Recommended Resorts

Our advice is based on 20 years selling property in the Alps and countless winter and summer visits. We sell property in the best ski and dual season resorts and are continually searching for new resorts to offer to discerning clients.

Switzerland still offers good value and there are many traditional villages in Switzerland which offer good high altitude skiing and traditional ambience at more reasonable prices than the better known French resorts. Austria is also tremendous value if you are looking for dual season use, short transfer times and you are willing to use you chalet as a base to visit many charming ski resorts.

A personal favourite - one of the most attractive, most easily accessible, dual season resorts in the Alps. Only 90 minutes from Geneva airport, and with excellent train connections, it is easy to visit for a long weekend. Villars has benefited from massive investment in recent years including three new high speed 4-man and 6-man chair-lifts, and two new 125-man cable cars on the glacier of Les Diablerets (accessible by skis from Villars) and snow making machines. An excellent resort for children and non-skiers.

Villars is an all year round resort, with a golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts and all the summer and winter facilities you would expect and some beautiful alpine villages nearby such as Gryon. The resort is up-market, a well-kept secret, a pleasure to visit at any time of the year. We have been working in Villars for 20 years and sell more property here than in any other resort. We also offer resales but here are our star buys:
