Investing In A Ski Chalet: Be In The Know

Are you thinking of investing in a ski chalet and wondering if a ski chalet is a good investment for you? Whether this is a pipe-dream right now or you are close to taking the leap, we have everything you need to know about making the investment right here. Come with us and be in the know about investing in a ski property, wherever it may be. We will discuss the benefits of investing in a ski chalet, the financial implications and how we can help you make the most out of your investment further down the line.

Is A Ski Chalet A Good Investment?

The average person who enjoys an annual ski trip would likely spend somewhere between £500-£3000. With this cost in mind, avid skiers may think it’s high time that a long-term investment is worthy of at least consideration. The truth is that investing in a ski chalet can save you money in the long run and may actually leave you in profit when the time comes to sell. So, financially, investing in the right area and in the right property makes sense in the long term.

Not only can ski properties provide you with profits over an extended period, but they are also highly desirable and therefore have terrific rental potential. The vast majority of homeowners choose to rent their other properties all-year round and, if the ski chalet is bought in the right area, the demand will certainly be there in both winter and summer.

Ski property rental is obviously at the heart of what we do here at Chalet Apartment Rentals, therefore we’d be able to help you promote your property and find guests all year round, whether you wish to market it as a holiday chalet rental, a seasonal chalet rental or, for those that wish to be immersed in a ski resort all year round, an annual chalet rental.

So, why is now a good time to invest in a ski property? With the impact of Covid-19 being felt worldwide and people adjusting their lives to ensure immunity from the virus, demand for private accommodation has soared. In anticipation of people flocking to ski resorts to enjoy ski seasons when it is completely safe to do so, now could be the perfect time to make the investment. Why not make it Verbier, one of the most acclaimed ski resorts in the entire world? We explore why an alpine property should be high on your list, below.

Why Invest In An Alpine Property?

There are many ski resorts to consider when thinking about investing in a ski property, however as residents of Verbier resort, we believe that there is no better option than the Alps! We believe that there are four main reasons as to why you should invest in an alpine ski property, as opposed to properties in other regions:

• Skiing Experiences – There can be no other place to start when discussing why you should invest in an alpine ski chalet over others. If you’re asking the question ‘is Verbier good for skiing?’ you’ll be pleased to know that the Swiss Alps, and Verbier in particular, is famed for what it can offer skiers of all abilities – particularly those that are advanced. This is a major advantage for ski property owners, as the demand to come and experience a Verbier ski holiday is extremely high. Also, when you come to stay at your property yourself, you can indulge in some unrivaled ski experiences!
• Top Facilities – The Alps is well known for having some of the best facilities and infrastructure in the world and developments are continually ongoing to ensure things stay this way. In our recent article, plans for Verbier ski resort and the 20/21 season, we announced planned upgrades for ski facilities around the resort. What’s more, many resorts in the Alps also keep their facilities open throughout all seasons, whilst other resorts shut theirs after winter has passed.
• Accessibility – In terms of getting to the Alps and experiencing all its delights, guests are truly spoiled for choice. Investment in the infrastructure around the Alps means that travelling here is becoming easier and easier. There are a host of budget airlines that now fly directly to Geneva Airport, the place guests fly into to reach Verbier. Guests can also get to Geneva by rail, setting off from London. Therefore, there is ample opportunity for guests to come and see the Alps without having to break the back.
• Preferred Ski Destinations – The Alps has always been a popular choice of destination for skiers but it continues to become even more popular. If you invested in an alpine property in or nearby a major ski resort, the risk of not being able to rent it out is diminished as certain areas of the Alps are evergreen in terms of their popularity.

There are some really stunning properties in the regions of Verbier and Le Chable, some that are luxury properties and others that are affordable options. We know both areas like the back of our hands and will be able to provide an insight into the regions, if you are not familiar with them.
