New High End Chalet, Ski In Ski Out At 2,000 M – Vars

There are mornings unlike any other. You open the shutters, the sun is already hitting the snow, the peaks stand out against a deep blue sky. Fifty meters away, the Fontbonne chairlift heads to the slopes. You put on your skis right outside your door, and in the evening, you ski back down to the chalet without ever taking them off.

The Cerille Agency presents a rare property for sale: a new high-end chalet, with elegant and refined features, nestled in the heart of the Hameau des Rennes, in Vars. A discreet address where the comfort of a family home, the authenticity of the mountains, and the flexibility of a genuine investment meet.

AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDRESS, AT 2,000 METERS

The chalet is located at 2,000 meters altitude, in the pristine setting of the Hameau des Rennes. At this elevation, snow is guaranteed throughout the season, the air is crisp, the light brilliant, and the view opens wide over the surrounding mountain ranges.

The location is one of those scarcely found in ski resorts anymore. The Fontbonne chairlift is 50 meters away. The return is ski-in ski-out to the chalet. Shops, restaurants, and rental shops are 200 meters away, and the resort center is 400 meters.

Life here is car-free, peaceful, in a preserved environment, while having the resort within walking distance. Children walk to ski school, skiers are first on the slopes, and everyone comes back for lunch whenever they want. This luxury, the time saved and freedom regained, is what gives value to ski-in ski-out chalets.

A CHALET, SEVERAL LIVES

This chalet’s great strength is its layout. Built on four levels, it harmoniously combines two independent apartments and, on the ground floor, an autonomous suite. Each space has its own access and bathrooms, and each apartment its own ski locker.

For a large family, it promises a successful holiday. Parents, children, grandparents, friends: everyone has their space, privacy, and pace. They gather for breakfast, ski together, and in the evening, the whole group gathers around the stove. Generations live under the same roof without ever disturbing each other.

The autonomous suite on the ground floor offers valuable independence. It welcomes grandparents who enjoy their tranquility, a couple of friends, teenagers, or a guest who deserves special attention. With its bathroom, it naturally extends one of the apartments and increases the chalet’s accommodation capacity.

It is also possible to purchase only one of the apartments.

THE INTERIOR: THE WARMTH OF A CHALET, THE COMFORT OF NEW

The chalet is designed to satisfy the most demanding buyers. Finishes are meticulous, materials chosen for durability, volumes thought for mountain living. Entrances are made to store shoes and ski suits, ski lockers avoid cluttering living spaces, and bedrooms offer the deep rest found only after a day on the slopes.

Six bedrooms and one sleeping corner accommodate up to fourteen people. Six bathrooms and six WCs: everyone has their bathroom, even when the chalet is full. No more waiting in the morning, no more compromises during holidays. It’s a small detail that changes everything in a family home and makes all the difference for renters.

Two garages, including one double, shelter vehicles from snow and frost. In the mountains, it’s a luxury appreciated every winter morning and a rarity that counts when reselling.

MODERN COMFORT, ENERGY PERFORMANCE

The recent construction guarantees quality amenities and excellent energy efficiency.

Electric underfloor heating radiates a gentle, even warmth in every room without radiators cluttering the walls. A wood stove brings the soul of a chalet: the crackle of fire, the light of flames, warmth shared after a day of skiing. A thermodynamic hot water tank ensures economical hot water production, and high-performance insulation keeps heat inside when cold settles outside.

Delivered new, the chalet is ready to be occupied or rented immediately. No work, no upgrades, no waiting. A turnkey property in the fullest sense.

AN INVESTMENT THAT WORKS FOR YOU

High-capacity, new, ski-in ski-out chalets are rare in the Southern Alps. It’s precisely what families and groups of friends look for for Christmas, New Year, and February holidays, the most sought-after weeks of the season, often booked months in advance.

The chalet’s layout allows several strategies.

You can occupy one apartment and rent the other. You enjoy the mountain when you want, and renting the other apartment helps reduce your expenses and finance part of your purchase.

You can also rent the entire chalet to large groups during school holidays and rent each apartment separately for the rest of the season to smaller families. The calendar fills more easily, even outside peak times.

Finally, summer extends the season: hikers, mountain bikers, and families seeking coolness make Vars an increasingly popular destination when the city heat rises.

As an indication, based on rates practiced in Vars for similarly sized chalets, the Cerille Agency estimates gross rental income for the entire chalet between €65,000 and €90,000 per year, depending on the season, occupancy rate, and service level. This estimate is non-contractual and before management fees, charges, and taxes. A detailed simulation is available upon request.

New construction is also an asset in light of new tourism rental regulations, increasingly demanding on housing energy performance. Where many older chalets will need renovations, this one is ready for the coming years.

VARS, THE SUNNY RESORT

Vars is known for its exceptional sunshine, with nearly 300 days of sun per year. In the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, between Queyras and Ubaye, the resort offers the best of the Southern Alps: light, pure air, and quality snow.

In winter, Vars provides access to the La Forêt Blanche ski area, shared with Risoul: 185 km of slopes, from 1,650 to 2,750 meters altitude. Wide sunlit slopes for families, challenging routes for expert skiers, larch forests, and large high-altitude spaces: everyone finds their playground, from beginner to expert.

Vars is also a land of records. On the Chabrières slope, the resort hosts the Speed Masters each year, with the ski speed world championship and world record attempts. An international reputation that attests to the exceptional quality of its domain.

In summer, the resort changes face without losing its appeal. Hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, outdoor activities: the mountains become a wonderful playground, and the chalet an ideal base for family holidays, away from city heat and hustle.

A DAY AT THE HAMEAU DES RENNES

The sun rises over the peaks. Breakfast is taken with the view, while children put on their ski suits and skis wait in the locker. Fifty meters on foot, and you are at the Fontbonne chairlift, among the first on freshly groomed slopes.

At noon, you have lunch in the sun on a high-altitude terrace or return to the chalet ski-in ski-out. In the afternoon, some go skiing again, others stroll the resort shops two hundred meters away or enjoy the chalet’s tranquility.

In the evening, the house comes alive. The stove crackles, the table is set, tales of the day are told. Then everyone returns to their apartment or suite, in the mountain’s silence. The next day, it all starts again.

WHO IS THIS CHALET FOR

Families dreaming of a mountain home to gather three generations without anyone stepping on each other’s toes.

Ski lovers who don’t want to lose a minute between their door and the slopes.

Investors looking for a rare, new, well-located, and easy-to-rent asset in a renowned resort.

AN EXCEPTIONAL ASSET INVESTMENT

Whether you’re seeking a prestigious family residence, a mountain pied-à-terre, or a high-performing rental investment in one of the sunniest French Alps resorts, this chalet combines all the assets of a rare property: altitude, ski-in ski-out, new, capacity, and flexibility.

Properties with all these qualities can be counted on one hand. This one is a unique opportunity to discover without delay.
