Chalet Christine, Courchevel La Tania

Our chalet for sale in La Tania is an opportunity to acquire a unique property in one of the most popular resorts in the Alps. La Tania is part of the Courchevel Valley (Three Valleys) but it is located between Courchevel and Meribel. It is therefore easy to ski into either of the valleys from the top of the gondola lift. A perfect location for exploring the whole Three Valleys area!

The village of La Tania is also lively in the summer season of July and August. There are numerous alpine activities available in the village and the local area. The gondola lift opens for hiking and walking as well as for mountain bikes.

Facts & Figures

This chalet for sale is just above the gondola lift of La Tania. It is located in the lower part of the “chalet village” which was originally built just after the 1992 Winter Olympics. You can ski from the chalet driveway directly down to the lift but for the beginners or less confident, there is an elevator in the building next door which takes you down to the piste level. For evenings out, the village centre it just a 5 minute walk away!

Accommodation

The accommodation is over four levels and has a total floor space of approximately 415m2 (including some areas of the top floor which are lower than 1.8m height). There are 14 bedrooms in total and these are of various types. Most of the bedrooms are double or twin rooms with en-suite facilities. There are also four small bunk bedrooms which are designed for families with children or for single adult occupancy. In total the chalet can accommodate up to 28 people.

The original architect designed this chalet for sale for commercial rental and with it’s unique capacity, it has always delivered a very high rate of occupation when in rental. Equally, a new owner could remove some of the interior walls to reduce the number of bedrooms and increase their size. In this way, the chalet would become a beautiful family home.

The chalet divides into two equal halves, with a separate staircase for each side. On the main floor, there are two living rooms, each with a fireplace. The living rooms have a sliding wall to separate them if desired. Both halves of the chalet share the same dining room and kitchen.

On the basement level, there are large storage areas and four additional multi-purpose rooms, along with a shower room and WC, boot room with electric boot warmers and secondary food preparation area/laundry.

Development Opportunity

The chalet as it is built occupies approximately half of the building plot it is placed on. Some of the remaining plot is taken up by a small stream, which cannot be built – but there is the possibility to build approximately the same size property again as an extension or secondary building. Any development would be subject to approval from the council of course and the granting of planning permission.

Commercial Opportunity

The property is currently a commercial venture and owned in a rental company (SCI). If you are considering the purchase as a business venture, it is also possible to purchase the existing company to be able to easily start operation with a ready-made, reputable French business. The SCI is registered in Annecy with a long trading history at the chambers of commerce and also has all the necessary tax and TVA registrations.

The chalet is currently leased to a British tour operator. This lease may be negotiated for early termination in certain circumstances if the buyer wishes free occupation for himself. You may also continue with the current tenant and enjoy the benefit of an existing guaranteed income.

The chalet is in full compliance wtih all the fire safety regulations in France required of a property of this size. It has an ERP classification “2ème Groupe, catégorie 5, section O (20-100 personnes)”. The property is equipped with fire doors, fire alarm, emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. Annual inspections on the equipment are required. You must maintain a security book. A five yearly approval inspection is carried out by the local authorities. All inspections are up to date and documented (last local authority inspection in 2024).
