Valmorel, iconic resort at the heart of the Grand Domaine: Charming and expansive
With its authentic Savoyard character and the grandeur of the Grand Domaine, Valmorel embodies the true spirit of the mountains. Connected to one of the largest ski areas in the Alps and boasting exceptional panoramic views of Mont Blanc and Les Écrins, this family-friendly village resort offers a wide range of activities in a magical setting throughout both winter and summer. At the heart of this high-altitude territory with spectacular views, the Akoya residence embodies the high-end signature of MGM French Properties.
Le Grand Domaine, where the
mountain gives more
At the gateway to the Tarentaise in Savoie, the village of Valmorel immediately captivates with its strong identity. Surrounded by charming hamlets, traditional chalets and a pedestrianised street lined with small shops, welcoming restaurants and essential services, the Sardinian-Piedmontese architecture conveys its uniqueness. Here, slate roofs, stone and wood remain true to the mountain spirit, while façades adorned with colourful murals give the resort an unmistakable character.
When it comes to skiing, Valmorel opens the doors to the Grand Domaine, a vast playground with 165 km of slopes linking the resorts of Valmorel, Saint-François-Longchamp, Doucy and Celliers. With altitudes spanning between 1,450 and 2,550 metres, the ski area rises above the village with an impressive vertical drop and ensures excellent snow cover throughout the winter season. Alpine skiing enthusiasts can enjoy runs suitable to all levels, from wide family-friendly slopes to more technical trails. Fun zones, secure beginner areas, ungroomed freeride sections and more challenging sectors allow everyone to experience the mountains at their own pace and according to their preferences. Hikers can also enjoy themselves to the fullest by exploring this wonderful territory on foot or snowshoes along 50 km of marked trails.
And the appeal of the Grand Domaine is not limited to winter. Once the snow melts, the landscape reveals 3,600 hectares of nature in full bloom. More than 300 km of hiking trails crisscross alpine pastures, forests and panoramic ridges, while 365 km of mountain bike trails attract downhill and enduro enthusiasts. Trail running, paragliding, via ferrata, cycle touring and water sports in the valley complete the summer offering. Valmorel, which has earned the Famille Plus label, offers a diverse program for young and old alike, creating a vibrant atmosphere for visitors throughout the year.
This dual seasonality is a key strategic advantage for real estate investment: it promotes optimal occupancy and enhances the overall attractiveness of the area.
The Akoya residence,
an architectural landmark
in the heart of the village
It is in this privileged setting that the Akoya residence has found its place, right in the centre of Valmorel and close to the slopes. Directly connected to the pedestrian street by secure walkways, it enjoys a particularly sought-after location, blending village-centre accessibility with tranquillity.
Akoya, “pearl” in Japanese, truly lives up to its name. Its design is a seamless continuation of the village’s architectural heritage. Faithful to the architectural identity of the resort, the residence combines stone foundations, wood cladding, ornate balconies and mineral coatings in warm tones. Colourful frescoes and gables engage in a subtle dialogue with the historic façades of the village, creating a harmonious and visually striking integration into the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the MGM signature is evident in every detail. The apartments ranging from 2- to 4-bedroom, with duplex layouts, offer generous spaces designed for comfortable, cozy and relaxing mountain stays. Fully furnished, equipped and thoughtfully decorated, they blend the warmth of wood, the nobility of natural stone and contemporary touches. Living areas open onto large balconies, creating a seamless transition to the surrounding peaks.
The amenities meet the expectations of a discerning clientele: fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms, optimised storage space and meticulous finishes. Each apartment includes a covered parking space, a private cellar and a ski locker, essential elements for uncompromising everyday comfort.
The highlight of the residence is its 800 m² wellness area, dedicated to relaxation after a day on the slopes. A heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam, hot tub and fitness room create a rejuvenating environment.

Investing in Valmorel,
a strategic asset choice
Purchasing a property in the mountains is certainly a matter of love at first sight but it is also a sustainable investment. By bringing together the key fundamentals sought by investors, Valmorel offers all the advantages: a charming, intimate resort, a preserved architectural identity, a vast interconnected ski area and year-round appeal.
The central location of the Akoya residence further enhances its appeal. Being just steps from the slopes and local shops is a decisive factor for both renters and buyers. Added to this is the scarcity of available land in the heart of the resort, which consolidates the property’s long-term value. This added value also reflects the constant rise in client expectations, which MGM meets in every respect. By focusing on high-end comfort and premium spaces dedicated to wellness and relaxation, as well as diversifying its range of services to include recreational and social areas such as the M'Bar, MGM delivers a truly immersive experience.
Investing in the Akoya residence in Valmorel combines the pleasure of ownership with a strategic investment. It also means choosing a premium location in a resort that has preserved its soul while developing a comprehensive and sustainable range of tourist attractions.

At the heart of the Grand Domaine, Akoya is a rare gem that combines authenticity, performance and
the refined art of mountain living.
