LES ARCS, a fashionable French ski resort in the Bourg-SaintMaurice in the Haute Tarentaise valley, looks like a magical scene off a Christmas card. With prices from just 95,000 to 135,000, and completions by March 2007, there is sure to be interest among ski enthusiasts hoping to buy themselves an early festive present.
The properties are large 20sq m (215sq ft) studios within the fully refurbished Hotel du Golf at the foot of the ski slopes. This is a leaseback scheme of 18 years with a guaranteed 4.5% index linked return. It is the largest hotel in the Savoie region with wonderful views: Mont Blanc to the north, and forest to the south.
Beside it is the village of Le Charvet with ski school, ice rink, cinema, restaurants, shops and even an 18 hole golf course. There are over 425m of slopes for all levels of skiers within the Paradiski domain, considered one of the most spectacular in the world, including two glaciers with peaks reaching an altitude over 3,000m and 175 ski lifts. The hotel is to have a spa, swimming pool, hot tub and other additional leisure facilities by late 2007.
Nearest destinations for flights ex Dublin are Lyon (197km from resort) and Geneva (166 km).
