The French Alps have always been a popular tourist destination, especially for the ski season. More and more Britons are choosing to ski at least once a year, and many will jump at the chance to go skiing over a long weekend, especially with new flights from London City airport to Chambery giving them extra flexibility.
Chambery airport offers easy access to such well-known resorts as Val d’Isere and Tignes. It is estimated that over half a million people from Britain already own property in this area which is still ripe for development. Just an hour from Chambery airport is the village of Saint-Martin-de –Belleville which is part of the Three Valleys area. This is in one of the largest linked ski areas in the world as it has over 600 km of ski slopes and 200 ski lifts.
However tourist accommodation here is still at a bit of a premium with only two and a half thousand beds available which makes it an excellent place in which to own a second home. You can buy reasonably priced one and two-bedroom apartments which are fully furnished and have access to an indoor swimming pool, spa and gym, and they are located at the bottom of the slopes. Far more people choose to rent an apartment when they go skiing than to stay in a hotel giving owners excellent returns on their investment.
These types of apartments will bring in rental year round as during the summer months it is a popular holiday destination, but there is no doubt that it is during the winter months when the highest rental returns will be guaranteed, with the added bonus for owners of being able to leave work on a Friday only to be on the slopes a couple of hours later.
