Aigle and the Chablais region: an area attracting more and more buyers

Long overshadowed by the Vaud Riviera, the region around Aigle and the Chablais (Bex, Roche, Monthey, Massongex) is now drawing a growing number of buyers looking for a more affordable lifestyle while staying close to Montreux, Vevey and the motorway axis linking Lausanne and Valais. Between vineyards, mountains and quick access to Valais ski resorts, this area combines quality of life with real property potential.

A market that remains accessible compared to the Riviera

While prices per square metre in Montreux or Vevey have risen sharply in recent years, Aigle and its surroundings still offer attractive opportunities, whether for a primary residence, a rental investment or a future family home. Bex, Roche and Monthey complete this dynamic with a wide variety of properties: flats, village houses, building plots and characterful chalets.

Why invest in the Chablais?

  • Accessibility: fast connections to Lausanne, Montreux, Vevey and central Valais.
  • Diversity of properties: from city studios to houses with gardens, including mountain properties.
  • Economic dynamism: an industrial and service employment hub around Monthey and Aigle.
  • Quality of life: nature, vineyards, proximity to Lake Geneva and the Alps.

This combination makes the area particularly popular among families and investors seeking better value for money than on the Vaud Riviera.
