Four thousand square feet above the Tarentaise. Ten minutes from a confirmed 2030 Olympic venue, twenty from the Trois Vallées. Owned outright, awaiting €250,000 and a considered hand.
A material palette drawn from the valley itself — nothing imported, nothing decorative. Living quarters sit above so the mountains meet you first, and the terrace opens south to hold the light until it goes.
A long table that seats twelve. A fire that stays lit. Boots by the door and something slow in the oven. Le 516 is conceived less as a rental than as a house you are lent for a week — the kind guests describe to friends by name rather than by listing.
La Plagne is confirmed for 2030. The infrastructure is financed, the date is fixed. This is not a wager on a valley improving — it is a calendar entry with capital already committed against it. And the house sits between two domains: La Plagne to the north, the Trois Vallées twenty minutes south.
Against £300 a night and £1,800 a week. Net figures allow a full quarter for management and running costs. Yield is measured against the €250,000 renovation, not the value of the asset.

Two seasons carry the property rather than one: skiing through winter, then cycling, hiking and the lakes through summer. Host regions typically hold demand well above their pre-Games baseline once the Games have passed.
Take a secured fixed return, participate in the upside, or hold both at once. Every position carries a defined exit — buyout at independent valuation from year five, or on sale.
Present value of the property is €300,000, unencumbered. Capital uplift is measured from that figure. Illustrative only, not a financial promotion, and not an offer of securities — terms are subject to contract and independent legal advice on both sides.
Every line costed, with a full ten percent of construction works held in reserve. Eighteen months to first guests — two full seasons of reviews before the Games arrive.
Not competing with the chalets around it. Occupying a category they do not reach.
A period house taken back to brick and rebuilt entire, extension included — delivered to time and to budget, and carried by two national interiors titles. The same hand now turns to Savoie.

The title is clear. The Games are fixed. The drawings are done. What remains is the right partner.
