Presentation of the Alpe d'Huez agency
Born from the meeting of two major groups, the Alpe d'Huez real estate agency was founded in 2023 and developed by Groupe DeSavoie, a leader in the mountain tourism real estate sector. After the Tignes and La Plagne branches, it completes the Sotheby's International Realty network in the Northern Alps.
The Alpe d'Huez branch is located along the Avenue des Jeux, a shopping street in the heart of the Alpe d'Huez resort.
Like all other branches in the Sotheby's International Realty network, the Alpe d'Huez team benefits from the services of a branch manager, a sales assistant and several real estate negotiators.
This passionate team, with its expertise in mountain real estate investment, assists its customers in the sale and resale of chalets and apartments in Alpe d'Huez.
The Alpe d'Huez real estate market
Nestled in the Northern Alps, Alpe d'Huez is known for its upscale atmosphere, with picturesque apartments and wooden chalets adding to its village charm. Spread across seven districts, its clientele is mainly drawn from Belgium, the Paris region and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
This upscale clientele is generally looking for real estate located in the heart of the resort or close to the foot of the slopes. The Triangle d'Or, which dominates the resort, and the Altiport are also increasingly popular areas for chalets.
Wooden chalets and apartments continue to dominate the market. Authentic and warm, they lend a friendly spirit and a certain charm to the resort.
Alpe d'Huez: history and heritage
Perched at an altitude of 1860 meters, Alpe d'Huez is a top-of-the-range winter and summer sports resort. It benefits from an incredible 300 days of sunshine a year, earning it the nickname “Île au Soleil”.
It was on the luminous slopes of Alpe d'Huez, developed since the 1920s, that the bobsleigh event of the 1968 Winter Olympics took place. Subsequently, the resort gained in popularity, as much for its advantageous geography as for its prestigious services. A skier's paradise, it belongs to France's largest ski areas and is home to the Sarenne piste. At 16 km long, it is known as Europe's longest black run.
Many other winter activities are on offer: snowboarding, sledging, skating, dog sledding, ice hockey... A multitude of winter sports are available for thrill-seekers and fun-lovers alike. In summer, paragliding, hiking, biking and mountain biking are all part of the resort's success. Culture also takes center stage: music and film festivals punctuate the year, bringing a festive atmosphere to the area.
