Switzerland stands out as the ideal choice for investing in a second home. Between its breathtaking landscapes, between lakes and mountains, you will easily find your retreat for a weekend, a week’s vacation, or even an entire season.

Opting for a second home in Switzerland is not just about owning real estate; it’s also about adopting an incomparable lifestyle. You can fully enjoy outdoor activities, cultural festivals, renowned local cuisine, and many other pleasures. In short, Switzerland offers exceptional quality of life and a memorable experience for those who aspire to serenity and well-being. .

The Mountains

The price of luxury ski chalets has seen an average increase of 4.4% over the past 12 months up to June 2023. Excluding the pandemic years, this represents the strongest growth since 2014.

Swiss resorts dominate the rankings for the second consecutive year, with three German-speaking resorts - Klosters, Davos, and one of this year’s newcomers, Andermatt - occupying the top positions. The scarcity of real estate and infrastructure improvements in each resort contribute to price increases.

The resort attracts a wide range of visitors, from skiing enthusiasts to mountain biking, hiking, paragliding, and mountain running enthusiasts. Additionally, it offers a packed calendar of sporting events that stimulate investor interest.

In 2023, two distinct trends emerged, reflecting the diverse motivations of buyers. High-altitude resorts such as St. Moritz, as well as year-round resorts like Verbier, have recorded exceptional performances. Buyers have either favoured resorts guaranteeing a prolonged ski season with guaranteed snow or sought destinations offering a variety of activities both on and off the slopes, as well as a lively atmosphere during the summer months.

When considering the purchase of an alpine residence, do not underestimate certain essential criteria. Mountain views, high-speed internet connection, outdoor space, optimal energy efficiency, sustainable design, ski-in/ski-out option, family accommodation, versatile living spaces, a home gym, and an office are crucial elements. Each contributes to creating an ideal alpine setting, meeting present and future needs in the enchanting mountain environment.
