Originally part of Megeve, Praz-sur-Arly gained independence in 1869 . Despite its proximity to Megeve its property prices are far more reasonable, averaging around 3,700 euro / m2.
Due its compact size almost all of Praz-sur-Arly is walking distance to the lifts and the town centre. Buyers tend to look for apartments and chalets for sale on the sunnier ‘north-side’ of the village.
The first ever school skiing lessons were undertaken in Praz-sur-Arly in 1950 so it has a long history of winter sports! Nowadays it is part of the Espace Diamant with 85 ski lifts and 157 run s extending over 192kms of piste.
The skiing is very family friendly with plenty of long, tree-lined blue and red runs.
For a day out, neighbouring Megeve is only ten minutes away where the whole Evasion Mont Blanc ski region awaits – France’s fourth largest.
Praz-sur-Arly is a popular summer destination – particular for families with young children.
The area is also famous for its hot air ballooning where you will enjoy some of the most incredible views of Mont Blanc available!
When back on the ground, there are hundreds of kms of well-marked hiking and mountain biking trails as well as some great outdoor swimming areas in which to unwind.
