to find rare rusticity and secluded places of sanctuary. Far from the madding crowd and half-term hordes, each property is carefully selected on its location, charming interior decor and distinct character.

Comfort

Alongside farmhouse authenticity, we always want our guests to feel ‘at home’ and completely comfortable. Our houses are managed and maintained either by a hand-picked team of local professionals, or by a live-in concierge / cleaning team to ensure your utmost comfort during your stay.

Wow-Factor

We want to take your breath away. Whether it’s stunning views, fun interior details, amazing amenities, superior service or a certain je ne sais quoi, every chalet in our collection has something special to offer. We want you to start your holiday with a “wow” and keep that feeling throughout.

Cosy, comfortable high level of accommodation every time with Mountain People, this is the second time we have used Sebastian and his team and it certainly will not be the last.

Seamless stress free service every time

For Guests

Our job is to match you with the best holiday home for your needs and requirements. We know our properties inside-out and deal directly with all aspects of the setting up process, including photography, drawing up floor plans and creating detailed house manuals. We have a close working relationship with all of our owners and handle all bookings, from start to finish, on their behalf. We also work closely with local management teams to ensure a smooth holiday.

For Owners

We’ve been operating our business since 2013 but have known Samoens for over 25 years and watched it grow! When you put your trust in us, we take that seriously, working hard to build a lasting relationship and handling all of the admin and headaches of property lettings for you. We find the rentals, manage the bookings, take great care of guests, all the while working alongside great local teams that will take care for your home away from home when you’re not there .

 
 
I cannot speak too highly of Mountain People...we have been using them to arrange our Winter holidays for the last 6 seasons and have found Sebastian to be efficient, professional and honest. He seems to really care about our holiday and always responds to our emails promptly
