Investing in the mountains in 2020: why choose Courchevel?

If investing in the mountains is becoming increasingly popular, carefully considering the location of your future property is crucial. For a rental investment, Courchevel is the ideal solution. Indeed, it is the perfect resort for investing in the mountains, with the promise of an excellent return. If you don't wish to rent, Courchevel also offers the opportunity to enjoy a pied-à-terre in an exceptional setting, for holidays in both winter and summer. Here are some good reasons to consider a real estate investment in the mountains.

The Advantages of Courchevel, Attracting a Public in Search of Excellence

Created about 70 years ago to give young people the opportunity to discover the mountains and its various activities, Courchevel is now one of the most prestigious living and vacation destinations in the French Alps. And for good reason: the resort has succeeded in its goal by attracting an increasingly diverse clientele, including celebrities, giving it a reputation for excellence over the years. With its 5-star palaces and as part of the 3 Valleys domain, Courchevel is the perfect place to invest in the mountains.

A Broad Real Estate Offering, but a Stable Market for Buyers

The real estate offering in Courchevel is quite broad: it ranges from studios in older buildings, priced around €5,000 per square meter, to new, prestigious apartments at €10,000 per square meter, including the iconic chalets, where prices can reach up to €45,000 per square meter. However, prices in Courchevel remain stable, and rental yields are high: buyers have the choice between purchasing for personal enjoyment to enhance their vacations or making a smart investment with rental property.

Choosing Between “Pleasure” Purchase and Rental Investment

It is estimated that for a two-room apartment of about 30 to 50 m², weekly rentals can yield a profit of around €1,550. A great result for those looking to make a rental investment in Courchevel! Mostly located at an altitude of 1800 meters, the resort attracts an international clientele eager to enjoy themselves or make a genuine investment. Indeed, the tax advantages of such an investment are appealing: with a status as a Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), the buyer can expect a 50% deduction on income. And since 60% of properties are rented out year-round in Courchevel, the risk of not generating income is minimal.

A Wide Range of Prestigious Properties, from Villages to the Slopes

Investing in Courchevel also means having a wide choice of prestigious properties, whether in villages offering breathtaking views of the peaks, or at the foot of the slopes to be at the heart of mountain activities, such as in Bellecôte or Cospillot, with direct access to the slopes. It is possible to invest in a typical Savoyard chalet at altitude, which will be among the most expensive properties, or in a high-end apartment offering exceptional amenities.
