New 3 Bedroom Penthouse with Vaulted Ceiling near the Lifts, La Toussuire

Description

Under a vaulted timber ceiling, this new three-bedroom penthouse in La Toussuire can be moved into in December, as soon as the kitchen and built-in wardrobes have been installed. All three bedrooms are doubles and there are two balconies of 12.5 m² and 18.5 m².

It belongs to a small, west-facing residence clad in reclaimed timber and stone, three to four minutes' walk from the lifts and moments from the resort centre and you can ski back to within a short distance of the building. Underfloor heating comes as standard, a garage space comes with the apartment at no extra cost and the ski room has a large locker with heated boot warmers; private cellars can also be bought.

La Toussuire, at 1,800 m, has a pedestrianised centre that makes it a natural choice for families and it belongs to Les Sybelles – 310 km of pistes and the fourth-biggest interlinked domain in France. It joins up six pretty villages, four of them between 1,550 m and 1,800 m. Every link between them and a large share of the runs lie above 2,000 m, with the main hub at L'Ouillon (2,441 m); many slopes face north and more than 50% are covered by snowmaking, which keeps conditions reliable. Expect easy cruising, plenty of off-piste, long runs and big views.

Ownership is classic freehold with no rental obligation. Let it out when you are away and you can recover the 20% VAT on the price – ask us how. We have sold apartments in earlier residences here to British, Dutch, Belgian and French buyers. Two episodes of our Alpine Property Podcast (51 and 61) hear from a Dutch and a British owner who received the keys to their La Toussuire apartments in 2024 – find it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or ask us to send it.

For variety, the Orelle cable car, opened in 2021 and a 40-minute drive away, climbs from 900 m to 3,200 m in 19 minutes, reaching Cime Caron high above Val Thorens in the Three Valleys. The St François Longchamp/Valmorel (160 km) and Valloire/Valmeinier (165 km) areas are each a similar 40-minute drive; each needs its own lift pass, but together with Les Sybelles they put more than 1,235 km of skiing within reach.

Down in the valley, 20 minutes' drive away, St Jean de Maurienne is getting a new international station on the Paris–Lyon–Chambéry–Turin–Milan line, the biggest infrastructure scheme in Europe. Once it opens, Paris will be about three hours away, making La Toussuire the closest French Alps resort to central Paris – and we expect demand and prices to keep rising as a result. We can send you a video about the line.

Cyclists are spoilt too: the Maurienne Valley offers more than 800 km of linked routes and 13 cols and the Tour de France regularly passes through Les Sybelles.

To talk through the resort and the skiing, request the floor plan or arrange a visit, we would love to hear from you.
