Dop Makelaars presents: Detached chalet with guesthouse in Bernex, French Alps

In a unique location in the magnificent French Alps, we proudly offer this detached chalet with separate guesthouse for sale. Built in 1989, the property is situated on a spacious private plot on the edge of the picturesque mountain village of Bernex, and offers unparalleled views over the valley and the surrounding imposing mountain peaks such as Dent d'Oche.

The chalet is located at Route des Nez 276 in Bernex, approximately 1 kilometer from the village center. Here you'll find various restaurants, shops, a bakery, and direct access to the local ski slopes of Bernex, a charming and family-friendly ski resort. This small-scale resort offers runs ranging from blue to black, making it ideal for skiers of all levels.

In addition, one of the largest and most prestigious ski areas in the world — Portes du Soleil — is only a short drive away. This immense ski area offers a staggering 650 kilometers of pistes across 12 French and Swiss alpine villages, including well-known names such as Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets, and Châtel. The area is known for its versatility, excellent snow conditions, and breathtaking mountain landscapes. Thanks to the interconnected villages via lifts and slopes, winter sports enthusiasts can explore endlessly without skiing the same run twice.

In summer, the region offers excellent hiking and mountain biking, suitable for both beginners and advanced enthusiasts. Lake Geneva is reachable within half an hour. Water sports, swimming, and barbecuing by the lake all contribute to a wide variety of summer activities. A favorite day for the current owner includes a mountain hike in the morning and a refreshing dip in the lake in the afternoon. Nearby towns such as Thonon and Evian are perfect for ending the day at one of the many local restaurants. From Evian, it's even possible to take a ferry to the Swiss side of the lake for a day trip to Lausanne or Montreux.

The chalet is easily accessible by car and by air.
