While luxury property in the French Alps and the nearby Swiss Alps most certainly appeals to skiers, homes here are also ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful break or a lively après ski scene. Cozy Alpine bars that serve mulled wine; lively, vibrant bars with live music; and festive special events are just some of what you can look forward to for nightlife.
Homes in the Swiss and French Alps have breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and floor-to-ceiling windows mean the focus will always be on the outdoor setting. Rich in culture, the Alps blend influences from France, Switzerland and Italy, possibly best reflected in the culinary options of the area.
Property value is high in the Alps, too, with plenty of rental opportunities thanks to year-round tourism. There’s also a high resale value here, making for a smart investment.
Consider these five properties in the Alps, each with its own special characteristics.
1. Courchevel Chalet for Sale
