With new releases in the resort very uncommon and being built by a local developer whose properties are highly sought after and who has been building properties in the mountains for over 40 years, apartments will be just 2 minutes walk to the centre and all amenities.

The photos shown are just a few examples of the many developments completed and are designed to show the finishes to be achieved. The apartment will enjoy:

• Old wood partitioned walls

• Floor tiles 60 x 60
• Bathrooms with 120 x 60 sandstone tiles
• Italian showers

Delivered with a ski locker for 8 sets skis and boot warmers, the apartment comes with a private cellar and two interior garage parking spaces.

This apartment is being sold as Classic Freehold, with no obligation to rent. However for those wishing to rent, as this is a brand new propertiy, there is the option to reclaim the VAT of 20% at the end of construction giving an ex VAT price of €741,667.
