As with resort destinations in other parts of the world, many prospective residents may seek to ‘try before they buy’ by renting property in their desired destination. Whether it is for one week, one month, or for the entire season, skiers are choosing to rent property in some of the top alpine destinations around the world.

Ski locations are as varied as the mountains themselves. From quaint alpine towns to large resorts the world over, many skiers will choose to rent property in ski markets for several seasons, before they decide to purchase in their chosen resort. To ‘try before you buy’ in ski locations comes at a cost, however, depending on the length of stay and resort.

For those looking to try out a resort for a short period, apartments can be rented in prime ski locations for an average of between €2,200 and €5,100 for a one- to three-bedroom apartment for a week, though there is significant variation by location. Chalets, with their additional space and privacy, come at an additional cost for the week, averaging over €10,000.

For those looking to spend even more time on the slopes, renting alpine property for a month during the ski season can cost anywhere from €7,500 for a one-bedroom flat, up to nearly €30,000 for a chalet. Seasonaires who wish to stay even longer – typically for the entire season – can expect to pay approximately €30,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and over €100,000 for a chalet.
