What alpes immobilier does

Alpes Immobilier is a family-owned real estate agency (SARL Alpes Immobilier) headquartered in La Clusaz, Haute-Savoie, France, founded in 1989 by Véronique Hudry-Thevenet. The company operates in two complementary lines: seasonal vacation rentals and property sales/management, focused on the La Clusaz mountain resort and — via a sister partnership with Meyer Immo — the neighboring Manigod/Merdassier area.

The rental portfolio comprises approximately 70 furnished properties (Meublés de Tourisme) rated 1 to 4 stars, ranging from studios for two to 15-person chalets, offered as short stays (3+ nights), long-term winter rentals (December to April, minimum 2 months), and traditional rentals. The sales division handles primary/secondary residences, investment properties, and garages in La Clusaz, Manigod, Thônes, and La Balme-de-Thuy. Bookings and property data are managed through the Avantio vacation rental platform, which synchronizes real-time availability across roughly 20 distribution channels — Booking.com, Airbnb, HomeAway/Abritel, Locasun, Muchosol, Tripadvisor, Holidu, Vacancesweb.be, laclusaz.com, Le bon coin pro — and supports direct website booking in five currencies (EUR, GBP, USD, RUB, JPY).

The business model combines (i) a minimum 24% TTC commission on seasonal rental income plus a 5.5% booking processing fee, (ii) transaction-based fees on property sales (flat €10,000 TTC below thresholds, 5% TTC above €170,000 in La Clusaz, 8% TTC above €130,000 in Manigod), and (iii) ancillary services including optional multi-risk cancellation insurance (Chapka/GRITCHEN, 4.5% of stay cost), linen rental, and welcome kits. A complementary Pass eXpérience bundle provides unlimited access to 19 local activities for stays of 7+ nights, supported by partnerships with the La Clusaz Tourism Office, Intersport (20% ski equipment discount), and ANCV (vacation voucher acceptance). The agency holds a French professional card (CPI 74012016000016 336), professional liability insurance with AXA, and a financial guarantee from Crédit Agricole des Savoie.

Direct peers

• Alpissime: Alpissime is a French Alps property specialist offering seasonal rentals and sales in resorts such as Megève and Chamonix. Overlaps directly with Alpes Immobilier in client profile, geography and product mix.
• Cimalpes: Cimalpes is a French Alps property management and real estate agency operating across Megève, Chamonix, Val d'Isère and other premium resorts. It runs the same combined seasonal-rental management + transaction model as Alpes Immobilier, making it the closest like-for-like peer in scale and offering.
• Megève Sotheby's International Realty: Megève Sotheby's International Realty is a luxury real estate brokerage in a comparable premium French Alpine resort, offering mountain property sales and seasonal rentals. It competes for the same pool of high-end owners and buyers that Alpes Immobilier serves in the Aravis.
• Barnes International (Megève): Barnes operates a Megève office focused on Alpine luxury real estate transactions and seasonal rentals. Comparable to Alpes Immobilier in combining brokerage with holiday rental management in a high-end French ski resort.

Broad incumbents

• Vacancéole: Vacancéole is a French vacation rental operator with residences in multiple French regions, including Alpine resorts. It overlaps with Alpes Immobilier's family-focused mountain holiday proposition at greater scale.
• Travelski: Travelski is a France-based ski-holiday specialist aggregating accommodation, ski passes and packages across the Alps. It competes for the same end customer (ski holidaymaker in French resorts) and is one of the meta-channels Alpes Immobilier must appear on to remain competitive.
• Belambra Clubs: Belambra is a major French operator of mountain and seaside holiday clubs, including resorts in the Alps. It targets a similar French family ski/summer audience as Alpes Immobilier but delivers its own self-catered accommodation rather than agency-managed private rentals.
• Maeva: Maeva is the Pierre & Vacances mass-market vacation rental brand covering resorts across France including Alpine destinations. It is a broader-incumbent alternative to Alpes Immobilier's apartment-and-chalet offering.
• Odalys Vacances: Odalys Vacances is a large French vacation rental operator with multi-resort coverage including the Alps. It overlaps with Alpes Immobilier in seasonal rental distribution but is significantly broader in geographic reach and marketing budget.
• Pierre & Vacances: Pierre & Vacances is France's largest vacation residence operator, with significant mountain-resort presence (e.g., Les Arcs, Avoriaz, Méribel). It competes for the same mountain holiday guest and overlaps with Alpes Immobilier's seasonal rental offering, but at much greater scale and brand recognition.
