We have compared the prime residential property market outlook for ten key Alpine resorts over the coming year, using four key indicators. Resilience to climate change, openness to international buyers, and volume of supply in each location all factor into the analysis. Proximity to transport is also considered, but to a lesser extent.

Chamonix offers the second strongest outlook for any of the ten markets covered, with low levels of supply, an openness to foreign buyers, relatively low average prime asking prices, and a high resilience rank. This French resort, at the base of Mont Blanc and on the crossroads between France, Switzerland and Italy, is one to watch in the coming years.

Swiss locations account for nearly half of the locations in our outlook this year, and the country continues its reputation as a byword for ‘safe haven’ amongst the global wealthy. Demand outstrips supply in most of the resorts covered, apart from Villars which local agents report has balanced supply and demand dynamics. Foreign buyers should be aware of buyer restrictions in the country which vary from canton to canton, and which can have a micro effect on property markets, depending on the location.

If you’re considering a move, whether buying, selling or renting, our team would be delighted to assist with your ski property enquiries.
