favourites for some top winter events – from
World Cup racing to Polo Masters – and a
whole host of freestyle ski and snowboard
events at the Val d’Isère snowpark, Valpark.
Perched at a lofty 1,850 metres elevation,
Val d’Isère boasts one of the most solid snow
records in Europe. Most of the skiing is at the
2,300-metre mark and above. No place else in
the Alps comes close. With healthy snowfall
averages, excellent artificial backup and
two glaciers in residence, it is not difficult to
understand the renowned allure of this French
Alpine resort.
Add to the winter facilities the fact that the
mountains provide a beautiful backdrop for
summer walkers and hikers, plus the Pissaillas
Glacier (also known as the Val d'Isère glacier),
which is used by summer skiing enthusiasts.
Because of the resort’s continued high
demand, well-located real estate that appeals
to international ski tourists remains in high
demand. Now, a brand new launch of ski apartments, the only one of its kind in Val d'Isère this
season, is about to appeal to these discerning
buyers. The luxury boutique collection of 15
classically inspired apartments enjoys a superb
location, only a 500-metre walk from the
village centre and the ski lifts.
Crafted to demanding specification, the desirable development consists of 1- to 5-bedroom
residences that seamlessly blend traditional
architecture with modern, practical and highend interiors. The ski in properties combine
the classic chalet design with luxurious little
enhancements, where owners will enjoy a
relaxed, mountain lifestyle. The property
impresses with fabulous views over the Solaise
and La Dailee Valley. Featuring elegant living
spaces and quality finishes, these first-class
residences will offer new benchmarks in space,
style and comfort in Val d’Isère.
The spaciousness of each deluxe ski holiday
home is another fantastic aspect. Ranging in
size from 60m² to 187m², the luxurious moun-
tain homes are designed with highly functional
living spaces aimed at showing off the scenic
views. The smallest units, the 1-bedrooms,
come with traditional “coin montagne” or
alcove, ideal for additional sleeping space for
the kids, or else a comfortable study.
Providing the ultimate in low-maintenance
luxury living, the exclusive split-level duplexes
enjoy the ambience and layout of a private
chalet, without the associated price tag. Other
compelling features include dual exposure
to the surrounding mountains, vaulted ceilings, warm traditional building materials such
as wood and stone, and are fitted with the
latest appliances.
The apartments are sold as classic outright
purchase with freehold ownership. So if you
are looking for a high altitude ski property
that generates good rental income and with
no usage restrictions, these apartments
would be ideal.
While constructed within an existing building,
the experienced team of architects has
changed its character as to have the property
classified as a new-build rather than a resale.
Few, if any, resale properties currently on offer
in Val d’Isère are able to meet the specifications available here.
With more and more people searching for the
ideal ski property location, Val d’Isère has to be
one of the most exclusive Alpine destinations
available. It combines true mountain ambience
with easy access in a snow-sure, high-altitude
region with wonderful après-ski activities and
entertainment. These vacation homes will be
the perfect ski holiday retreats to own.
Prices: From €500,000.
