Property Description
Few will have heard of Albiez-Montrond, a little gem of a resort in the Maurienne, Savoie, within 2 hours of Lyon, Geneva and Turin airports where plans are afoot to link this resort with the neighbouring Karellis for the next ski season to give an extended ski area of 110kms from 1500m to 2520m altitude.
The ski in / ski out development, Résidence Hôtelière de L’Ecrin, on the Col de Mollard, with its 43 apartments is scheduled for work to commence in the spring, with delivery mid 2023.
The Col de Mollard sits at 1638m and L’Ecrin will be just 80 metres from the Echaux chairlift. Mollard has restaurants, bars, and a supermarket but there is also a free shuttle bus, giving access to the resort of Albiez-Montrond at 1550m, just 1.7kms away.
Most of the apartments have 2 bedrooms or 1 bedroom with a bunk room but there are also 2 x 3 bedroom, 1 x 1 bedroom, and 3 x 3 bedroom with bunk room. They are mostly either south east or north west facing so all benefit from a sunny exposition.
