Property reference AAFA7505
€1,850,000
Positioned in the heart of Châtel within the Portes du Soleil, this new five-bedroom chalet combines contemporary alpine design with everyday practicality. Just 200 metres from the church and village centre, it offers rare walkable access to both amenities and skiing. With west-facing panoramic views and generous volume throughout, the property has been thoughtfully designed for modern mountain living, with the added benefit of fully customisable floorplans to suit individual requirements.
Spanning 181 sqm across three floors, with an additional 37 sqm internal garage for two cars, the chalet sits on a 575 sqm plot. It features five en-suite bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living and dining area opening onto a large terrace, and a bespoke kitchen with island and separate storage cellar. Wellness facilities include a sauna and gym with shower. A ski and boot room with secondary entrance enhances functionality, while construction is entrusted to a renowned chalet builder.
New-build chalets are rare in Châtel these days, and even more so in prime locations like this one, in the centre and only 5-min walk from the lifts.
New-build chalets in central Châtel are increasingly scarce, particularly those offering both walkable lift access and customisation options. As part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest ski areas in Europe, the property benefits from strong year-round rental demand. Its size, central location, and high-quality specification position it well for both personal use and seasonal letting, offering long-term value in a well-established and internationally recognised alpine destination.
Châtel is a traditional village forming part of the expansive Portes du Soleil ski domain, and offers seamless cross-border skiing into Switzerland. The chalet enjoys a central yet peaceful setting, just a short, easy walk along Route du Petit Châtel to the Super Châtel télécabine (400 metres), making ski access particularly convenient. Year-round, the resort provides a lively atmosphere with shops, restaurants, and outdoor activities, all within easy reach.
