Investing in Haute-Savoie: The Attractions of Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc

Whilst a real estate purchase in the mountains, a leisure investment par excellence, is attractive to many prospective buyers, it is important to carefully assess the market in order to choose the property that is the best suited to your requirements. The resort of Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc has many advantages, not least its thermal spa and authentic mountain character, which offer solid investment potential. Furthermore, Saint-Gervais represents a reasonably-priced entry point into the mountain real estate market.

Profitability Driven by Multi-Activity

Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc is undeniably dynamic whatever the season. In winter the resort benefits from being part of the huge Evasion Mont Blanc ski area, with 450 kilometres of pistes to satisfy experienced skiers in search of thrills and excitement, and families are catered for thanks to dedicated facilities and easy slopes. Away from the pistes, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ski touring also attract those who love the mountains.

Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc is an important centre for mountaineering, with 75% of the climbers who ascend Europe’s highest peak via the Tramway Mont Blanc setting out from the resort. The world-famous Tour du Mont Blanc, which goes through Les Contamines, is another of Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc's many assets. All of these mountain activities, and much more besides, are made possible by the existence of the Compagnie des Guides de Saint-Gervais/Les Contamines, a high mountain institution whose members guide and accompany visitors on splendid routes in the heart of the Mont Blanc mountain range. In summer, activities such as hiking, mountain biking, canyoning and water sports are offered for all levels of skill and experience, making them accessible to everyone. Away from the pleasures of the high mountains, be they on or off the snow, Saint-Gervais' thermal springs continue to be a major tourist attraction. Saint-Gervais les Bains is the only thermal spa resort in the Haute Savoie region.

Choosing a Secure Investment

Acquiring an apartment or chalet in Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc is a relatively worry-free process for prospective buyers. In contrast with other more risky or uncertain investments, buyers can be reassured by the healthy state of the Saint-Gervais property market and its attractive price to value ratio. Coupled with the resort's year-round appeal, buyers can plan a secure leisure investment with excellent prospects for profitability.  

Where to Invest in Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc

In the centre of the village or the nearby hamlets such as St Nicolas de Véroce, the authenticity of the properties on offer enhances their value and appeal to investors. In recent years, supply of such properties has become more limited, but other acquisition opportunities are stimulating the market and the overall supply of properties remains very healthy. Old Haussmannian style buildings in the centre,  luxury apartment buildings around the resort, as well as chalets, houses and farms, some of which are renovation projects, all offer a haven of peace and tranquility, an aspirational lifestyle and solid investment potential.
