What luxury houses in ski resorts cost

For this purpose, residential properties in countries where the Hamburg company is represented were scrutinized. All prices in Swiss francs, US dollars and Canadian dollars have been converted to euros based on the current exchange rate.

The world’s highest prices for ski real estate can therefore be found in the Rocky Mountains in the US state of Colorado. Up to 77,000 euros costs in the city aspens of square meters in an apartment or chalet in top locations, which include not only the center but also the neighboring towns of Snowmass Village, Basalt and Carbondale. According to Engel & Völkers, 95 percent of the demand is from Americans, the rest from the British, Germans, French, Brazilians, Argentines and Mexicans. It is said that many would appreciate the all-round package of ski area, restaurants and shopping facilities.

A property in the nearby area costs only slightly less Vail. There you have to lie down up to 72,000 euros for the square meter. The best locations include the Vail Village and the neighboring Beaver Creek Village, where the Ski World Cup entourage stops every year.

The top Swiss ski resorts share third place in the global rankings Saint Moritz and Gstaad, which are the most expensive regions for ski real estate in the Alps. The square meter prices here are up to 60,000 euros. 70 percent of the buyers are Swiss, the rest Germans, Italians and other Europeans. Demand exceeds the limited supply, which in turn drives up prices. “In the past two years, we have increasingly observed the desire to live in the property beyond the ski season and also to work here. The use of the holiday property as a first and second home is in some cases seamlessly intertwined,” says Barbara Jost, license partner of Engel & Völkers in St. Moritz.

The most expensive place to live in Austria is and remains Kitzbuehel. This also applies to ski properties. Up to 26,000 euros are required for one square meter – in the center, in the villages of Lebenberg, Bichlalm and at the foot of the Hahnenkamm. Half of the purchases can be traced back to Austrians, and Germans, Dutch and British people are also drawn to the Tyrolean ski resort.

In Canada is whistler British Columbia’s most exclusive ski area. Up to 25,000 euros per square meter are due for properties in prime locations. In demand by buyers are the location in nature and snow reliability.
