Alps & lakes
In the mountains and on the shores of the Alpine lakes, you do not buy an investment: you buy a place for the family to gather, used in winter as in summer, and often meant to pass to the children. It is this succession purpose that shapes the thinking.

A family property, between peaks and shores
From the resort-villages of the Arve valley to the shores of Lake Annecy, this area runs on two seasons: skiing and the mountains in winter, the water and hiking in summer. People look for a high-end chalet or apartment that brings several generations together, rather than a mere pied-à-terre. Megève, Combloux, Chamonix on the peaks side; Talloires, Évian, the lake shores on the water side: each has its atmosphere, but the same logic of family use.
It is an asset you keep for a long time and want to pass on whole. The question is almost never ‘for how long’, but ‘how to hand it down to the children without breaking it up’.
Rare and protected mountain and lakeside new-build
Altitude, local planning rules and the protection of shorelines limit buildable land: new-build here is rare and tightly regulated. High-end developments, in the heart of a resort or close to the water, meet strong and loyal demand, where build quality and family use matter more than any logic of return.
- Constrained land (altitude, planning, shoreline protection): scarce new-build.
- Strong, loyal demand for multi-generational family use.
- Build quality and durability to the fore.
- Classic wealth ownership, designed to last and to be passed on.

Request your studyPassing on a place without breaking it up
A family property intended for several children raises a question that is simple to state, delicate to settle: how to pass it on equally without one day having to sell it to divide it? Holding through a family SCI and gifting the shares gradually — sometimes only their bare ownership — are tools made for this. We set out the mechanics and the constraints; setting up the company and the pace of the gifts are decided with your notaire.
