Les Contamines

Les Contamines is a less well known ski area in the French alps and I just don't know why that is. Just over an hour from Geneva, soon to be linked to the Mont Blanc area and less busy than Chamonix and Megeve which are nearby, it is a real gem. Long the home from home of Parisians and Lyonnais it has now been discovered by us Brits as it has enough piste skiing for most and some great off piste too. Savoyarde style restaurants and bars serving local cuisine make this an ideal and safe family environment.


I was there yesterday looking at a renovated 68m² apartment in an old hotel. Near to the centre of Les Contamines, but in a quiet location, this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment will be finished in chablis and smoked wood. The easterly facing balcony is ideal for those morning coffees and the full width balcony is enough to avoid the cramped feeling you sometimes get from some apartments. It comes with all the guarantees of a new build apartment and you have a big say in how it will be finished, if you get in quick.
It comes with the usual cave and parking and the ski bus stop is 100m away and the asking price is 339,000€ which at under 5,000€/m² is very well priced for the French alps.
