Why invest?


1)Premium location + limited supply = high capital appreciation

St Gervais benefits from a unique location sitting atop world renowned spas in the shadow of the stunning Mont Blanc massif. A location like this will always be in demand – irrespective of market conditions. As a site of outstanding natural beauty, the area is also subject to very strict planning controls whilst the physical constraints of the mountainous surroundings mean that access to land is very limited. This restricts future development and protects the future value of the property. With limited supply and demonstrable year round demand, the investment fundamentals are very strong.

2) Flexibility to use your apartment whenever you want

Unlike the leaseback scheme where you are tied into a 9 or 11 year lease with a management company and are restricted on the periods you can use your property; at Mont d’Arbois there are none of these restrictions.

All year-round activities:


As mentioned, St Gervais is much more than a winter destination – in fact, the summer season is almost as popular with visitors as the ski season. Crucially, the town is the most direct access route to the breathtaking scenery of the Mont-Blanc Massif – the “rooftop of Europe”. It is therefore a very popular starting point for walkers and climbers looking to take on some of the best mountain trails in Europe. Other key attractions are the water rafting in the nearby Arve river, paragliding, mountain biking, horse riding, and swimming in the natural lakes and local outdoor pool.

The local skiing in St Gervais is outstanding. In spite of their relatively low altitude, the ideal siting and orientation of Saint-Gervais’ slopes means there is no lack of fresh snow even when neighbouring resorts go without.

The Evasion area covers a huge amount of terrain and provides a massive variety of skiing with its lift and tramway network and the linking 6 resorts : Les Contamines, St Nicolas de Veroce, Combloux, Megeve, St Gervais and Les Houches.

If that isn’t enough to tire you out, then the pistes of Chamonix are also just a short drive away.
