Property: The Chalets aux Pieds des Pistes are the best value new chalets in the Verbier ski area. These traditional style three bedroom chalets are to be built at 1550m, just 200m from the chair lift which takes you up above 1850m. From there you ski down to Les Collons where the ski school meets, or take the new lift up to Etherolla 2450m and then ski over to Verbier. With 410km of piste this is the largest ski area in Switzerland. The piste back down to the chairlift has snow cannons so you will be able to ski almost home right to the end of the season.

This magnificent site is just opposite two floodlit tennis courts and faces East and South. As the site is steep each chalet has a clear view over the roofs of the chalets below to the stunning valley which leads to the pretty resort of Evolene, and the backdrop of the 4,000m peaks beyond.

The developer’s in-house architect team has designed a three bedroom chalet for under 600,000 Sfrs. They have made considerable savings by using cost–effective construction techniques, but without compromising their traditional high standards. The kitchens will be supplied by Poggenpohl and buyers will be able to choose the tiles, flooring and the finish of their chalet so that each chalet will be bespoke and will reflect the taste of the owner. The first phase to be released for sale includes just six three bedroom chalets at the top of the site and reservations are being taken now so the notary can apply for your foreign purchase permit. Construction will start in autumn 2010 with delivery of the first chalets in December 2011. Professional rental and management services are available if you wish to you’re your chalet when you are not using it. Foreigner purchase permits available. 5 out of 9 sold!

Owners will not be obliged to rent their chalets but as many of them would like to cover their ownership costs by renting a leading UK tour operator will set up a special dedicated website for the Pieds des Pistes which will create a premium brand and higher rents.

Resort: Les Collons is East and South facing with panoramic views of the Matterhorn situated at the end of the huge Verbier 4 Vallees ski area just 20 minutes from Sion and less than 2 hours from Geneva. At 1800m the village is snow sure with fast, direct access to the Verbier ski area with over 400km of pistes up to 3,330m offering the most challenging skiing in Switzerland.

In the press... "as Verbier’s property prices have climbed as high as its towering Mont-Fort peak and construction has neared its limits, the rest of the Four Valleys is coming into its own…."
