Answers to the most common questions about Le Hameau, the buying process, and life in La Tzoumaz.
Le Hameau is a residential development project in La Tzoumaz, Valais, Switzerland, comprising 11 individual homes: 5 private chalets and 6 apartments across two residence buildings. The project is developed by Home Partner Development and is scheduled for completion in phases between December 2027 and December 2028. All properties are designated as primary residences.
Yes. All properties at Le Hameau are classified as primary residences (résidence principale / Erstwohnsitz) under Swiss federal and Valais cantonal law. This is a legal designation, not merely a commercial preference. Purchasers are required to establish Le Hameau as their primary domicile. This cannot be used as a holiday home, second home, or investment rental property.
No. Under the Lex Weber (Swiss federal legislation on second homes), and consistent with the policy of the commune of Riddes, to which La Tzoumaz belongs, new residential construction must be designated as primary residences in communes where second homes already exceed 20% of total housing stock. Le Hameau is a primary residence development and this status is permanent.
Le Hameau offers: 5 private chalets ranging from 198 to 327 m² with 3–6 bedrooms; and 6 apartments: Type A — A1 160 m², A2 146 m², A3 133 m²; Type B — B1 160 m², B2 156 m², B3 131 m². Each property has its own outdoor space. Every chalet and every apartment comes with 2 parking spaces in the shared underground garage beneath the apartment buildings. In addition, there are 2 communal parking spaces, one of them wheelchair-accessible. An EV charging station is available as an option for every chalet and apartment (not included in the price). Every apartment has a private cellar, and all chalets and apartments have access to the communal ski and bike storage rooms. The chalets are not accessible by car: they are reached on foot via a walking path.
Yes. Prices are published for every available home on the properties page: chalets from CHF 1'775'000 and apartments from CHF 1'155'000. The brochure adds floor plans, specifications and the full price list, and our sales team can walk you through it.

Yes. Detailed floor plans, technical specifications, and construction documentation are available in the project brochure, which is provided upon request. A dedicated sales team member can walk you through the documentation in English, French, or German.
Swiss residential property purchase by foreign nationals is regulated under the Lex Koller. The applicability of this legislation depends on the buyer's nationality and residence status. As Le Hameau properties are designated as primary residences, different rules apply compared to second homes or investment properties. We strongly recommend that all non-Swiss prospective buyers consult a Swiss legal advisor before proceeding. Our sales team can provide referrals to experienced advisors.
Completion and handover is phased. Chalets B1 and B4 are scheduled for December 2027. Chalets B3 and B5, along with both apartment residences, are scheduled for December 2028. Please contact our sales team for the most up-to-date construction timeline and handover schedule.
