Abondance | Les Chalets des Cimes

Description

Brand new development in Abondance next door to the Essert chairlift (access to Abondance Essert’s own ski area),  near Châtel and the Portes du Soleil ski area (15-minute drive).

Set in the picturesque village of Abondance at an altitude of 1,000 metres, Les Chalets des Cimes captures the essence of alpine living. Designed to echo the character of local chalets, the development features warm materials, including wood cladding, natural stone, and exposed timber roofing. Wide balconies, generous overhangs, and traditional guardrails add to the aesthetic, while ensuring lasting durability and harmonious integration into the landscape.

This boutique residence comprises just two buildings surrounded by verdant grounds and mountain panoramas. Each apartment, ranging from two to four bedrooms, has been thoughtfully designed to combine style with function. Open—plan living areas, ample storage, and sunlit balconies or terraces offer ideal comfort for both holiday and year-round living. A private access road, underground parking, and secure bike storage enhance practicality, while high-performance insulation and eco-friendly heating deliver sustainable warmth throughout the seasons (heating and hot water supplied via the municipal district heating network).

Marketed by Domosno, Les Chalets des Cimes stands out as a unique opportunity in a region where new-build offerings are increasingly rare. With Morzine just across the valley commanding nearly double the price per square metre, this development presents exceptional value in an equally privileged setting—ideal for discerning international buyers seeking alpine authenticity and long-term lifestyle appeal.

What We Like
Nestled in the heart of the Haute-Savoie, just 50 metres from the Essert cable car, Les Chalets des Cimes is a rare alpine retreat offering timeless chalet architecture and immediate access to one of the world’s largest ski domains, the Portes du Soleil (10-minute drive from Châtel). The two low-rise buildings, inspired by traditional mountain chalets, blend beautifully with their wooded surroundings, offering sweeping mountain views and year-round serenity. This intimate development promises a lifestyle of alpine charm, contemporary comfort, and direct connection to nature—all within walking distance of village life. Also, next door is Les Cornettes, our favourite restaurant in the mountains!

The Abondance Esert ski area is small and cheerful, like many resorts used to be! It’s a family-friendly (mostly blue and green slopes), old-school mountain atmosphere guaranteed. Most important of all, there are plenty of friendly people! And if you want more hardcore skiing, drive 15 minutes to Chatel and the Portes du Soleil.
