Alpine Lodges

What Alpine Lodges does

Alpine Lodges SAS is a French luxury real estate developer and chalet builder founded in 1997, headquartered in Chavanod (Annecy), and operating as the property development arm of the Alpine Collection group alongside sister companies Alpine Design (interior design) and Alpine Resorts (rental and property management). The company specializes in off-plan construction and sale of high-end apartments, chalets, and penthouses across five premium French Alpine ski resorts: Tignes and Val d'Isère (Tignes-Val d'Isère / Espace Killy), Courchevel and Méribel (Les 3 Vallées), and Les Gets (Les Portes du Soleil). Since inception it has delivered 649 properties across 38 completed developments, with 12 new developments in progress including the Genesis masterplan in Tignes, Sundance and Steamboat in Courchevel, and Falcon in Méribel. Property prices range from approximately €785,000 for entry-level off-plan apartments to over €4.99 million for 5-star hotel-residence units, and the company offers a 20% VAT recovery program on qualified off-plan purchases that requires a 20-year rental commitment managed through Alpine Resorts.

The business model is a vertically integrated development-plus-services stack: one-time property sales generate the primary revenue, complemented by recurring property management fees (via Alpine Resorts) and interior design revenue (via Alpine Design). The go-to-market is direct enterprise-style field sales through four physical offices (Annecy headquarters plus resort offices in Courchevel, Les Gets, and Tignes), targeting high-net-worth international buyers through personalized consultation, VEFA off-plan contracts, and bespoke customization. The customer base is exclusively private HNW individuals acquiring vacation homes and investment properties, with no institutional, corporate, or rental-pool buyers disclosed. Patrick Remme is the Manager of the single-person SAS structure; no external PE, VC, or institutional investment is referenced in available materials, indicating an owner-operated growth model. A brand identity renewal was completed in September 2024 as part of the Alpine Collection group's repositioning, and Olympic 2030-related demand is being actively marketed for the Courchevel and Méribel pipeline.
