Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. I plan to rent it out and also use it myself. Les gets was my first choice but chatel cheaper although les gets better skiing reds but then gets too busy? Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. I have run chalets in les gets and chatel. Les Gets is a very pretty village and quite a practical one but i would disagree that it has better skiing than chatel. There are perhaps several things to prefer about les gets but if you like 'reds' or are even a half decent skier the skiing accessible from chatel is more varied and extensive with much better access to the pds as a whole. Both towns are good but les gets is better for bars, both have good restaurants- chatel has some really good ones. There are too many cars and buses around chatel centre but i left les gets 2 years ago and that may have more now too. Les Gets is prettier and more 'user friendly. They are both good ski towns so it does come down to what you want. Chatel better skiing, les gets better town in my view. Les gets was getting pretty pricey when i left 2 years ago though and there is a lot of development. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? You need to Login to know who's really who. If it looks too good to be true Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. A recent article on leaseback in The Times. He was very clearly misled by one of the developers he spoke to. There are views from both sides. You'll need to Register first of course. No chance. Must be some swanky apartment at that price. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports After all it is free. There is only one reason developers offer these sale and leaseback arrangements and that is that they make more money with them than straightforward develop and sell, which should tell you that that the purchaser will make less. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. I would be very wary of leaseback arrangements. Access to the wider ski area would be better from Chatel than Les Gets. There was so much apartment building going on in Les Gets it was a little worrying. Lovely village - we were very happy in Les Gets for nearly twenty years in a chalet we built in and sold two years ago so we had the benefit of many holidays there while we were still working and then spending much longer periods there with lots of friends visiting in latter years, and our family used it frequently and it was a joy to see the eventual grandchildren setting off and flourishing on skis. OP needs to amend title to Chatel rather than Chapel. Ski the Net with snowHeads. Fightfilly You need to look through the thread archives and do a bit of reading-around the topic, as there's a lot of very useful discussion on them that may help your decide on a strategy. Otherwise, you'll just get a subset repeated on this one. It would be useful to understand what has led you to chose this particular location, out of all the thousands on offer across the Alps. You must have a clear set of criteria you're applying if you've gone for not just a specific location but a specific financing mechanism leaseback too. A bit of background within the constraints of anonymity, obvs will help in providing more focused advice. Do you have equity in a UK home that you could draw on to buy outright instead? Have you considered funding via a mortgage in France? I'm going to risk the ire of a number of owners who are happy with their leasebacks and say that I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole in the current circumstances. Actually, not even then, because for me, the risks would be too high. Which at the time we bought, was why I financed our apartment through equity in my UK home, and then transferred to a mortgage from a local Swiss bank, given their better interest charge rate. Quote: I'm going to risk the ire of a number of owners who are happy with their leasebacks I don't think we have many of them, and I don't recall anybody who has bought a leaseback, and subsequently sold it, and worked out a positive rate of return on their initial investment. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. And I read the last bit as being '.. You know it makes sense. Ricky B , so did I. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. I am also looking at new build there, but was wondering if it SISO and what is the village like in winter and summer. In summer is anything even open? Chatel is also an option, but prices look higher cf Chapelle. Many thx. Vendo , Welcome to snowHeads La Chapelle is lovely. There's a nice little boarder-X, plus you can easily get to the Torgon fun-park. Couple of nice resto's on the piste, plus amazing food in the village for such a small place. Les Cornettes is still great despite the chef dying a couple of years ago, l'Atelier de Jacky also very good, and my fave is le Fer Rouge microbrewery and restaurant. Its popular in the Summer, and like most places, only closes in the inter-season, but even then is better than Avoriaz, as its still a proper little village with bakery, medical centre etc Personally, unless you like drag lifts I would not recommend chapelle d'abondance for ski access. It is a bit of a schlep into the pds and the skiing around chapelle is pretty limited. It is a nice town but you would probably end up driving to Chatel to access the PDS conveniently. Fer rogue is great though! Depending on the price differential, I would say Chatel is a better investment and also a better base. Just my view though! Vendo , welcome. We have had an apartment in Chatel for over 20 years and really like the area. Local ski areas are nice and if you stay local the lift pass is cheap. Plenty of restaurants in addition to the good ones WindOfChange mentions and access by car to Pre La Joux or Linga is almost as quick as from Chatel once you deal with the congested centre. The area called Le Ryz would be my favourite I think. Thx for the replies, very helpful, so it sounds like it is not a complete 'ghost town' in summer, like I hear some resorts might be other threads I read. In terms of geography does anyone know when you lose the sun in the Chapelle village winter. Aspect wise I am looking at South but could go West facing, the location is m north of the first chair lift Breni or something , it looks like farmland so not one in front of me for now I guess. I thought the OP was renovating a Methodist chapel? Vendo , Hi. First of all La Chapelle is lovely! If you want to ski from Chatel you can drive or get the shuttle bus. If your prospective apartment is m north of Cret Beni you might lose the sunshine after about in mid Winter. Matt , that is exceptionally helpful. Vendo , Glad I could be of help! Let me know if you've got any other questions or if you'd fancy a chat. Here are my thoughts, that will probably create a fair amount if discussion. If you are going to buy somewhere, either outright or leaseback and are considering the long term you need to choose a high resort with a long season and good snow record. The snow will be pretty good even at the end of the season. I'd echo Topperski with respect to casting your net a bit wider and taking into account other factors like proximity to airport links and public transport, or summer activities and summer lift opening dates. And I'd also say no way should you be doing this remotely: it's much better to do some field work first, especially in the low seasons and ideally in the low and summer. When we were searching, we did two longer trips out and on each went 'round a number of places, in some staying overnight. We talked to the Tourist Office and the hotelier if we were staying over, to get the widest background about the various resorts. I appreciate that under current circumstances, this is really not feasible. But what I wouldn't do is buy at a distance: there are too many factors involved. Apologies to Fightfilly if you've already done all the groundwork, but it's just that the posts don't read as if you have. And there's always going to be confirmation bias if you ask for feedback about a specific resort - no one is going to say 'I wish I'd bought somewhere else. Topperski , LaForet , those are good points, and are echoed in many other threads I have read. Similar to Fightfilly , I am at initial due diligence stage. With respect to new builds circa 6k psm it seems clear to me that net yields are closer to My cashflow forecast 'at best' will just cover interest and routine running costs, stress testing the rental I could be down k per annum in net costs. This also seem to chime with threads from other owners who have been doing this for many years. The challenge I have is finding good value for money, which inevitably is a trade off btw location and price. I am also looking at Linga Any thoughts on Linga most appreciated Linga is a great location in Chatel. It is only a 15 minute walk to Chatel centre and all the buses stop at Linga. They are also moving the main bus station buses to thonon to connect to GVA from Chatel centre place d'eglise to Linga. Excellent location. Home run to Linga is a fast fun red. So worth doing some investigation for any candidate destination about whether this is available. But the storage has to be modern, with ventilated and heated cabinets in an heated underground room - not a locker in the freezing semi-outdoors. Vendo , Linga is a great location as far as access to skiing is concerned, but I think that little or no sunshine reaches it during the winter months. Great feedback all, thx. Matt , I am half expecting you to send me another skicam link! Vendo , Ha ha! But there is a serious point here. When we bought one of our decision criteria was that we wanted somewhere that we would enjoy staying in as well as just skiing from. Sunny terrace and a good view were key to us. Agree, the winter sun is very low, even in Chatel yesterday very sunny day the webcams show maybe 4hrs sun on the west facing slope above Eglise I guess you can't have everything, but sun hours are usually spent skiing or having lunch up on the piste. Hopefully in spring the higher sun does better Vendo , See how useful those webcams are! There used to be one on a chalet down our road and we used it to see if we would need chains.
