Let There Be Light…
The upstairs bedroom, mezzanine, and living room are bathed in sunlight thanks to large skylights – all equipped with solar-powered electric blinds. Here, light flows like a summer mountain stream… even in winter.

Practical Perks:
• A ski locker in the basement – because your gear deserves better than the hallway,
• Private parking space – a true golden nugget in the mountains,
• East-facing apartment with breathtaking views of Mont de Grange and, as the cherry on top, golden sunsets on the peaks.

Exterior
From the balcony, the view is wide open and truly impressive: you overlook the surrounding alpine peaks with a direct line of sight to Mont de Grange, one of the highest summits in the Haut-Chablais. Early risers are rewarded with stunning sunrises as the light slowly washes over the mountains and fills the valley below.

The building itself reflects authentic Savoyard charm, with clean façades clad in natural wood — that classic chalet style you'd expect from the Alps. The entire residence is well-maintained and blends perfectly into the natural landscape, giving you that picture-postcard alpine feel without sacrificing comfort.

Condo fees: around €120-130/month. 2005 residence, well-managed = no nasty surprises.
