The value of real estate continues to rise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, trends in the Alpine property market over the last 30 years reflect a booming market, despite the economic climate. This trend is borne out by the figures for the first few months of 2023. On 1 April 2023, for example, house prices in Savoie and Haute-Savoie were still up to 6% higher compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strong-demand-and-short-supply\">Strong demand and short supply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Strict building regulations in mountain areas limit the supply of available property. This includes planning schemes to prevent natural hazards such as landslides, and preservation of the landscape and nature reserves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, mountain resorts continue to attract tourists from all over the world. Almost 10% more overnight stays were booked in 2022 than in 2021 in the Hautes-Alpes, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insee.fr\/fr\/statistiques\/7613773#:~:text=Avec%2018%2C2%20millions%20de,saison%202019%20(figure%203)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">18.2 million hotel nights will be sold between December 2022 and March 2023<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In times of economic uncertainty, Alpine properties, especially luxury chalets, are widely regarded as a secure investment option. Investors seek out safe assets that can maintain or appreciate in value, and mountain properties align with this objective. As a result, the demand and prices for properties in mountainous areas experience a significant boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A river and a dam, with mountains in the background\" class=\"wp-image-80084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investissement-en-montagne.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One good reason for investing in the mountains is the guaranteed increase in the value of your property \u00a9Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The shortage of supply of properties for sale combined with growing demand is creating continuous upward pressure on prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Northern Alps<\/td><td>6295\u20ac\/m2 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Southern Alps<\/td><td>3304\u20ac\/m2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jura<\/td><td>3291\u20ac\/m2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Massif Central<\/td><td>2136\u20ac\/m2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es<\/td><td>2651\u20ac\/m2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vosges<\/td><td>2573\u20ac\/m2<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Average price per square metre of a chalet in the various French mountain ranges, 2022<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/edito.seloger.com\/actualites\/regions\/top-10-stations-de-ski-plus-cheres-acheter-un-logement-2022-article-13251.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a9SeLoger<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Northern Alps, the average price\/m2 has risen by 8.2% over the last year and by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ledauphine.com\/amp\/magazine-immobilier\/2023\/01\/25\/stations-de-ski-les-alpes-du-nord-massif-le-plus-cher-de-france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">27% over the last three years.<\/a><\/strong> This compares with a 9.3% increase in the Southern Alps between 2022 and 2023, and an average increase of 4.6% in France over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-particular-case-of-the-alps\"><strong>The particular case of the Alps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The property market in Haute-Savoie stands out as one of the most dynamic in France.

This allows ski and snowboard enthusiasts to take full advantage of the pleasures of the slopes, while being in the heart of the ski areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the mountains, particularly in the Alps, ski resorts are well served by various transport networks, making it easy to get from one place to another. Whether it\u2019s free shuttle buses, interconnected ski lifts or public transport links, it\u2019s easy to move between the different resorts, offering a wide variety of slopes to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An added advantage is that you can live outside the resorts, yet still have quick and convenient access to the slopes. This means you can enjoy the peace of the surrounding villages, while being just a few minutes from the ski lifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Haute-Savoie region, for example, the A40 motorway links Geneva to a number of well-known ski resorts, including Meg\u00e8ve, Chamonix, Les Gets and Morzine. The A41 motorway provides quick access to resorts such as La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Flaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A view of the mountains from the balcony of a chalet\" class=\"wp-image-80294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/investir-montagne-vue-sommets-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-well-designed-travel-network\">A well-designed travel network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some resorts in the same ski area are linked together.
