Ski Resorts Alps France
When you& 39;re purchasing a property for investment purposes, Francois Marchand, general manager of Erna Low emphasises that location is important. 'Aim for a place where it is ski-in/ski-out,' he advises. 'Altitude is not the most important factor; look into the local infrastructure and the accessibility to the rest of the ski area.'
Back in Europe, similar effects have been seen with property prices lower than they have been in the past, even in some of the most desirable ski locations in the French Alps.
According to Alpine Property Investments: 'Colorado remains the most popular destination for European skiers, thanks to direct flights to Denver and an easy commute to the resorts in the area.' Skiers also benefit from regular snowfalls, a great choice of slopes for all abilities and quieter pistes than some European ski resorts, which can get a bit congested in peak season. Even out of ski season, there are plenty of benefits to be had for owning a US home, and the rental opportunities continue throughout the four seasons.
