I have loved coming to this region for the last twenty years after taking to snowboarding later in life at 30. Since then, I have returned almost every year for my annual snow fix, whilst balancing a richly varied career and young family in the UK.

My wife and I invested in Val d’Isère over a decade ago and then made it our forever home in 2021, with children now adults and of course having fallen for the beauty and continued snow surety of Espace Killy in winter over the past few decades.
After 5 years as a full-time resident of this natural wonderland, we embrace everything the mountains have to offer. As a competitive ultra-endurance athlete (UTMB), road cyclist, downhill mountain biker and all-round outdoorsman, there are few places on earth better for me personally. Having a lifelong obsession with real estate just provides the icing (or snow) on the cake.
As the sole agent working exclusively in Val d’Isère for Leggett International, I am well placed to advise on whatever you’d like to know about property available here, the seasons we enjoy and the endless list of pursuits you can enjoy in the Vanoise National Park. Add to that an international reach and a partnership that combines over 180 years of real estate experience, I showcase aspirational homes that are as beneficial to your wellbeing as they are to your return on investment.
I would love to speak to you about turning your own alpine aspirations into a reality and welcoming you to a town that has, at the last count, just 1570 residents year-round. Although we do have to share it with tourists for five months a year (and Team Visma Lease a Bike in neighbouring Tignes, from spring).
closeVal d’Isère has been a high mountain dream destination since the 1970’s and from its commanding glacial perch at the border with Italy, this characterful town humbly accepts a place in the hearts of both visitors and residents alike. The Olympian Jean-Claude Killy gave his family name to our 300km ski area, which enjoys snow surety from November to May, but also plays host to enthusiasts of cycling, trail running and motor tourism throughout summer.

The Olympian Jean-Claude Killy gave his family name to our 300km ski area, which enjoys snow surety from November to May, but also plays host to enthusiasts of cycling, trail running and motor tourism throughout summer.
Whilst our glacial peak is at 3650m above sea level, all properties in the town lie at between 1850m and 2100m, from the frontier hamlet of la Daille, to the last dwellings at le Fornet and those in Chatelard sitting in the Manchet valley. It is an extremely safe place to live, young children of the families here all year enjoy the most idyllic life imaginable and there are no traffic lights (or traffic). It helps if you adore snow, lots of snow, but with easy air and road
connections to the Cote d’Azur, this high alpine gem becomes accessible to those seeking a split between homes on the coast and up here in the high alps.
The range of new build development in our town can barely keep pace with demand, and with existing properties enjoying a ‘recession proof’ meteoric rise over the past three decades, investment here has driven the price per square metre (PSM) beyond those of Manhattan. Entry level resales start at 15,000 Euro PSM to 50,000 Euro PSM for high-end off plan developments with amenities and five-star levels of luxury and finish.
