We are always available for helping with translation; we arrange and accompany you to meetings with for example the Notaire, Banks and Accountants and we are your guides when it comes to choosing the finishes you want from local suppliers.

Clients of chalet construction range from ski and mountain bike addicts, private chalet operators, those who have decided to change track or those who see the property as a pure investment [read the article]. People who already know and love our part of the Portes du Soleil have been attracted by its’ wide ranging appeal. Within easy reach of Channel ports and Geneva airport in the northern Alps, the area has 650km of interlinked pistes and over 800km of walking routes. It still has a charming real Alpine village feel with traditional working farms at the centre of the villages where produce can still be bought direct. The villages have bustling markets throughout the year and traditional family run restaurants and bars. The local architecture clad in snow or ablaze with geraniums with a backdrop of beautiful mountains creates a stunning environment to be in unlike the sterile feel of some other mountain resorts. On top of this it is an area which still has bags of potential.
