Based on the latest availability, there are just eight apartments remaining in ORMA, Briançon: six two-bedroom apartments and two four-bedroom penthouses, with prices from €320,000 including VAT, or €266,667 excluding VAT, up to €829,000 including VAT.
Modern Alpine living, exceptional value and one of the strongest price-per-square-metre opportunities in the French Alps.
Briançon has quietly become one of the Alps' most interesting property markets.
While many buyers immediately focus on resorts such as Chamonix, Megève or Méribel, Briançon offers something increasingly difficult to find: genuine year-round living, excellent skiing, UNESCO heritage, over 300 days of sunshine per year and prices that remain significantly below many better-known Alpine destinations.
The result is simple.
Stock is disappearing.
Today, only eight apartments remain available at ORMA, one of Briançon's newest residential developments.
Why Briançon Continues to Attract Buyers
Unlike purpose-built ski resorts, Briançon is a real Alpine town.
Situated at approximately 1,326 metres altitude, it is officially the highest city in France and enjoys an unusually dry Alpine climate. This translates into colder winters with reliable snow, bright sunshine and pleasant summers.
Residents benefit from:
- Direct access to the Serre Chevalier ski area
- Over 250 km of ski slopes
- Mountain biking
- Hiking
- Climbing
- Via Ferrata
- Rafting
- Thermal spas nearby
- A lively town centre throughout the year
For second-home owners this means the apartment is used far more than simply during the ski season.
Contemporary Alpine Architecture
ORMA has been designed very differently from the traditional heavy timber chalet style.
Instead, it combines clean modern architecture with Alpine materials including:
- Timber detailing
- Large aluminium windows
- Generous terraces
- Bright open-plan living spaces
- Excellent natural light
- Contemporary interiors designed for modern lifestyles
The development has also been designed to achieve NF Habitat certification, offering strong acoustic and thermal performance together with modern building standards.
Interiors Designed for Modern Alpine Life
Rather than creating dark traditional interiors, the specification focuses on bright contemporary finishes.
Highlights include:
- Large-format 60 × 60 cm porcelain floor tiles
- Aluminium double-glazed windows
- Electric roller shutters
- Connected Smart Home controls
- Grohe bathroom fittings
- Contemporary vanity units
- Large walk-in showers
- Collective biomass heating
- Ski locker for every apartment
- Boxed underground parking
The apartments have been designed to require very little maintenance while remaining highly practical for both permanent living and second-home ownership.
Scandinavian-Inspired Alpine Interiors
The interiors shown below illustrate how these apartments can be furnished to create a warm contemporary Alpine atmosphere.
The living room combines natural oak finishes, neutral colours, oversized glazing and a modern TV feature wall while maintaining the warm atmosphere buyers increasingly expect from premium Alpine residences.
Bedrooms are designed around calm natural tones, soft textiles and panoramic mountain views, creating comfortable year-round accommodation.
Bathrooms feature large-format porcelain tiles, suspended WC, walk-in shower, contemporary vanity unit and premium Grohe fittings, matching the development specification.

Suitable for Lifestyle Buyers and Investors
Briançon appeals to several different buyer profiles.
Many purchasers are looking for:
- A family ski apartment
- A retirement home in the Alps
- A year-round residence
- A second home with rental potential
- Long-term capital appreciation
The combination of strong local demand, limited new supply and increasing international interest continues to strengthen the town's position within the French Alpine property market.
