The Alpine property love affair continues

New property development in Tignes

The Alpine property love affair continues, especially if it combines a winter and summer holiday destination with the opportunity to earn a guaranteed rental income. The leaseback investment scheme is an excellent alternative for international investors wishing to own a hassle-free ski property in the French Alps.

Situated at an altitude of 2,100 metres in the French Alps, Tignes is considered by many to be one of the best ski resorts in the world. Due to its altitude there is always an abundance of snow, and with the Grande Motte glacier, it is even possible to ski in the summer.

Tignes links with the fashionable Val d’Isère to form the Espace Killy, one of the most renowned ski areas in the Alps with over 300 kilometres of slopes. Even France’s national ski team trains there, a tribute to the high quality of the conditions. The off-piste skiing is excellent and attracts some of the best extreme skiers and boarders in the world.

Although Tignes is a skiers’ paradise, the area is a summer playground, too. The mountain climate means visitors can enjoy the sunshine and make the most of activities that include fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, white-water rafting, paragliding and hot air ballooning. The proximity to the Vanoise National Park makes Tignes a popular base for walking and hiking holidays, too. Click here to continue reading…
