  • So knowledgeable and insightful

    This podcast is AMAZING, it is so insightful and full of wisdom, I reckon that what Steve doesn’t know about ski resorts in France & Switzerland isn’t worth knowing! As a customer of Alpine Property Investments, if there is one hand you want holding you through an alpine purchase, it is Lesley’s! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

  • I love the detail…

    I really enjoyed the way this has been put together with such care and attention. Using a comparison with their own children the producers bring a lot of context to the discussion. This has been really good timing for me as we are about to book a family holiday with children of a wide age range.

    This has been very informative and useful, and I do like the way that it comes across as being very unbiased. As we are considering buying a bolt hole away from it all, this show will be our guide…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

61. La Toussuire & Les Sybelles: A UK Buyers’ Inside Guide
Q: How long did it take from deciding to look to getting the keys?
We started looking in 2024, scheduled a Look-See in September, and got the keys on December 20th. It was a fast process because the development was well underway and the sellers pulled out all stops to have our unit ready for Christmas.
61. La Toussuire & Les Sybelles: A UK Buyers’ Inside Guide
Q: What led you to buy an apartment in La Toussuire?
We had been discussing buying somewhere in the winter for years, and when we visited California and Colorado, we realized there was a time to act. A weekend in September visiting the region convinced us it could work, and after meeting the developer we decided this was the place.
58. Market Moves: Tips, Trends and What’s Next
Q: What changes do you anticipate in the Alpine Property Market over the next five to ten years?
Expect a shift toward higher-altitude skiing, more emphasis on summer use, and markets that balance access (airport proximity) with diverse year-round activities like cycling.
58. Market Moves: Tips, Trends and What’s Next
Q: Is buying purely for rental returns still valuable, or is lifestyle the bigger driver?
Lifestyle is emphasized as investable alongside rental potential; tourism-driven occupancy requires realistic expectations (55-90%), with ROI balancing running costs and seasonal variations.
58. Market Moves: Tips, Trends and What’s Next
Q: What's the biggest mistake people make when looking for a ski property?
Trying to visit too many resorts in too short a time; they advise focusing on priorities, proximity to airports, ski domain size, and preferred property type to narrow the search fast.
