Rare opportunity unveiled in chic Megève

This month sees the launch of Balcons de Megève – an exclusive ski-in, ski-out chalet apartment development situated in the heart of what is arguably the prettiest and chicest ski resort in the French Alps.

It is also the first time that Alpine Homes has entered the French ski market, having established themselves as the market leader in Switzerland.

Megève vies with Courchevel 1850 for the title of France's smartest ski resort with over 450 km of ski slopes. It is home to one of the best spas in the world and Michelin starred cuisine. It was founded in 1914 by Baroness de Rothschild who, during the years following World War I, turned it into her own winter salon for European aristocracy and it was during the 1950s and 1960s that the likes of Johnny Halliday and Brigitte Bardot made it the focus of Parisian café society. Patronage has continued from influential families such as Citroën, Taittinger, and Benetton.

Jeremy Rollason, Savills says, “To find a site of this quality in the heart of Megève is like gold-dust. Development land of this calibre rarely comes up in this prestigious resort and we are delighted to offer purchasers one of these exceptional chalet apartments that provide not only word-class skiing but an opportunity to buy into one of the most sought after and enchanting resorts in the French Alps – under an hour from Geneva”.
