Radia AMAR - 17 July 2019

Much appreciated in winter but also in summer, La Clusaz and Les Gets offer an ever wider array of activities aiming to appeal to summertime holidaymakers keen on green vacations.

Launched in 1989, Arvis Immo can claim expert knowledge of the market in La Clusaz. Specializing in sales of apartments, chalets and land, the agency also distinguishes itself for the efficiency and quality of its holiday rentals and management service, as well as its partnership with the Rives du Lac agency in Veyrier-du-Lac, enabling it to make a unique lake-plus-mountains proposal. “Mostly French with a few Belgian, English and Swiss buyers, our clients target apartments in the centre of the village at prices ranging from 200,000 to 600,000 €, or comfortable chalets from 1 to 4 million euros,” explains agency manager Joël Baud. Ideally located between Annecy and Geneva, the village resort of La Clusaz has developed by focusing on outdoor activities appreciated in all four seasons. “In La Clusaz, skiing is definitely the N°1 wintertime activity, but other sports such as mountain biking appeal to a growing summertime clientele. Add shops and amenities open year-round, plus a wide choice of entertainment for the entire family, and you understand why our address has become more and more popular.” Rather narrow, the property market nevertheless posts prices that have stabilized over the past year. Here, a 1-bedroom apartment in a good location can be envisaged from 250,000 €, and a chalet from 900,000 €. “Real partners for our clients, we make it a point of honour to assist them throughout the entire procedure. Clients who have bought properties through the agency can entrust them to us in their absence. We select tenants for them, whom we pamper in order to guarantee their total satisfaction. From house cleaning, the delivery of wood, hire of additional equipment, to restaurant reservations, purchasing of ski passes, and even the services of a home chef, we offer them a wide array of services, like a hotel conciergerie.”
