In Part Two of this extended mini series, Steve and Lesley Thomas continue their exploration into helping listeners identify which Alpine resort best suits their lifestyle, travel preferences, and long term property goals.Following the response to Part One, and the volume of listener questions received, this originally planned two part series has now evolved into three episodes. This ensures there is time to properly explore each topic without rushing, allowing buyers to fully understand the wide range of lifestyle options available across the French Alps.This episode focuses on how second home buyers are increasingly choosing resorts based on year round activities and ease of access, not just skiing alone. Steve shares extensive insight into resorts that excel across multiple seasons, particularly for clients who want to combine winter sports with summer pursuits.Key topics:Resorts that offer both excellent skiing and world class road cyclingLocations synonymous with Tour de France stages and iconic mountain climbsSteve also explains how upcoming infrastructure projects, particularly the new international high speed rail connection through Saint Jean de Maurienne, are set to transform accessibility and future investment potential across the Maurienne Valley.Throughout the episode, listeners gain a clear understanding of how lifestyle priorities such as cycling, dining, sustainability, transport links, and summer enjoyment are increasingly shaping where buyers choose to own property in the Alps.This episode is ideal for second home buyers who want flexibility, dual season enjoyment, and long term relevance from their Alpine property.Property Featured in This Episodehttps://www.alpinepropertyinvestments.co.uk/properties/004990/This week’s Property of the Podcast highlights a brand new luxury residence in the highly sought after dual season and high altitude resort of Tignes Le Lac.Perfectly positioned ski in ski out at an altitude of 2100 metres, this rare off plan development offers direct access to the slopes and is located just 80 metres from the Palafour chairlift, close to shops, restaurants and resort amenities.The residence will comprise 25 apartments ranging from one to six bedrooms, with sizes from 37 to 160 square metres. Each apartment will feature generous outdoor space, mountain views, parquet flooring, underfloor heating, fully fitted kitchens, and wood panelling throughout the living areas and bedrooms.Built by a highly regarded Alpine developer, the project blends modern architecture with traditional Alpine styling and incorporates a curved design, green roof, and solar panels, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability.Owners will benefit from underground parking, private ski lockers, cellars, and access to a communal wellness area with hammam and sauna. A restaurant and three shops will be located on the ground floor, offering exceptional convenience.Prices range from €538,000 to €3,618,000.
