House La Plagne - La Plagne
€430,000 €409,000
- £338,775**
Just minutes from the slopes of Montalbert, La Plagne, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom village house is an ideal Alpine holiday home with the added advantage of an established summer and winter rental history.
Sold furnished and ready to enjoy, the property combines traditional Savoyard character with an exceptional quality of finish, including a sauna, wood-burning stove, 11m² terrace and private parking.
For buyers wishing to generate rental income when they are not using the property themselves, the current owners can also offer local concierge/property-management services, providing a particularly straightforward solution for second-home owners living elsewhere.
On your doorstep is world class skiing; Paradiski, the La Plagne and Les Arcs resorts combined has 425km of pistes to explore. Longefoy village sits on a gorgeous plateau with walks, mountain biking and climbing all to be explored.
For a detailed description please click on READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION below
The house is on three floors.
The terrace to the front of the house is 11m² and then you walk into a small entrance area with a wrought-iron staircase.
The kitchen-dining area is 21m², plenty of space for comfortable dining. The fitted kitchen has "vieux bois" façades but the drawers and cupboards are all soft-close so whilst it looks like an original chalet kitchen, it has all the modern comforts.
Off the kitchen is a bathroom and there is a separate toilet.
The top floor is dedicated to a superb 22m² living room and is one of the highlights of the house. Exposed stone walls, a wood-burning stove and large windows create a wonderfully light but cosy Alpine living space – exactly the sort of room you want to come back to after a day on the mountain.
The two bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master bedroom is 10,5m² and has an ensuite shower room.
Down the corridor is the sauna and shower.
At the end of the corridor is the second bedroom, 10,11m² and comes with built in bunks with space for two beds or a small double underneath. Again, all lovingly handmade to an exceptional standard.
Access to the village
Longefoy is a traditional year-round village just below Montalbert, with the ski slopes approximately 2km away. The town of Aime is a short drive down the valley, with shops, restaurants, supermarkets and its railway station, served by direct TGV services during the winter season.
The advantage of Longefoy is that you have a genuine year-round Savoyard village rather than a purpose-built ski resort, while the slopes of Montalbert are only 2km away.
The airports of Lyon and Geneva are 185km away and during the winter season Chambery and Grenoble airport also have flights for skiers.

Paradiski is the name of the joint La Plagne, Les Arcs, ski area linked together by the Vanoise Express cable car. Opened in December 2003,the Vanoise Express is currently the world's largest single span cable car; in fact there are two of them both capable of ferrying 200 people across the Ponthurin valley that divides the two areas. The journey and the views make for a spectacular 4-minute ride.In total Paradiski offers a HUGE 425 km of piste. Individually, La Plagne (225 km) and Les Arcs (200km) are significant ski areas in their own right and are both made up of different villages. In La Plagne the high altitude villages are Aime 2000, Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecote, Plagne Soleil, Plagne Villages and Plagne 1800. These are all situated between 1800m and 2100m and offer snowsure high altitude ski in ski out convenience.Lower down the delightful villages of Montchavin, Les Coches, Montalbert and Champagny en Vanoise all offer the charm and cosy comfort of village life, with their own tree lined local slopes and easy access to the high altitude slopes of La Plagne.In Les Arcs the high altitude villages are Arcs 1600, Arcs 1800, Arcs 2000 and, the latest development, Arcs 1950. Again these all offer a ski in ski out experience. Great cruising runs through the trees lead to the lower villages of Plan Peisey, Vallandry and Villaroger for a more traditional mountain experience.Both La Plagne and Les Arcs offer something for everyone. Early intermediate blue and red run skiers can soon explore the area and travel around the mountain enjoying some of the good value mountain restaurants.However with two glaciers at over 3,000m, a wealth of "between the piste" and off piste and long runs through the trees, there really is something for all levels of skier - and let's not forget you boarders out there - both resorts offer a choice of snowparks with jumps, rails and the all important, music. La Plagne, Les Arcs, Paradiski - one of the world's great ski areas.
La Plagne is one of France’s largest and most popular ski resorts. It is also extremely popular with British skiers and boarders who make up around 35% of the visitors to this great resort. With some 225 km. of piste, continual upgrading of the lift facilities and slopes for all standards of skier there is something for everybody. If this is not enough for you the amazing Vanoise Express double decker gondola link to Les Arcs opens up another 200km. of slopes.
The joint La Plagne, Les Arcs, PARADISKI ski domain is one of the world’s truly great fully linked ski areas. La Plagne is not just one resort but a collection of ski villages, 6 at high altitude and 4 further down the mountain, each with their own shops, restaurants, bars and ski schools.
At high altitude the 6 villages are; Aime La Plagne (2100m),Belle Plagne(2050m),Plagne Villages/Soleil(2050m),Plagne Bellecote(1930m),Plagne Centre(1970m) and Plagne 1800(1800m). Of these the pitched roof chalet style of Belle Plagne, Plagne Villages/Soleil and Plagne 1800 are the most attractive to British eyes. However the other three are not without their fans and offer ski in ski out convenience and some great value accommodation.
The original la Plagne, Plagne Centre, is undergoing a considerable facelift and next year work begins on the indoor shopping and restaurant areas. Lower down the mountain there are more traditional villages. Les Coches at 1450 m has been purpose built in a pleasing chalet style and recent lift improvements have transformed access to the higher slopes.
Champagny en Vanoise (1250m) and, in particular, Montchavin(1250m) and Montalbert(1350m) have retained their rustic farming charm and have a strong following amongst British clients. Between them the villages of La Plagne offer something for everyone. There are wide, cruising blue slopes for the less confident or those “hot chocolate” skiers amongst you with tough blacks and a wealth of off piste for the stronger /more adventurous skier. Boarders have not been forgotten with a variety of Terrain parks on offer.
Accommodation varies from simple, great value, ski in ski out studios and apartments to luxury new build apartments and chalets.
