Revenue, share of nights booked and average nightly rate recorded from 1 to 31 August 2026 across the properties shown (source: PriceLabs). “Nights booked” means paid occupancy, excluding nights blocked by the owner: this is why Le Méribel shows 48 % when its calendar was in fact occupied 65 % of the time. Revenue rounded to the nearest hundred euros, before our commission. August is a peak month: annual averages are lower. One property’s performance says nothing about another’s — it depends on location, capacity, condition and period. We manage further properties in Sallanches whose figures are not shown here.
Our real figures in Sallanches
Five properties, one month, €18,100: what we can actually prove
We have not been established in Sallanches long enough to publish a year-on-year comparison, as we do in Les Houches or Chamonix. So here is what we do have: the month of August 2026, property by property, with nothing left out.
Revenue generated
across 5 properties, August 2026
That is €3,620 per property on average for the month. The lowest earned €2,500, the highest €4,600.
Average nightly rate (ADR)
from €89 to €223
The gap comes down to size and view, not to the neighbourhood. A well-kept 40 m² flat lets at €89 a night and fills better than a large apartment at €223.
Nights booked
paid occupancy, August 2026
Across the full calendar, occupancy comes out at 82%. The difference is the nights owners keep for themselves.
What these figures do not say. Five properties over a single month is not a representative sample, and August is the best month of the year. We publish them because they are verifiable and because we would rather give you a small exact figure than a large promise. For a twelve-month projection on your specific property, ask for the detailed estimate.

Buying in Sallanches rather than Chamonix
The cheapest square metre in the valley, by a wide margin
The Notaires des Savoie publish the median price of older properties every year, commune by commune. For 2025, the gap between Sallanches and Chamonix is the widest in the area: an older apartment is worth €3,640/m² in Sallanches against €9,760/m² in Chamonix. For the same budget, you buy almost three times the floor area.
Per m² in Sallanches — older apartment, 2025
Per m² in Chamonix — same year
That is 37% of the Chamonix price. The Sallanches market is also far more stable: +1.2% year on year for apartments, −5.7% for houses. Sallanches is not a bet on capital gains: it is a low entry price on a rental market that works all year round.

What we will not tell you. A purchase price three times lower does not produce a rental income three times higher, far from it. Sallanches lets for less per night than Chamonix: €161 on average across our five properties in August 2026, against more than double that across our Chamonix portfolio. What Sallanches offers is an accessible entry ticket, demand that does not depend on skiing alone, and solid occupancy. We do not yet have enough history here to publish an annual yield: we will when we do.
We do not publish a price per square metre for houses: the Notaires des Savoie publish a median price per property, not per m². The two figures are not comparable.
The regulations, however, are not the same. Sallanches is not part of the Chamonix valley and does not apply its regime. The detail is further down this page.
What makes a property let here
A real town, not a resort — which is exactly what makes it lettable all year
Sallanches is unlike any other commune in the area. It is a working town of 17,319 residents, with its hospital, shops, railway station and business parks — and only 11.9% second homes. Where Chamonix or Combloux live off tourism, Sallanches lives first of all off itself. For an owner, that changes the nature of the demand.
17,319 year-round residents
Sallanches is the principal town of the Pays du Mont-Blanc: hospital, schools, shops, station. Demand that does not stop when the snow melts — work trips, families visiting the hospital, seasonal workers, construction crews. That is what fills the months when resorts empty.
Only 11.9% second homes
1,272 dwellings out of 10,727 at the last census. This is the opposite of Chamonix or Combloux: very few holiday lets per resident, and therefore weak local competition for a traveller looking for a base in the valley.
5 hotels, 211 rooms
As at 1 January 2026 the commune has just five hotels and no 4- or 5-star establishment at all. Guests who want space and comfort have almost no hotel supply to choose from.
€3,640 per square metre
The lowest entry price in the area for an older apartment, on a stable market (+1.2% year on year). For the same budget, you buy a three-room apartment in Sallanches where you would buy a studio in Chamonix.
At the centre of the Pays du Mont-Blanc
Combloux is 8 km away. Megève, Cordon, Passy, Saint-Gervais and the Chamonix valley are all reachable from Sallanches. Your guests can ski several resorts from a single base — an argument we put front and centre in the listings.
Our office is here
33 quai de Warens is one of our two offices where we meet owners, alongside Chamonix. Cleaning, check-ins and maintenance visits leave from here, not from forty minutes away.

What these figures tell an owner. Sallanches has few second homes and few hotels, but plenty of residents and passing trade. Demand is therefore not purely touristic, and it is markedly less seasonal than in Chamonix. This is a market where a well-run property also lets in November and in May — the two months when the resorts empty.

Worth knowing before you let
Sallanches does not apply the Chamonix valley regime
This is an important difference, and it works in your favour. As at the date we checked, we found no Sallanches council decision introducing a change-of-use authorisation or a one-property-per-owner quota — the rules that Chamonix, Les Houches, Servoz and Vallorcine have applied since 2025. National rules therefore apply. We would nonetheless recommend confirming this with the town hall: a commune can vote such rules in at any time.
| Noneone-property-per-owner quota found to date | 120days a year — the limit if the property is your main home | 13characters — the registration number, where one is required | To confirmwith the town hall: a decision can be taken at any time |
1 · Declaring to the town hall
Every holiday let must be declared to the town hall. As at the date we checked, Sallanches had not set up an online registration service comparable to the one used in the Chamonix valley: the declaration is made directly to the commune. We handle it with you.
2 · Change of use
We found no Sallanches council decision requiring change-of-use authorisation for holiday lets. This is the major difference with Chamonix, where the authorisation is compulsory and limited to one property per owner. Finding no text is not a guarantee: check with the town hall, particularly if your plans involve more than one property.
3 · Tourist tax
Collected from the guest, declared and paid over. We handle it on your behalf and the detail appears on your owner portal. We are not publishing the rate that applies in Sallanches until we have verified it at source: ask us and we will give you the exact figure together with the council decision behind it.
4 · Star rating
Optional. It is above all a tax decision: since the Le Meur law, the micro-BIC threshold differs depending on whether the property is rated or not. We will tell you whether it is worth doing on your property.
The takeaway. Sallanches is currently one of the simplest communes in the area in which to run a short-term let: no quota, and no change-of-use authorisation as far as we know. That is a real advantage — and a fragile one, since a commune can change its rules. If you are weighing Sallanches against a commune in the Chamonix valley, it belongs in the balance.

Frequently asked
Letting in Sallanches: what owners ask us
Sallanches is not a ski resort — does it really let?
Yes, and not only in winter. Across our five properties in the area, paid occupancy came out at 76% in August 2026, at an average of €161 a night. The difference with a resort is the nature of the demand: in Sallanches you also let to business travellers, to families visiting the hospital, to seasonal workers and to guests looking for a cheaper base from which to explore the valley. It is steadier demand, and far less dependent on snow.
How much does a property earn in Sallanches?
In August 2026 our five Sallanches properties generated €18,100 in total, or €3,620 per property on average, at €161 a night. August is the best month of the year: that figure does not multiply by twelve. We do not yet have enough history in Sallanches to publish a reliable annual average. For a projection on your property, ask for the detailed estimate: it takes account of the address, the capacity and the amenities.
Am I allowed to let more than one property in Sallanches?
As far as we know, yes. Unlike Chamonix, Les Houches, Servoz and Vallorcine, we found no Sallanches council decision limiting the number of holiday lets per owner, or requiring change-of-use authorisation. We would still encourage you to have this confirmed by the town hall before buying: a commune can adopt those rules at any time, and our check dates from 3 September 2026.
Are you really based in Sallanches?
Yes. 33 quai de Warens is one of our two offices where we meet owners, alongside Chamonix; we also have a logistics base in Les Houches and an office in Megève, by appointment. The cleaning teams, check-ins and maintenance visits for the area all leave from there. That said, let us be clear: our management portfolio in the commune is only just starting. Five properties is not many — which is precisely why we publish their figures.
Why buy in Sallanches rather than Chamonix or Les Houches?
For the entry price, and for the regulations. An older apartment sells for €3,640/m² in Sallanches against €9,760/m² in Chamonix, and Sallanches does not apply the one-property-per-owner limit in force in the Chamonix valley. In exchange, nightly rates are lower and the guest profile is different. We will not tell you the yield is better: we do not yet have the twelve months of data that would allow us to say so.
What if my property is only free a few weeks a year?
Tell us. Delegated management makes sense on a property that is let regularly. For a few weeks a year we will say so plainly rather than have you sign. The calendar stays yours: you block your dates whenever you wish, and the nights you keep for yourself do not count towards the share of nights booked that we publish.
