A B&B for sale in Savoie works two seasons instead of one, as the ski areas of the Tarentaise and Maurienne fill rooms in winter, and hiking, the great Tour de France passes and the lakes carry the summer. The Vanoise National Park, the Bauges and Chartreuse regional nature parks, Lac du Bourget and the spa town of Aix-les-Bains, Lac d'Aiguebelette, Chambéry, and the Beaufortain with its Beaufort cheese make for a varied territory.
Properties range from converted mountain chalets to valley farmhouses and maisons de maître near the lakes. This page is for buyers of a running chambres d'hôtes business, for people weighing Savoie against neighbouring departments, and for owners planning a sale. An email alert (in French) tells you when a new property appears.

Savoie sits well above the regional average: a 2025 land-registry median of €320,205 for a country house, against €230,000 for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and up 24.8% since late 2020. Lakeside municipalities reach €395,500, and tourist inland areas, meaning the mountains, €280,900 after a 17.3% rise between 2021 and 2025. A five-room guest house usually exceeds the top-decile threshold of €523,018 and nears the prestige market, whose department median of €1,031,800 rests on some thirty sales and is indicative only.
The Tarentaise, from Moûtiers to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, benefits from the big resorts and international guests, but valley prices are high and summers quieter. The Maurienne, along the A43, mixes family resorts and high passes at lower prices. The Beaufortain and Val d'Arly appeal with villages and alpine pastures, while the Avant-Pays Savoyard, Lac d'Aiguebelette and the shores of Lac du Bourget draw nature lovers, spa guests and summer visitors. The Bauges massif suits walkers seeking quiet. Access is via the A43 and A41, high-speed trains to Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains, plus Moûtiers and Bourg-Saint-Maurice in winter, and Chambéry, Geneva and Lyon airports.
The loi Montagne, France's mountain planning law, restricts building at altitude, and the shores of the large lakes also fall under the loi Littoral: extending a chalet or adding rooms is never guaranteed. Risk-prevention plans map avalanches, torrential floods and landslides; check them before any offer. Have stone-slab or shingle roofs, timbers and insulation inspected. A private septic system inspected by the SPANC service must match capacity, capped at 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, after a declaration at the mairie (town hall). Insure the business properly: see our article on B&B insurance (in French).
Resort prices are well above the €320,205 department median, and a five-room property often trades at prestige levels. Add works, furnishings and purchase costs, then check your borrowing capacity (in French) before viewing.
The lakes, Chambéry and the Avant-Pays attract spa, business and walking guests in spring and autumn, which high resorts do less. Model your seasons with our B&B profitability simulator (in French) and have an accountant check them.
Review several seasons of accounts, winter and summer bookings, reviews, the town hall declaration, surveys and risk plans. Our buying guide (in French) covers the compromis de vente (preliminary contract) and completion before the notaire, the official who handles property sales.
