The land of snowcapped peaks and blue summer lakes entices many holiday makers all year round. Stretching from Lake Geneva in the north to the Provence to the south, the French Alps are amongst the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world. Providing an ideal base for skiers in winter and hikers in summer, it allows visitors to dream and gaze in wonder at the spectacular scenery in front of their eyes. Grenoble is the capital of the region and a busy hive of activity all year round. The shopping here is great and so is the food. Parc National de la Vanoise, France's first national park is riddled with peaks, lakes and glaciers.
Real estate in the Alps is considered somewhat upmarket and flash. Many high society celebrities have constant accommodation in the various resorts and villages and it isn't rare that you'll run into somebody famous here. Where there is money, there is also plenty of style and property investors who appreciate upmarket living will be pleased to find many suitable properties for them. Venture further off road and you'll find lesser priced properties to suit all budgets.
