Les Olympiades are located a walk away from the centre of Les Contamines village, and are set back from the main road and any traffic noise. They have lovely views towards the surrounding mountains and the ski bus stops at the end of the road to take you to the lift station a few minutes away.

Plans shown here are suggested layouts only. The Triplex will be delivered as a blank shells with no internal walls so buyers are free to imagine their own layout. (Subject to technical constraints such as how the water pipes run in the building).

Apartment 5 is a triplex (set over 3 floors) with both a front and sunny south-eastern rear garden. It has balconies on both aspects and its generous 84m2 surface area with additional 56m2 under the eaves, would easily allow the creation of a 3/4 bedroom home. It comes with a ski locker.

Buying a property off plan allows for numerous benefits. Notaire fees are based on a lower purchase price compared to buying such an apartment in a finished state. Not only this, but VAT is not included on the sale in this instance, which immediately saves 20%. And finally, the works will benefit from a reduced VAT rate of 10%, rather than the usual 20% (if using local artisans).


A contribution is included in the price and proportional to the apartment size for the communual works which cover new windows, front doors, perimeter and roof insulation, arrival of services, new guttering and exterior woodwork).

The cost of finishing the apartments internally is likely to be in the region of 1000-1200 €/m2.

So in total, an estimation of the investment required will be:

Apartment shell and contribution to building renov. + approx personal renovation costs + garage

284 672€ + (1000x 84+56m2= 140K) + 18K= 442K€ Approximate TOTAL COST for project.
This is a great price for a 140m2 of liveable space with garage and garden

Please note, in addition to the property there is the obligation to buy a closed garage on site for 18,000 Euros TTC or parking at 6,000 Euros
