House or chalet
in Méribel Mottaret

 

The Haute-Savoie is a department with must-see destinations for anyone who appreciates fresh air, mountain landscapes, winter sports, and the French art of living. Naturally, buyers of new and old chalets turn toward the most sought-after destinations, the ones most appreciated by locals and/or tourists, in order to invest in real estate where the value will continue to grow over the years.

 

 

The most famous location in Haute-Savoie is the 3 Vallées ski area and its three jewels: Courchevel, Méribel, and Megève. Renowned worldwide, these three winter sports resorts offer breathtaking views over peaks and valleys. Their chalets, clad in wood and stone, have retained their authenticity, generous character, and warm spirit. They are true refuges where you can escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a breath of fresh air and, of course, a delicious fondue.

 

 

And who has never heard of Chamonix, this peaceful resort village at the foot of Mont-Blanc? Its many villages and hamlets have developed in the alpine pastures since the 5th century BC, before experiencing tremendous growth during the first mountaineering expeditions. There, many traditional Savoyard chalets, with lauze roofs and wooden shingles, were built for those who set out to conquer the Mer de Glace or let themselves be carried by the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi.

 

 

More sporty and discreet, the mountain resort of Les Gets is the ideal starting point for outdoor vacations. Summer and winter alike, its chalets for sale provide access to the slopes of the Portes du Soleil. These rolling landscapes transform, with the return of good weather, into a giant concert venue, a bike park, a golf course, and even a swimming area at the Lac des Écoles.
