suit. For example, Courchevel
1650 is improving its lift system
to connect directly with 1850, and
many buildings are clad in Savoyard
stone to give it a prettier and more
authentic feel.
Ski resorts in the Auvergne are
popular too, with Le Lioran,
Le Mont-Dore and SuperBesse -
Puy-de-Sancy leading the way.

It is estimated that of the 340,000
properties in Savoie, around 37% are
holiday homes. In some resorts, such
as Val-d'Isère and Méribel, lack of
development land and strict planning
restrictions means a lack of supply
is driving up prices. In neighbouring
Haute-Savoie, it is estimated that
of the 492,000 properties, around
a quarter are holiday homes. Once
again, a lack of development land
and strict local planning guidelines
can lead to a shortage of stock -
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is one resort
that is currently undersupplied.
Prices vary greatly, even within
individual resorts, and you are always
best speaking with one of our local
agents on the ground.
Speaking of which, our team here
numbers just under 100 agents, all
of them with specialist knowledge of
their local area. Between us, we have
the most comprehensive portfolio
of property listings that you could
wish for. From ski chalets to country
houses and from apartments to lakeside villas - why
not come and find
out why this is officially the most
sought-after area in France?
