Seven bedrooms, a central St Sorlin address, and a genuine chance to put your own stamp on it. This is a 144 sqm apartment on the first floor of a small two-storey residence, right in the heart of St Sorlin d'Arves and just 350m from the slopes.

It's already comfortable and sold fully furnished, but there's real scope to refresh and make it your own.

The images here show how a renovated version could look, just an idea to spark the imagination - and we can introduce a recommended interior designer to help you get there. With an energy rating of C, there's no insulation work to worry about either.

✔ 7 bedrooms, 144 sqm, sold fully furnished
✔ 350m from the slopes, central St Sorlin d'Arves
✔ 42 sqm open-plan kitchen, dining and living
✔ Each bedroom with its own wash basin, 3 walk-in showers
✔ Balcony wrapping round to a covered terrace
✔ 12 sqm private cave, ski locker and two parking spaces
✔ Energy rating C, no insulation works needed

💸 €580,000, no rental obligation

The numbers stack up too: around 6.5% net rental potential after agency fees, based on the resort's typical 70% occupancy. And with the Col de la Croix de Fer running through the village, the summer cycling crowd keeps it earning well beyond the ski season.

🎙️ New episode: the great September Alpine road trip begins!
Fourteen days, one legendary route, and the French Alps at their quietest and most colourful. In the new episode, Steve sets off on an epic road trip inspired by the Route des Grandes Alpes, and this is just Part 1.

He starts on the shores of Lake Geneva in Thonon-les-Bains, then heads up into the mountains through the Haute-Savoie and Beaufortain, all the way to the stunning Roselend Reservoir. It's a slower, more curious way to see the region, taking in the villages, the passes, the lakes and, of course, the cheese.

Where Part 1 takes you:
➡ Thonon-les-Bains and a detour to medieval Yvoire on the lake
➡ Abondance, its historic abbey and its famous AOP cheese
➡ Châtel and the Portes du Soleil, then Morzine and Les Gets
➡ Over the Col de la Colombière
➡ Le Grand-Bornand and La Clusaz
➡ Beaufort cheese country and the spectacular Roselend Reservoir

Steve also makes the case for why September is such a good time to do it: quieter roads, cooler walking, clear views, and the first golden tint of autumn as you climb higher. He shares some practical advice too, like timing your run at the high passes before early snow can close them.

Thinking of exploring the Alps yourself this autumn? It's a great time to look at properties while you're out there, so do get in touch if you'd like to build a few viewings into the trip.

Could you see yourself coming home to this in Les Gets?
Set above the village in a peaceful residential spot, this new-build chalet has lovely open mountain views and a south-west aspect that should make that terrace a very good place to be on a sunny afternoon.

You’re only around 300m from the nearest piste, with the ski shuttle stopping 50m away, so getting onto the mountain is easy. The centre of Les Gets and the Chavannes snow front are also just a couple of minutes away.

The chalet itself offers 131m² of living space with 3 bedrooms, a cathedral-style living area and plenty of glazing to bring those views inside.

✔ 3-bedroom chalet, 131 sqm over three levels
✔ 20 sqm terrace and a generous 433 sqm private plot
✔ South-west facing with panoramic views
✔ Cathedral ceiling over an open, fully fitted kitchen
✔ Geothermal and underfloor heating
✔ Private garage and ski locker
✔ Shuttle stop 50m away, piste around 300m
💶 €1,950,000
🔑 Completion Q4 2027

Les Gets is a characterful, family-friendly village with the Chavannes ski area on hand and easy access to the huge Portes du Soleil across the French-Swiss border.

And it’s certainly not somewhere that shuts down when the snow disappears. Les Gets is one of Europe’s best-known mountain biking destinations, giving owners plenty of reasons to come back in summer too.

Standalone new-build chalets are increasingly hard to find here, making this small collection particularly interesting.

What actually happens after you say “yes” to a property in the French Alps?
Finding the property can feel like the big hurdle. But as Lesley explains in this week’s episode of the Alpine Property Podcast, it’s often what comes next that buyers need the most help with.

Mortgages work differently in France. Exchange rates can make a very real difference to the cost of an off-plan purchase. Then there are notaries, tax considerations and, eventually, the practicalities of owning and looking after a home hundreds of miles away.

None of it needs to be complicated, but having the right people around you makes a huge difference.

In this episode, Lesley talks about:
✔ Why some of the trickier parts of buying happen after you’ve found the property
✔ The network Steve and Lesley have built over 20 years, from mortgage advisers and currency brokers to notaries, tax specialists, architects, builders and property managers
✔ Why a proper introduction is far more useful than simply being handed a name and phone number
✔ Why speaking to mortgage and currency specialists early can save money and avoid headaches later
✔ The value of knowing not only who to recommend, but who to avoid
Because buying an Alpine property isn’t really just about finding the right chalet or apartment. It’s about getting everything that comes afterwards right too.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens once you’ve found 'the one', this episode is well worth a listen.

Twenty winters! That’s what’s coming up for us as the lifts get ready to spin again.

When Steve and Lesley started Alpine Property Investments back in 2006, it was two people, a love of the mountains, and a belief that buying out here should feel personal rather than transactional.

Twenty years on, and heading into our 20th season, that hasn’t changed a bit. We’ve watched resorts grow, markets rise and dip, and the Alps turn from a winter-only trip into a genuine year-round way of life.

Through all of it, the way we work has stayed the same: know the resorts inside out, give honest advice even when it means talking someone out of the wrong property, and stick around long after the keys are handed over.

So as the countdown to the new season begins, a simple thank you. To everyone who’s trusted us with one of the biggest decisions they’ll make, and to everyone still dreaming about it.

Here’s to the 20th winter. We can’t wait. ❤️

A brand-new chalet in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, ready by the end of the year, with the whole of the 3 Valleys on your doorstep.

We've had an influx of amazing opportunities in Les Gets recently!
It's one of those resorts that's just as busy in July as it is in January, and this new apartment sits right in the heart of it.

It's a brand-new 4 double-bedroom apartment of 126 sqm in the up-and-coming Perrieres district, at the entrance to the resort, in a small chalet-style residence of just 25 apartments, traditional wood and stone, with the Perrieres Express chairlift 350m away and shops, restaurants and the ski school on your doorstep.

Every apartment comes with a balcony or terrace and unobstructed views.

✔ 4 double-bedroom apartment, 126 sqm
✔ 350m from the Perrieres Express chairlift
✔ Intimate residence of just 25 apartments
✔ Balcony or terrace with open views
✔ Traditional wood and stone architecture
✔ Ski lockers, equipped bike storage and underground parking
✔ Reduced notary fees at 2 to 2.5%, 20% VAT reclaimable if you rent

Les Gets is a genuinely four-season resort with seamless access to the huge Portes du Soleil, 600km of linked skiing across the French-Swiss border. In summer it's one of Europe's great mountain-biking destinations, and the bike storage here is a nice nod to that. Family-friendly, characterful, and busy all year.

Interested? Let us know if you'd like the plans, pricing and current availability across the residence.

🎙️ In 1952, the original village of Tignes vanished under a lake.
What rose in its place is now one of the Alps' great four-season resorts.

Most people know Tignes for its snow-sure skiing. Fewer know the story behind it, or how much it has going on the rest of the year.

In this week's podcast, Steve takes a closer look at the Tarentaise Valley resort and what makes it such an appealing spot for a second home.

He looks at:

✔ How the resort reinvented itself higher up the mountain after the dam flooded the old village

✔ Five villages, five very different lifestyles, from traditional Brévières to lively, high-altitude Val Claret

✔ A genuine summer resort now: lake watersports, golf at altitude, biking, hiking and via ferrata

✔ Winter skiing linked with Val d'Isère, 300km up to 3,456m, so the snow is as reliable as it gets

✔ his read on the property market across the villages, new-build and resale, and where it makes sense for different buyers

If you want a home that genuinely earns its keep across all four seasons, this one's worth a listen.

A fresh collection of brand-new homes has just landed, in some of the most-loved resorts in the French Alps.

This week's newsletter brings together new-builds across a real range of iconic villages, each with its own character and year-round appeal. A few of the headliners:

✔ La Clusaz: a boutique residence of just 9 apartments in the heart of the village, 1 to 4 beds, from €632,100. The resort is set to host Nordic events at the 2030 Winter Olympics

✔ Megève: ski-in / ski-out duplexes and penthouses on the Calvaire slope, 2 to 5 beds, from €1,645,000

✔ Saint-Martin-de-Belleville: two new chalets in the 3 Valleys, flexible 3 to 6 bed layouts, from €2,652,000

Plus a hand-picked selection alongside them, from a 2-bed in Tignes at €995,000 to a 7-bed ski-in / ski-out chalet in Les Arcs and a south-facing new build in Serre Chevalier.

Whatever you picture, a central village apartment, a family chalet, a lock-up-and-leave bolthole, there's something here worth a look.

The full collection went out in this week's newsletter. We've put a a link in the comments in case you wanted to take a look👇

The lakes are still warm and the trails are still busy, but the smart money is already thinking about winter. If a top-floor Megève penthouse is on that list, take a look at this...

These are 5-bedroom triplex penthouses in a boutique residence of just 12 homes, in one of Megève's most prestigious spots. Designed by architect Jean-Marc Mouchet, they're built around double-height living areas and floor-to-ceiling windows, with terraces of up to 116 sqm looking across Megève and Le Jaillet.

Genuine ski-in / ski-out on the Calvaire slope, yet 5 minutes' walk from the village and its Michelin-starred tables.

✔ 5-bedroom triplex penthouses, 155 to 156 sqm
✔ Terraces from 43 up to 116 sqm
✔ Ski-in / ski-out on the Calvaire slope
✔ Double-height living, floor-to-ceiling windows
✔ Many with a private wellness or gym area
✔ Three underground parking spaces and a private ski locker
✔ Boutique residence of just 12 homes
✔ Completion Q4 2027

This has to be one of the most elegant addresses in the Alps - 400km of slopes, genuine Savoyard heritage, and a village of boutiques and fine dining that stays lovely all year. New-build at this level, in this spot, almost never comes up.

Interested? Let us know if you would like us to send you the brochure, floor plans and current availability.
