Property price trends in Les Menuires in 2026
Market trends since 2020
The property market in Les Menuires has seen steady growth since 2020, driven by the growing appeal of the 3 Vallées and the massive return of investors to the mountains; price increases are estimated at between 25% and 35%, with prices gradually stabilising since 2024. Today, transactions observed on the ground confirm prices ranging from 65,000€ to 100,000€ per square metre, with significant variations depending on location, views and, above all, proximity to the slopes.
Current listings from Agence des Alpes include, for example, studio flats priced at around €150,000 for 19–22 m², one-bedroom flats ranging from 180,000€ to 224,000€ for 22 to 28 m², or even three-bedroom flats priced between 340,000€ and 351,000€ for 40 to 57 m², illustrating a highly segmented but active market.
The various factors that influence prices at the resort.
Property prices in ski resorts depend mainly on three key factors.
Firstly, location remains a decisive factor: a property situated on the slopes or in the heart of the resort’s amenities will be worth significantly more.
Secondly, the quality of the building plays a major role, particularly in the case of renovated properties or those offering amenities such as lifts, ski lockers or relaxation areas.
Finally, the property’s suitability for rental management has a significant impact on its valuation. An apartment that is easy to let during the winter season will always be valued higher than a second home that is difficult to let.

Actual rental profitability in Les Menuires
Seasonal rental income
The performance of a mountain rental investment in Les Menuires depends largely on the winter season, which alone accounts for around 70 to 80% of annual income.
A well-located studio can generate between 8,000€ and 11,000€ gross per year, whilst a one-bedroom flat yields between 12,000€ and 16,000€.
The best-located two-bedroom flats can generate up to 25,000e in annual income, particularly when they are situated in a ski-in/ski-out location.
Average occupancy rate
Rental performance varies significantly depending on location and the standard of accommodation. Properties offering direct access to the slopes perform best, with occupancy rates reaching 70 / 90% in winter.
In summer, the resort operates differently but remains attractive, with an average occupancy rate of between 20% and 40%, driven by non-skiing mountain activities.
Expenses and taxation
Investing in Les Menuires involves taking into account the specific costs associated with property in a resort. Condominiums often incur slightly higher costs relating to facilities, snow clearance and building maintenance throughout the winter.
In this context, the LMNP scheme remains the most popular option for optimising your tax position and improving the net return on your property.

Should one invest in Les Menuires in 2026?
The market remains particularly attractive for investors looking for a property in a ski resort with stable demand.
The most sought-after properties are well-designed studio flats in the resort centre, one-bedroom flats with balconies, and apartments offering direct access to the slopes. These types of property perfectly meet the expectations of holidaymakers in both winter and summer.
Conversely, common pitfalls include poorly located properties, overpriced flats or properties requiring unexpected major renovation work.
