Reasons to Invest in an Apartment in Tignes

There are many reasons to invest in an apartment in Tignes:

This very lively resort is a mecca for skiers, with a ski season that runs from autumn to late spring, but is also a leading summer destination thanks to an extensive range of outdoor activities well-established over several decades. This results in healthy year-round occupancy rates, with optimal rental incomes, allowing owners to spread their risks over twelve months rather than just the winter season
Tignes has also successfully built a reputation as a desirable lifestyle destination with its shops, fine dining (including two Michelin starred restaurants), and clubs attracting a new generation of visitors. The resort is also very popular with lovers of nature and the great outdoors thanks to its status as the gateway to the Vanoise national park, the largest in France

Tignes' real estate has been transformed with the construction of new high-end residences which has moved the resort upmarket with accommodation that combines style, comfort and an aspirational lifestyle. More affordable prices than in Courchevel or Val d'Isère make Tignes a more accessible option to acquire a mountain property with potential to be a profitable asset as well as an enjoyable second home. Situated above the beautiful Lac du Chevril in a natural amphitheatre of mountain peaks, Tignes also benefits from its natural surroundings as the new residences blend harmoniously into the resort's urban landscape.
