Property finder in the Alps

From Megève to Courchevel and the Chamonix valley, the Northern Alps are the most demanding chalet market in France: villages of character, high-altitude resorts, exceptional ski domains. Rare properties circulate between insiders here, and value plays on technical criteria we audit one by one.

On the ground

What changes in the Alps

  • In resort, value plays on technical criteria: exposure, ski-in access, building rights, regulated rental yield.
  • Exceptional chalets sell first by private agreement, between families and insiders: monitoring makes the access.
  • Resort co-ownerships, mountain surveys and planning rules: high-altitude buildings demand a dedicated audit.

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked first

Do you cover resorts beyond Megève, Courchevel and Chamonix?

Yes: Val d’Isère, Méribel, La Clusaz, Saint-Gervais and the other Northern Alps resorts are hunted tailor-made, according to your project.

Do you hunt year-round homes, or only second homes?

Both: year-round living grows in the valley villages, while altitude resorts remain the heart of the weekend market. Two hunting logics, run in parallel when the project calls for it.

What are property prices in the Alps in 2026?

Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025), the market in the Alps ranges from €9,600/m² (Megève) to €11,800/m² (Courchevel) in medians. These are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
