Which ski resort commands the highest rental rate?

Most owners of ski homes want to rent their property and generate a return or at least cover maintenance costs and personal holidays.

With rates per night, property sizes and overall rental stock differing from resort to resort, it is hard to identify a potentially lucrative gap in the market…until now. Knight Frank Research has undertaken the first deep dive into the Alpine holiday rental market to help gauge how six major French and Swiss resorts compare.

The results provide a valuable insight into how the rental profile of each resort varies in terms of stock, size and rental values. Although the data relates to the 12-months to September 2021 when the world was in the midst of a pandemic and occupancy rates were, on average, significantly lower than usual, the data reveals which resorts are popular with which nationalities and helps buyers identify where there is a mismatch between demand and supply. The findings below are based on all properties with an average daily rental rate above US$250 (€210).
