House Les Saisies - Les Saisies
€488,800
- £404,873**
Built in 1995 and impeccably maintained, this modern chalet combines the tranquillity of a peaceful mountain hamlet with the convenience of being just 10 minutes by car from Albertville and its extensive range of shops, restaurants and services.
Set on a generous 1,600 m² plot, the property enjoys beautiful mountain views and offers several spacious terraces, extensive outdoor areas, a summer kitchen, garage, workshop and ample parking. The chalet provides comfortable family accommodation with three bedrooms, while the adjoining 20m² storeroom offers excellent potential to create additional living space.
Queige village centre is less than 10 minutes away, while the ski resorts of Arêches-Beaufort, Crest-Voland and Les Saisies can all be reached in under 30 minutes.
The Property
The main entrance opens into an open-plan hallway leading directly into the bright 17 m² living room, which flows naturally into the generous 30 m² kitchen and dining area.
Large double-glazed windows and glazed doors flood the living spaces with natural light while providing views of the surrounding mountains. Two sets of glazed doors open directly onto the terraces, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior during the warmer months.
The spacious open-plan kitchen provides plenty of room for both cooking and entertaining, while the living room offers a comfortable space to relax. During the winter, a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point and supplements the oil-fired central heating with radiators throughout the house.
A large family bathroom and separate WC complete this floor.
Also on the ground floor, an adjoining storeroom of more than 20 m² is currently accessed from outside. This space offers interesting potential and could be connected internally to the main house to create additional living accommodation, a ground-floor bedroom, a games room, office or other useful space.
First Floor
A wooden staircase leads from the entrance hall to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms and an open-plan landing area beneath the eaves, currently used as an office.
The current layout offers three double bedrooms, while one of the bedrooms already has plumbing provision that could allow it to be converted into an additional bathroom with WC, if required.
Basement, Garage & Workshop
The ground-floor hallway also provides access to the substantial basement level.
The basement comprises:
• Large 7 m² storage area
• 17 m² boiler/utility room
• 40 m² garage with inspection pit, ideal for car enthusiasts or mechanical work
• 10 m² workshop
Outside the garage, there is additional parking for four cars, making the property particularly practical for families, guests or those with several vehicles.
Outside
The chalet occupies a generous 1,600 m² plot with mountain views from numerous areas around the property.
Several large terraces provide plenty of space for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and entertaining family and friends. A substantial covered shelter incorporates a summer kitchen and traditional water trough, creating a particularly attractive space for enjoying long summer evenings.
With such generous outdoor space, there are plenty of opportunities to find either a sunny position or a shaded area during the warmer months. A further terrace provides an ideal location for a temporary above-ground swimming pool, allowing you to relax and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.
The combination of terraces, garden areas and mountain views gives the property a wonderful outdoor lifestyle.
Location & Activities
The property is ideally positioned for enjoying the mountains while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities.
Queige village centre is less than 10 minutes away, while Albertville is approximately 10 minutes by car and provides a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and other services.
For outdoor enthusiasts, there is an abundance of activities nearby, including hiking, cycling, swimming and numerous other mountain pursuits. Lake Annecy can be reached in just over 30 minutes, with several other lakes and mountain destinations also within easy reach.
Winter sports enthusiasts are particularly well placed, with Arêches-Beaufort, Crest-Voland and Les Saisies all accessible in under 30 minutes. Numerous other renowned Alpine ski areas, including the Three Valleys, can be reached in under an hour.
Chambéry Airport is less than an hour away, while both Lyon and Geneva international airports are approximately 90 minutes by car.
In Summary
This well-maintained modern chalet offers an attractive combination of peaceful mountain living, generous outdoor space, beautiful views and excellent accessibility.
With three bedrooms, spacious living areas, extensive basement and workshop facilities, ample parking and the potential to create additional accommodation, it would make an excellent family home, mountain retreat or holiday property.
Its location offers the best of both worlds: the tranquillity of a mountain hamlet surrounded by nature, while being just minutes from Albertville and within easy reach of some of the French Alps' most popular ski resorts and outdoor destinations.

This newly completed ski area is a hit. It brings together some of the prettiest ski resorts in the Alps, and when you’re floating around on the super light snow found in the area there is one word that sums up the experience of skiing this domain – scenery – it’s really pretty, it’s really stunning.
For much of the skiing you are under the watchful eye of Mont Blanc the highest peak in Western Europe, which provides a sensational backdrop to any activity. The snow record for this area is exemplary and opens from mid Dec to late April in spite of being a relatively low area; they call it the Mont Blanc effect. Snow seems to fall here when surrounding resorts are not being so lucky and many a time I’ve been over to find fresh thigh deep powder when all around are praying for snow.
It is made up of five resorts; Crest Voland Cohennoz, Flumet, Hautluce, Notre-dame de Bellecombe, Praz sur Arly and Les Saisies and most of these resorts have their own satellite villages and resorts such as Bisanne 1500 which, whilst it has its own lifts, is classified as part of Les Saisies.
The Espace Diamant has 185kms of marked piste; 31 green runs, 59 blues, 47 red and 11 black, so something for everyone and in addition 4 bordercross trails and 3 snowparks add to the ensemble. Because of the newness of the area the lift system is good and efficient.
This whole area is extremely good for families; it is not for the full on party animals but there is a pleasant vibe in these resorts. In the summer the place is absolutely stunning; incredible vistas and flower meadows take the breath away and it is a great place for all types of mountain adventures whether of the gourmet, relaxing kind or full on adrenalin kind!
Les Saisies is a stunning ski resort sitting at 1650m in an ideal location between two magnificent areas of Savoie. Lying between two valleys, the Beaufortain and the Val d'Arly, les Saisies is a ski area with breathtaking panoramic views of Mont Blanc which will catch your eye at every turn.
It is also well located from a travel point of view just 30 km from Albertville and about 1hr30 from Geneva airport. In winter, Les Saisies has one of the best snowfall and sunshine records in the Alps. In addition it is part of the Espace Diamant ski area which covers 185 km of slopes and includes 5 resorts: Les Saisies, Crest Volant Cohennoz, Notre Dame de Bellecombe, Flumet and Praz sur Arly.
There is skiing for all and les Saisies is very suited to family skiing. There are lots of powder fields about, which once you get to know the resort, you can hunt out when new snow falls. This is a very welcoming village with traditional wood and stone architecture that in the main blends well with the mountain scenery.
The village is lovely, in particular I like to stop at the boulangerie/patisserie as they really do know how to bake crowd pleasers – the myrtille and almond tarts are fabulous! The village and the resort is aimed at the family skiers and young groups that come to enjoy their skiing, like to socialise but aren’t needful of wild partying.
This resort is about skiing so the evenings are based around good meals, good conversation, having a few drinks then collapsing into bed ready to make the most of your ski day. Of course they have live music and there are bar that keep rocking until the early hours but overall that is not its focus.
There are extensive cross-country ski areas and a wide range of other activities (snowmobiling, paragliding, snowshoeing, torchlight descents, snowkarting, cinema, etc). I like this resort but it is not well known amongst the British which means prices are sensible and properties are more affordable and it has retained its authentic French feel.
