Ski property Austria chalets are top for value 
Chalets in Austria are 30% better value than those of Switzerland says Savills, with increases of 211% recorded in Austria's first resort.

Ski lovers wanting to invest in mountain property should look to Austria for the biggest returns, says Savills. Research has shown that chalets in Austria are 30% better value than those in a comparable ski resort in Switzerland. 'There have been reported increases of 211% in the resort of Rauris, Austria within the last two years,' said Larry Levene, founder of Alpine Homes.

The positive research results have prompted Savills to enter the Austrian alpine market for the first time. Sch?ick Mountain Resort and Spa in the Rauris Valley is a development of 31 luxury chalet apartments, 100m away from the main gondolas for the expanding Rauris ski area.

Rauris, founded in 1902, is the original Austrian ski resort. It is situated amid national park in the heart of Salzburgerland. The valley boasts two of the biggest glaciers in Austria, offering ski-touring throughout the year. Superb skiing, rafting, mountain biking, mountain biking and mountaineering can all be done from the town and there are 46km of groomed cross-country piste. The resort is easily accessible with over 150 flights a week to Salzburg from 14 UK & Ireland airports.
