Great value ski chalets and apartments

With the ski season just around the corner, we wanted to highlight some of the great value ski chalets and apartments currently for sale through Ascendant.

If you are looking for a bargain bolthole in the Alps, you might want to consider a superb 1-bedroom apartment in St Gervais les Bains priced at just 85,000 euros. The apartment is located just around the corner from the TMB station: from here there is a train link to the ski slopes of nearby Les Houches and a regular shuttle bus service to the main Saint Gervais lift. The centre of this attractive resort, with its many shops, bars and restaurants, is a mere 5 minutes walk away.

Ski-in, ski-out properties often command a price premium, which makes our 2-bed apartment in La Grande Terche priced at 185,000 euros excellent value for money. There are a number of shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and for those that wish to explore the wider Portes du Soleil domain by car the apartment has the advantage of being sold with a covered parking space.

We have just added two new ski chalets to our Portes du Soleil portfolio. The first, a traditional alpine chalet located on the ski bus route into Morzine, is priced at a competitive 399,000 euros. The second chalet, close to the centre of Les Gets, one of the most sought-after Alpine resorts, is available for 490,000 euros.

Down the road in the Grand Massif domain, we are marketing a beautiful farmhouse, only 400m away from one of the main ski lifts in Samoens. The property is split into six apartments which are let out successfully in the winter and summer; each apartment has two bedrooms and its own kitchen. There are also some great mountain views from the sunny, south-facing garden. The price of this property has just dropped to 825,000 euros which we believe offers fantastic value for money. Early viewing recommended!
