Four Luxury Homes in the French Alps for a Perfect Christmas Holiday
What could be better after hitting the slopes than sipping mulled wine in your cosy chalet gazing at snow-capped mountains? Holidays in the French Alps are unlike any other and if you go at Christmas, you’ll be as captivated as the kids on and off the slopes with parades, fireworks and the Père Noël creating family memories that last a lifetime.
Home Hunts can help you find luxury homes in the French Alps. Covering low and high ends of the luxury market, these four prime properties are investment-savvy opportunities that have recently come onto the market.
Charming Chamonix
Comprising five different ski areas, Chamonix’s ski area is unique and exciting with altitudes ranging from 950m to 3,300m. One of the oldest resorts in France, it is also one of the most captivating with views over Mont Blanc creating unforgettable chocolate-box backdrops everywhere you go. Chamonix at Christmas is enjoyable for the whole family, from the fairies on parade to night skiing and ice skating – and, of course, for those into apès-ski, there’s the famous La Folie Douce.
In the heart of Argentière, this magnificent apartment is one of eight in a building called Le Royal Straton. By Grand Montets – the most popular ski area – this two-bedroom beauty is the perfect place for a small family or couple looking for winter fun. For relaxing at any time of the day, the wide south-facing balcony is a treat with its panorama of captivating mountainscapes. It’s also a bargain at €730,000.
Magical Morzine
Set at 1,000m, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Morzine is one of the biggest linked ski areas in the world. With more than 600km of pistes it’s a Christmas adventureland catering for all levels. New for Noël 2023 is a 1.5km red run in the Arare sector in Avoriaz, and a magic carpet, making it easier for beginners, near the Pleney cable car. The festive season is a wonderful time to be in Morzine and not just for snow sports, amidst a host of things to do, there’s street parades, face painting and fireworks.
As the Beauregard hotel is being converted into a three-apartment residence, there is an opportunity to invest in a sensational new chalet (HH-15086009) in the centre of Morzine.
