Investment potential
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.
About the location

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.
