There are many reasons to invest in an apartment in Chamonix:
As you arrive by road to Les Houches, the first sight of the towering Mont Blanc massif takes your breath away. The majestic summits seem to touch the clouds and are a paradise for mountain lovers. From "touching the void" at the top of the Aiguille du Midi to Lac Blanc in the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve, via the spectacular landscape seen from the Montenvers train, mountaineers, hikers and skiers alike will attest to the extraordinary scenery. With reliable snow cover from December to April, and a pleasant summer climate, the many exceptional chalets dotted around the valley offer unobstructed views of this unspoilt natural environment.
With the railway line serving every village from Saint-Gervais to Martigny in Switzerland, and a bus network linking the ski areas, getting around the valley is easy. Once you arrive in the town centre, just one hour away from Geneva international airport via the Mont Blanc motorway, you can enjoy your stay in the mountains without having to worry about your car. Accessibility is an important factor when choosing a second home or holiday rental and Chamonix's advantages in this area make it ideal for short, medium and long term stays.
In summer and winter alike, there is a wide range of activities on offer in Chamonix across the seven main mountain sectors:
Away from the pistes, visitors can try out ice climbing, dog sledding, tobogganing, snowshoeing, and skating. In summer, too, the mountains offer many opportunities, with 170 marked hiking routes, trail running, cycling, climbing and paragliding all on offer.
In addition to the current low level of interest rates which makes obtaining home loans easier, prospective buyers of second homes can benefit from attractive tax breaks if they opt for a new property.
French and foreign buyers can reclaim 20% of their investment thanks to a VAT refund available to owners who undertake to offer their property on a furnished and serviced rental basis, excluding periods of personal occupancy. A further incentive to buy a new chalet facing Mont Blanc.
