It has been virtually impossible to buy holiday homes in the Tyrol until now. This is one of only two developments in this province which have permission to be sold to foreigners as second homes and/or holiday homes.

11 of the 20 apartments have already been sold.

New regulations published by the Canton of Valais in May 2008 - six apartments can be sold to foreign buyers on a first come first served basis.

This would be perfect as a rental investment or weekend ski home as it has very easy access from Geneva and is part of the huge Verbier ski area. The chalet is in a prime position, just 150m from the new telecabine and the bottom of the ski piste. The chalet will have a spa with jacuzzi, sauna, a games room with pool table and a wine tasting room. Each apartment has a private wine cellar and you can enjoy a glass while your children soak in the hot tub! The photo shows a similar chalet built by the same developer.

The developer has received the building permit and delivery is scheduled for Summer 2010.
