Sainte Foy Is The New Up And Coming French Ski Property Destination
One to Watch in 2010 – Hidden Gem of the French Alps Revealed
With France easily at the top of the charts in a recent survey of the top 10 winter ski resort destinations by budget airline easyJet, it is obvious that the British love affair with the French Alps is as strong as ever.
As was probable the high ranking resorts included Chamonix, Avoriaz, Meribel and Les Arcs but according to the French Ski property experts at Experience International, Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise, the hidden gem of the French Alps, is the location to keep an eye on in 2010.
Centrally situated in the Tarentaise Valley, home to notable resorts including Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne and La Rosiere, Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise has long been the preserve of experienced guides bringing people over from Val d’Isere which is just ten minutes away to enjoy the famous powder and off-piste skiing in the area. As Experience International’s MD Steven Worboys Stated,
“Sainte Foy is the ideal resort for both beginners & experiences skiers. The traditional Savoyard architecture, stunning scenery and relaxed family atmosphere appeal to real mountain lovers. The attractiveness and number of people seeking to enjoy Sainte Foy is only going to increase in 2010.”
Sainte Foy is proving not only an attractive winter vacation destination but also the ideal 2nd property destination due to its easy access from the UK (under 2 hours drive from Geneva which operates numerous direct budget flights to the UK), all year long attractiveness and cost of property up to half that of nearby areas.
With current concerns over the UK sterling strength investors are being cautious about committing to euro property purchases but as Steven Worboys explains, this should be of minimal concern as long as you invest in the correct development:
“In order to reduce exposure to the current weakness of the Pound investors should look for leaseback properties which require low deposits. The La Chapelle ski-in ski-out apartments for example can be invested in for a low 5% deposit to secure with 95% finance available.”
Well situated leaseback properties in particular are very attractive France investment property options for investors who can secure guaranteed rental returns for 18 years plus, index-linked, as is the case with La Chapelle as well as enjoying flexible personal usage.
Investment in the 4* luxury apartments in Sainte Foy is from as little as €12,000 which includes furniture, parking and purchase costs.
