Undoubtedly, one of the major attractions of choosing a ski chalet for sale over a ski apartment, is that there is more space for entertaining friends and family and more customisation opportunities to make your ski chalet feel extra special and perfectly suited to match your exact requirements. Having private space away from others has become more important for many of our clients, especially in a post-pandemic era. Of course, it is much easier to secure privacy from a ski chalet or semi-chalet than it is from an apartment.

From spas equipped with saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzis to gyms, swimming pools and even rock climbing walls – the sky really is the limit when it comes to wellness and leisure options in a ski chalet. In addition, thanks to their larger floor plans, it is easier to create extra entertainment spaces such as cinema rooms or games room. Extra social spaces are a must-have for large families as it offers separate places for the different generations to relax and have fun.

As well as spaces for unwinding, many ski chalets for sale have a range of practical rooms too such as dedicated ski rooms, laundry rooms and home offices – a great option for those who want to spend an extended period in the mountains.

Offering the aesthetic and feel of an individual ski chalet for sale at a lower price, semi ski chalets are becoming increasingly popular with buyers. Like a semi-detached house, a semi-chalet, sometimes called a demi chalet, is attached to one other property, spread across several floors and benefit from a private entrance.

These are two words that you’ll often see when exploring chalet floor plans, while the words are sometimes used interchangeably by developers, they are actually two distinct types of additional sleeping space designed for accommodating small children. For a young family, opting for a ski chalet for sale with a coin montagne or cabine instead of an individual bedroom for a child will usually work out significantly cheaper.

Cabines are essentially bunk bedrooms and are less than 10 sqm in area and may be windowless.

While coins montagne are bunk bed areas too, they are not always a separate room with a door. Instead, a coin montagne could simply be a bunk bed stowed away in an alcove.

Both options provide a comfortable space for children to sleep or flexible sleeping space to accommodate extra guests.

Buying a ski chalet for sale off-plan also gives owners the opportunity to really make their mark on the property and to customise it to suit their own personal preferences. 

Many developers allow clients to customise their ski chalet for sale by picking a colour scheme and type of wood, stone and other materials used from a selection of choices. This allows owners to create a ski chalet that reflects their own individual tastes.

It is often possible to customise the layout of the property by turning an extra bedroom into a wellness area, adding en-suite bathrooms to bedrooms and even reinforcing terraces so that you can have an outdoor jacuzzi fitted. Just like combining ski apartments, it is often possible to join two semi chalets to create a more spacious individual property.

Because of the close relationship we have with individual property developers, we are happy to be the liaison between you and the developer to explore various customisation requirements you may have.
