Ever Fancied your own apartment on the ski slopes?


Years ago if you owned a property in the French Alps you would probably have been a fairly well heeled individual who had a good sum of spare cash to spend on a hobby such as skiing. It was rather exclusive and indeed you may have spotted half of the Chelsea residents out there, however nowadays things are different.

A boom in budget airlines with increased destinations and cheap flights to all the French ski resorts has opened up this exclusive sport to the masses. This in turn has fuelled demand for both rental accommodation but also those buying property there. A serious limit on development and the excess demand has seen prices of ski properties rocket over the last ten years with many of the popular resorts such as Meribel, Val Thorens and Courchevel out of most people’s budgets.

There are however still fantastic ski locations which won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Take La Tania for instance which sits in the now infamous three valleys ski area- one bedroom apartments van be bought from as little as 125,000 Euros and offer guaranteed rental income of up to 4% per annum. Combine this with the possibility for 80-100% mortgages and it really does make your perfect dream ski apartment very affordable.

La Tania 3 Valleys Ski Domain


La Tania is part of the ski domain of Les 3 Vallées, at an altitude of 1400m in the La Vanoise massif, half-way between Méribel and Courchevel. A legendary ski domain of the French Alps, Les 3 Vallées offers more than 600km of slopes. A winter sports paradise for fans of sensation, it also offers gentle slopes for beginner skiers.

Le Britania: A ski in ski out residence


On the central square in the heart of the resort, close to the mountain lifts, the Le Britania residence has something of a grand hotel of Savoie in its appearance. From the residence, there are splendid views over the valley of Bozel, the glacier of Bellecôte and the summit of Le Grand Bec. The development has been beautifully renovated producing a high quality finish combining good looks with comfort and warmth.

La Tania


Built on the mountainside, in the middle of a sumptuous spruce forest, La Tania blends perfectly into the landscape of the valley. The centre of the resort is pedestrian, the architecture is comfortably proportioned and the omnipresence of wood on all the small residences and chalets gives it a particularly friendly, family atmosphere.

Activities winter and summer alike


In winter, skiing is king and new winter sport sensations are on the programme -heliski, riders, hang-gliding, snowboarding… Summer is the time for lovely excursions in the Parc de la Vanoise, with activities in the resort and close by: open-air swimming pool, multi-sport terrain, kayak, golf … The forest of La Tania also offers a terrain of predilection for cross-country skiing, snowshoe hikes, horse-and-trap driving and mountain-biking.
