Ski Chalets for Sale
The ultimate Alpine dream.
Luxury New Builds | Authentic Renovations | Family Lodges
Our ski chalets for sale in the French Alps, new-build and resale.
Domosno offers a carefully selected portfolio of ski chalets for sale across the French Alps — from traditional timber-clad properties to brand-new luxury chalets in prime resort locations. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic Alpine escape or a contemporary mountain retreat, our listings include both new-build and resale chalets to suit a variety of budgets and lifestyle goals.
New-build ski chalets deliver all the benefits of modern construction: energy efficiency, open-plan living spaces, high-end finishes, and features such as underfloor heating, large terraces, and integrated garages. Many new chalets are built by reputable Alpine developers and sold off-plan, giving buyers the opportunity to personalise layouts and interiors. They also benefit from reduced notary fees (typically 2–2.5%) and, in some cases, full VAT recovery if the property is rented under a managed leaseback scheme.
Resale chalets offer instant charm and are often located in established village settings with ski-in/ski-out access or walking distance to lifts.
Many come with features that buyers love — wood-burning fireplaces, exposed beams, panoramic balconies, and mature gardens. These chalets are ready to use, making them ideal for families who want to enjoy the mountains straight away or generate immediate rental income. Resale properties also tend to offer more generous plot sizes and character, especially in older hamlets or less commercialised resorts.
From intimate two-bedroom chalets to grand family lodges with spa areas and cinema rooms, we list properties in top destinations including Morzine, Chamonix, Les Gets, Megeve, and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. Prices vary widely depending on location, size, and specification — starting from around €500,000 and exceeding €5 million for premium high-altitude homes.
With over 20 years of Alpine property experience, Domosno is your trusted partner for buying a ski chalet in France. We guide you through every step of the process — from finding the right area to signing the final deed.

About Domosno Chalets
We Know the Terrain. Buying a chalet involves checks that apartment buyers don’t face: land surveys, snow-clearing access, heating oil tanks, and roof integrity.
For New Builds: We connect you with architects and developers to customise your floor plan before a single brick is laid.
For Resales: We help you assess the “bones” of a property, connecting you with local artisans to estimate renovation costs before you make an offer.
What is the difference between a Chalet and a "Demi-Chalet"?
A Chalet is a fully detached property standing on its own plot of land. A Demi-Chalet is semi-detached (usually a large chalet structure divided vertically into two completely private residences). Demi-chalets are an excellent way to get the chalet lifestyle at a lower entry price (often 20-30% cheaper).
I want a project. Can I buy an old barn to renovate?
Yes, this is a popular route on the Resale Ski Chalets market. However, be aware that French planning laws are strict. You must ensure the building is designated as “habitable” or that the PLU (Local Urban Plan) allows for change of use. We can help verify this for you.
Does owning a chalet mean more maintenance?
Generally, yes. Unlike an apartment where the Syndic (management company) handles the roof and snow clearing, a chalet owner is responsible for their own grounds. However, for our [link to New Build Ski Chalets], many developers now offer “Domaine” setups where a management company handles snow clearing and gardening for a small fee.
Can I reclaim VAT on a resale chalet?
No. The VAT reclaim scheme (recovering 20% of the price) is only available for new build properties that are rented out with services. Resale chalets are sold “tax paid.” However, the lower price per square metre of resale properties often balances this out.
How much deposit do I need for a chalet mortgage?
For a chalet purchase, French banks typically require a deposit of 20% to 30% of the purchase price, depending on your residency status. Because chalets are high-value freehold assets, they are very attractive to lenders.
