Les Chalets des Oursons, Crest Voland/Cohennoz, Savoie, France

High quality outright purchase development in charming village of Cohennoz in the ‘Escape Diamant’

Hidden deep in the mountains well away from the big purpose built resorts this undiscovered gem will allow you to truly experience mountain life.

The two villages of Crest-Voland and Cohennoz are situated side by side amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe. These traditional unspoilt Savoyard villages were used to living in the shadow of their famous neighbours Megeve (20 min) and La Clusaz (30 min) but are now starting to gain new popularity since their skiing area went from 28 runs (35 km) to a fantastic 146 runs (185 km) of downhill skiing thanks to the creation of L'Espace Diamant in December 2005. It might also be linked to the Megeve skiing area in the future, once an environmentally-friendly solution is devised to protect untouched parts of these mountains.

Located on the frontier between Savoie and Haute-Savoie, they benefit from a unique central location taking full advantage of the 15 skiing areas within 1h15 minutes drive including some of the most famous in the world: Megeve (0h20), La Clusaz (0h30), Les Contamines (0h30), Le Grand Massif (1h), Chamonix (1h), Les Portes du Soleil (1h15), Les 3 Vallees (1h10), Paradiski (1h10), etc .

The summer is equally enjoyable with warm weather and plenty of activities to choose from. Enjoy the quiet pace of these century old villages while benefitting from easy access to busier attractions such as golf courses (Megeve, Annecy, Chamonix, etc), Annecy lake (33 km), etc

The development has a prime location near the foot of the pistes at the edge of the forest just a short walk from the centre of Cohennoz. This authentic mountain hide-away is in the heart of nature in a quiet and sunny setting, with delightful open views.

This great all year round location enables you to enjoy the real mountain lifestyle, with easy access to one of the best skiing areas in the Alps and a beautiful traditional village. Prices here offer excellent value for money at the moment, but are certain to rise as more people discover this fantastic location
