A select number of elegant ski apartments that unite

T
he appeal of a long-term
lifestyle investment combined
with comparatively stable prices
and cheap mortgages are the key
reasons an increasing number of
overseas buyers are looking to
acquire French ski property. Ski
properties have limited supply, a
captive, regular rental market and
are very desirable to own, all of
which help prices to remain relatively buoyant compared to other
second home destinations.
Homes for sale in the Chamonix
area have this season attracted one
of the highest rises in interest from
buyers. Chamonix is one of the most
popular and exclusive ski resorts in
the Alps, a world-class winter sports
destination, with easy access from
important European destinations.
And not only is it a great winter
destination, Chamonix offers a
fabulous array of warm-weather
activities too. In fact there are now
as many summer visitors as there
are winter visitors.
In a landmark deal, the Chamonix
lift management company,
Compagnie du Mont-Blanc, and the
Chamonix council have announced
a 40-year investment programme
valued at €477million, which will
see the upgrading of ski lifts and
other facilities in the area. All of this
means that the future is looking
ever brighter for astute investors in
Chamonix real estate.
Chamonix attracts a wide range of
nationalities, including buyers from
Northern European nations, as well
as those from the UK and Russia.
Chinese, Koreans and Indians are
also becoming more and more a
factor in the Savoie region.
For buyers seeking the ease of
low-maintenance living and a yearround mountain lifestyle, these
classic freehold ski apartments
represent one of the best options
for a luxury property investment
in Chamonix. Offering an intimate
environment of exclusivity and
grand style, it is a limited selection
