Mieussy, the birthplace of paragliding
In June 1978, three parachutists, Jean-Claude Bétemps, André Bohn and Gérard Bosson jumped off Pertuiset peak for the first time with a parachute, to avoid the cost of using a plane. Not so long after that, they opened the very first club-school…
Mieussy, base camp for hikers
The chapel trail: Starting from the cheese dairy known as ‘Fruitière‘ in french, you can discover 6 chapels (Notre Dame de Barbey, Saint-Grat, Messy, Leÿ, Quincy and Saint-Denis).
3 spectacular trails to the Sommand mountain pastures: via the Pas du Saix, the Jourdy cave, or the paved path and the Chapelle St Grat.
A multitude of footpaths link the villages, between river such as the Giffre and mountain.
Mieussy, its river and lakes
Here, both streams and torrents flow into the Giffre! Its waters change colour depending on the season!
The magnificent and small Lac d’Anthon lake is the perfect to fish. There are numerous climbing routes overlooking the lake.
Mieussy, its Alpine pastures and cheeses!
The Fruitière des Hauts-Fleury & Croq’Alp, La Maison du Goût
The cheese dairy of the village! Every day, the farmers of Mieussy deliver their milk here for the on-site manufacture of Tomme de Savoie (IGP) and Reblochon (AOP) cheeses. A glass-fronted viewing gallery (with an entrance fee) overlooks the production room, so that visitors can see how the cheeses are made with their own eyes. The shop has a wide range of local products, including cheeses, ‘charcuterie‘, honey, jam, Savoie wines, and lots more besides.
The ‘Fruitière‘ houses ‘Croq’ Alp – La Maison du Goût‘. Follow Lactasia, the main character in a 3D film, as she goes from Alpine pastures to the maturing cellars and learn the secrets behind the smells, flavours and aromas of our Savoie cheeses. Production room with a viewing gallery, guided tasting session and 3D film.
