Luxury Chalets for Sale in Switzerland

Many of our luxury chalets for sale in Switzerland combine impressive mountain views with spacious interiors, local wood and stone, and hand-crafted furniture.

Most modern Swiss chalets are designed around large, open-plan living areas, with floor-to-ceiling windows and open fireplaces to create a welcoming space.

Orientation and aspect play a key part in chalet design. Architects make sure the largest terraces and balconies catch the most sunshine and the best views.

Many modern chalets also come with wellness areas, saunas and swimming pools. Much of this space is not classed as living space, which lets Swiss architects and developers make the most of the 200 m² allowed to foreign buyers under Lex Koller.

Some new chalets, such as the L'Impériale chalets at the Hameau du Bain residence in Grimentz, are part of new hotel residences. These often come with full rental management, giving buyers a mix of private use and rental income, plus hotel-style facilities: the privacy of your own chalet with a spa, wellness and concierge services close by.

Chalets for Sale in the Swiss Alps

Our chalets for sale in the Swiss Alps are mainly in the canton of Valais. The Valais has a broad range of chalets, from charming villages such as Grimentz and Zinal to the world-famous ski resorts of Verbier and Crans-Montana.

Grimentz is particularly attractive for its historic wooden chalets and traditional village centre, while nearby Zinal offers a quieter mountain setting surrounded by dramatic Alpine scenery.

If you want a chalet in a large ski area, the 4 Vallées resorts of Veysonnaz, Nendaz, Verbier and Les Collons will appeal. Prices are highest in Verbier and fall as you head east towards Hérémence.

If you want to be close to Verbier at more affordable prices, La Tzoumaz is a good place to look, and there are usually more chalets for sale here than in Verbier itself. Some of the older chalets need renovating and can be great value for buyers happy to take on a project.

Wherever you look in Switzerland, make sure you understand the designation attached to any chalet. Under Lex Weber, new chalets can no longer be built as second homes, so if you want a holiday chalet you will need to wait for an existing owner to sell. If you are planning to move to Switzerland, you will have more options.

We sell across the whole of the Alps, so our advice starts with where you should buy, not with what we happen to have for sale.
