About Les Sybelles Property
Local knowledge, personal advice and a genuine love of Les Sybelles
Buying a property in the French Alps is about much more than finding the right apartment or chalet. It is about finding a place you and your family will enjoy coming back to for years to come.
That is why knowing the area really matters.
We have been selling property in Les Sybelles since 2019, particularly in La Toussuire and St Sorlin d'Arves, and we know both villages well. We ski the domain ourselves, spend time in the resorts and know many of the developments and locations first-hand.
So when we talk about where you can ski from your door, what a particular part of the village feels like, or which mountain you can see from a balcony, it comes from personal experience.
And we know that choosing between La Toussuire and St Sorlin d'Arves is very personal. Each has its own character and appeal, and we have happy buyers in both. Our role isn't to tell you which village you should choose, but to help you understand the differences, answer your questions and find the place that feels right for you.
Our knowledge also extends beyond Les Sybelles. We sell property across the wider Maurienne valley, including Valloire, Valmeinier and St François Longchamp. If you are still deciding where in the French Alps to buy, that wider experience can be invaluable when comparing resorts, properties and the way you hope to use your home in the mountains.
The people behind Alpine Property Investments
Les Sybelles Property is part of Alpine Property Investments, established by Steve and Lesley Thomas in 2006 after they had bought their own home in the Alps.
Having been through the process themselves, they saw the value in giving other buyers the kind of first-hand knowledge and support they would want when making such an important purchase overseas.
Nearly two decades later, that same philosophy remains at the heart of the business.
Steve leads the property sales side, drawing on many years of experience across the French and Swiss Alps and an extensive knowledge of the resorts, developments and properties we offer. Lesley oversees the purchase process, helping clients through the different stages of buying in France and working with the professionals involved to keep everything moving towards completion.
Behind that personal approach is the wider experience and network Alpine Property Investments has built since 2006. We work across the French and Swiss Alps with developers, agents and other local professionals, offering an extensive portfolio of new-build and resale properties.
We can also help put buyers in touch with the right people for the other elements of an Alpine property purchase, from mortgages and currency exchange to legal and tax advice, furnishing and rental management.
First-hand knowledge of Les Sybelles
Les Sybelles is somewhere we know not simply through property, but from spending time here ourselves.
We ski the domain regularly, explore the villages and follow how the resorts and property market are developing. That means we can talk to you about more than square metres, floor plans and prices. We can help you think about what it might actually be like to own and spend time here.
Whether you are looking for a ski in and out apartment, a family chalet, a new-build property or simply somewhere in the mountains to call your own, we will take the time to understand what matters to you.
We believe the best property purchase starts with finding the right place first.
