Home, in Val Thorens
Many investors wishing to acquire a property in the French Alps are opting for individual chalets, which combine intimacy, well-being and a connection with nature thanks to the use of authentic, high quality materials. The attractiveness of this type of property is further enhanced due to it being the accommodation of choice for seasonal holiday rentals in the mountains. Val Thorens is well-aligned with this trend and offers plenty of high-end chalets to meet this demand. A lively resort popular with sports enthusiasts and families alike, it is an attractive option for prospective buyers due to the lower prices per square metre than in the neighbouring 3 Valleys resorts of Courchevel or even Méribel.
With a head office in Albertville, the independent Cimalpes network specialises in luxury mountain real estate, and has agencies established in a number of resorts in the French Alps. A leading player in the sales and rental markets for prestigious properties, Cimalpes has a select portfolio of chalets for sale, representing the pick of current market opportunities. Experts in property and rental management, Cimalpes also assists investors in the planning and implementation of rental strategies, including marketing their property and setting up concierge services to maximise rental income, by taking into account the specific characteristics of each micro-market.
There are, today, many reasons to invest in a chalet in Val Thorens:
Situated in a natural amphitheatre with panoramic views across more than a thousand peaks in the French, Italian and Swiss Alps, Val Thorens has successfully capitalised on its spectacular surroundings. In winter, the 100 kilometres of pistes in the Val Thorens-Orelles ski area join those of Courchevel and Méribel to form the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski area with over 600 kilometres of marked runs. Off-piste skiing and ski touring are also popular with thrill seekers and lovers of untracked slopes. In summer, the hiking and mountain bike trails take holidaymakers into beautiful landscapes and unspoilt nature.
As with Courchevel, Tignes or Val d'Isère, Val Thorens is well-known for its lively après-ski scene, on the piste at La Folie Douce, in the village, or at one of the resort's spas for a more relaxing experience after the day's adventures. After skiing, enjoy excellent food and a lively atmosphere in the many bars and restaurants such as Jean Sulpice's two star establishment. Close to the snow front, many of these venues transform into clubs at nightfall, and Val Thorens also has Le Malaysia, the biggest nightclub in the Alps.
Driven by the increasing popularity of non ski activities in recent years, Val Thorens is expanding its creativity and investments to offer new experiences to its holidaymakers. Its famous ice driving circuit attracts car enthusiasts who come to tackle the frozen curves behind the wheel of 100% electric cars. The resort even has an ice karting school for aspiring drivers. For airborne thrill seekers, La Bee zip line at the top of the Moutière chairlift offers spectacular views during an exhilarating 1,800m descent. Family-friendly activities include tandem toboggan rides or an introduction to mountain biking on snow.
French and foreign buyers are able to claim back VAT amounting to 20% of the value of their investment when buying a new chalet, provided that they offer it for rental for a minimum number of weeks per year. The property, naturally, remains at the owner's disposal for their own holidays including during high season periods. In some cases, buyers can also save up to 10% on legal fees.
