Mieussy (French pronunciation: [mjøsi]; Arpitan: Myeûfi) is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France.

Mieussy has its own high-altitude ski resort, Sommand,[4] starting at 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) and with 60 kilometres (37 mi) of downhill runs suitable for all levels.

[citation needed] It is also noted for its cross country skiing trails, with 50 kilometres (31 mi) of tracked runs, including the Col du Ramaz.

These small rural farms continue the traditions with the passing of century, making a range of savoyard products, including reblochon.

Mieussy became known as the birthplace of paragliding when in June 1978 three friends, Jean-Claude Bétemps, André Bohn, and Gérard Bosson, were inspired by an article on ‘slope soaring’ in the Parachute Manual magazine.
