Thinking about a Ski Property as an Investment?

Everyone wants to own a ski property in their favourite resort. From an apartment to a chalet, you are always guaranteed a place to stay and almost certain rental! However, it's a huge investment so why not check out some things you may need to consider.

Summer Months

Always look at what the resort is like in the summer months so that you can rent out when the snow is not there. Some resorts have thriving cycling tours and mountain hiking holidays, so do check this out.

Snowfall History

Also, what is the snowfall like? High altitude resorts which have glacier skiing during the summer are also good bets.

Ski Area

Can your resort access a larger ski area so giving people greater choice of where to ski? And finally, what are the transport links like? No-one likes long transfers particularly families, so look at resorts that are easy to get to.

Buying Laws

Some countries also have a lot of restrictions to buying in. Switzerland has restrictions on the sale of second homes to foreigners and also restrictions on the size of plot of land and the habitable area of the chalet. Austria is a little more straightforward although do beware, each different federal province has different rules on the buying of holiday homes.

So, whether you're looking in St Moritz or Whistler, Saas Fee or Soldeu, why not look on the GoSki.co.uk website. Updated regularly to allow you to access hundreds of places.
