The launch of a supplement dedicated to ski property reflects the growing interest in winter-sports destinations amongst British buyers. The idea of combining business with pleasure is seducing buyers seeking high capital growth and maximum use from their second home.

In introducing this exciting new publication Amanda Lamb of A Place in Sun said “With more of us tapping into the exhilarating ski culture, so grows the appeal of buying a property in one of the world’s many snowy destinations…”

Of the 6 resorts featured as “tomorrow’s ski hotpots” two are located in Haute-Savoie: Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and Flaine. Ascendant Managing Director Paul Wiseman is quoted as saying “property (in Saint Gervais) is cheaper than neighbouring Megeve and Chamonix and easy access from Geneva Airport means that there is a buoyant rental and resale market…property prices (in Saint Gervais) increased by 16% in 2006 and we are seeing consistently strong demand from buyers seeking to invest in this lively and attractive resort”.

Ascendant has an extensive portfolio of property in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and the surrounding area. The resort forms part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski domain, which has over 500km of ski pistes to put at your disposal, as well as a multitude of summertime activities to enjoy. Buyers are being drawn by the year-round potential for their investment, the fabulous scenery and ease of access. Saint Gervais is fast becoming the place to be for the British ski set and no longer a well-kept French secret.
