Worldwide access to the Alps

When you are considering where to purchase a holiday or investment property abroad, an important factor is probably going to be the relative ease of access from your nearest airport.

We are fortunate in Haute-Savoie to have a range of international airports within easy driving distance. Geneva airport is the main gateway to the area, located 30 minutes from our head office in Annecy and approximately one hour's drive from the main ski resorts we cover (Portes du Soleil, Grand Massif, Chamonix, Evasion Mont Blanc and the Aravis). There are also international airports at Chambery (ideal for our 3 Valleys properties), Grenoble and Lyon.

Geneva airport, located on the French/Swiss border, is one of Europe's busiest airports. The terminal has just undergone the first phase of a 250million CHF overhaul. There are regular, scheduled flights every week to over 100 destinations in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa.

It is possible to fly direct to most European cities with national airlines such as Swiss, BA and Air France. Low-cost carrier Easyjet also operates to 34 European and North African destinations from Geneva.

There are daily flights to the Middle East with Etihad (Abu Dhabi) and Qatar Airways (Doha) and onward connections to cities in Asia and Australia.

For those crossing the Atlantic there are direct services to New York (Swiss, Continental), Washington (United) and Montreal (Air Canada).

There are also many scheduled services to destinations in North Africa and a twice-weekly connection to the island of Mauritius.

Ascendant is a leading international estate agency based in Annecy, France with property for sale in ski resorts such as Chamonix, Morzine, Megeve, La Clusaz and St Martin de Belleville as well as around Lake Annecy. Our customers come from all around the world, attracted by the beautiful Alpine scenery, extensive range of activities on offer throughout the year and easy access. We look forward to welcoming you to the French Alps soon.

2-bed ski apartment, 96 000 euros

New to the market, this two bedroom apartment in St Gervais is sure to be popular.

The apartment is in a quiet location close to the ski slopes; in summer there is a swimming pool and tennis courts on site. St Gervais is part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski domain and is linked by lift to its prestigious neighbour, Megeve. We expect this apartment to sell quickly.
