A season at the Moulin
Winter
The mountains, skiing and peace after a day on the slopes.
Le Mourtis is close by; in the evening, return to timber, silence and a house all to yourself.

The place
Come here for the calm, the cool air and that rare feeling of having the world almost to yourself.
Listen to the water, have lunch outside and truly slow down. The Moulin is more than a house: it is a gentler way to spend a few days.

Through the year
Four seasons. Four reasons to return.
The scenery changes, the promise remains: a comfortable retreat at the heart of a living valley.
A season at the Moulin
Spring
Fishing, footpaths and the valley coming back to life.
The days grow longer, the water accompanies each walk and soft greens return to the Barousse.
A season at the Moulin
Summer
Natural coolness, the river and meals outdoors.
When temperatures rise elsewhere, the trees and the Ourse de Sost keep the air gentler here.
A season at the Moulin
Autumn
Changing colours, red deer calls and wilder nature.
The forest changes voice and light; paths, heritage and slow evenings take centre stage again.
The story
Water has long transformed matter here.
The Moulin name, the Ourse de Sost and buildings already present in 1833 tell a story shaped by water, stone and handed-down gestures.
Today, plants, alchemy and spagyrics discreetly extend that calling in the private part of the estate.
