Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Châtel, France

This new 4-5 ensuite bedroom ski-in chalet-apartment is perfectly located for skiing and all seasons – and is set next to the calming running waters of the river Dranse. At just 600m down the road is the Linga ski lift in beautiful Linga village, part of Châtel ski station.

With over 48m2 of exterior space spread across east and west balconies and a 30m2 terrace, you can enjoy the mountain views from early in the morning to late in the evening. The bright, transverse and open living area, comprising of lounge, well-equipped kitchen and a dining area has an impressive cathedral ceiling, modern flame gas fire and opens directly onto the east and west balconies.

The 127m2 (loi carrez) apartment is recently finished to the highest specification. It comes with exterior parking plus an optional 2 underground parking places included in the advertised price (at 20,000€ each), a spacious and practical ski locker (with ski boot warmers) located right next to the apartment`s front door, a 3m2 cellar and communal bike storage. This unique, independent chalet-apartement is integrated between two attractive apartment buildings, and so enjoys privacy combined with all the benefits of a copropriété.

Whilst in a peaceful and bucolic environment located between Lake Geneva and the Mt Blanc, the apartment is far from isolated at less than 5 minutes walk (100m) from the local ski bus stop which is next to a bread dépôt, a popular ski-in hostel-bar that organises regular entertainment, and access to numerous hiking trails.

A 2-minute drive (car or ski bus) in the same direction is the Pierre Longue ski lift at Pré la Joux, with its nearby restaurants and shops. In the opposite direction, still on the ski bus route, is Linga village with the Linga ski lift, a number of bars, restaurants, small hotels and ski and mountain bike shops. A short distance further, at only 5 mins (3 kms) drive (car or ski bus) from the apartment, it`s picturesque Châtel centre with the Super Châtel ski lift and a wide choice of restaurants, shops and entertainment including mountain summer and winter sports, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, cinema, bowling, spa and more.

Local and international access to the apartment’s secteur of “du Linga” in Châtel couldn`t be more convenient at 1h50 from Geneva International Airport, 30m mins from Aigle train station and 45 mins from Thonon-les-Bains train station – with the Swiss Motorway only 20 mins away.

This new apartment, with reduced notaire fees and décennale guarantee, is therefore exceptional in its standing whilst providing a variety of quick access points to the Portes du Soleil ski area, the largest skiable area in France with ski access into Switzerland, and a choice of après ski and diverse leisure pursuits for all ages and seasons.
