“There are not many locations in the world where you can ski and swim in the sea in the same day, this focus on sport, lifestyle and wellness is a major draw of the Riviera, it’s all there on the doorstep and makes the quality of life a top factor in many clients decision to secure a French Riviera property” explains Alex Balkin, Executive Director of Savills French Riviera. 

Indeed, the latest research from Savills award winning research team highlights the global appeal of the Riviera. But the Cote d’Azur isn’t just for the sun worshippers and ocean goers, set back from the dramatic Azur shores past the rolling Nicoise countryside known locally as the "arrrière pays", lie the foothills of the Alps which match the seafront setting point for point on panoramic views, dramatic backdrops and sporting appeal. Here you can find the ski resort of Auron, which combines the charm of a village setting amidst the Mercantour National Park, creating the ideal setting for 135 km of tree lined slopes across four zones and served by 15 lifts  ranging from 1,600 to 2,452 metres and boasting in excess of 40 runs including 3 green, 17 blue, 15 red and 8 black, there is something for every level of skier, just part of the resorts appeal as a family resort. 

This is the location for local Côte d’Azur families keen to clock up time on the slopes with clocking up the air miles, those looking for downtime in a natural setting without time away from the jobs and daily life within the coastal towns plus there is vast appeal from those looking for a year-round location, one that offers more than just a temporary residence but a true second home setting. Add in the ease of access to the setting, just 90 minutes from Nice Airport and it is a winning formula, one that a highly talented Alpine developer has noted, resulting in their latest offering – Vivaldi.

A collection of 48 apartments with luxury services across chalet style residence, Vivaldi, Auron is a new development combining the very best of a stunning Alpine setting matched by contemporary design, luxury fittings and exemplary service. At Vivaldi one doesn’t need to denounce style for convenience or setting for services, this modern development captures the very best of all whilst matching a year-round, one where you can count all seasons in the same day! Under development, with delivery planned for 2025, Vivaldi represents an excellent opportunity to invest in this ever-popular destination.
