Top Global Ski Destinations Showing Strong Long Term Investment Promise
A twenty year analysis from Savills shows that mountain homes remain one of the most reliable real estate investments for high net worth buyers. Despite short term fluctuations across regions, long term performance remains exceptionally strong, especially in Aspen and top Swiss resorts. Rising demand for year round alpine living is reshaping how wealthy buyers evaluate lifestyle, value and future appreciation.
Key Points
• Aspen remains the top performer in the global ultra prime ski market with the highest average asking prices.
• Swiss resorts show consistent long term growth with values nearly doubling over twenty years.
• The US market is more volatile but leads all regions with the strongest twenty year price gains.
• Climate resilience, foreign buyer access and supply levels are now major factors in property decisions.
As demand, scarcity and lifestyle priorities continue to drive competition, the world’s premier ski resorts are positioned for sustained long term growth. For buyers focused on stability and exclusivity, mountain properties remain a compelling investment avenue.
