Briançon (Serre Chevalier 1200) is the main town, so convenient for shopping, the train station, swimming pool, but the pistes are south-west facing so become slushy and rock-strewn very quickly. Chantemerle (Serre Chevalier 1300) has a lot of cheap 1970s purpose built blocks and is quite spread out, somewhat more commercial than picturesque. Chantemerle has lively evenings – for Serre Chevalier. Villeneuve (Serre Chevalier 1400) is a mix of some 1970s blocks as well as the pretty area of the old village, just over the Guisane River. Le Monêtier les Bains (Serre Chevalier 1500) is the most exclusive village with a lift, the least commercialised spot with a lift, due to the mayor’s office seeing what was happening as the development ran rampant in the valley and blocking such moves taking place.

The valley also has any villages such as Le Casset, Les Guibertes, Fressyinet and Saint-Chaffrey, which have maintained their charm, but you will have to consider their remoteness, many do not have village shops at all – and snow plough services in the winter might not come right to your door, well not for free anyway. There is also the ‘taxe foncière’ which is the ‘land tax’ to consider as well as the ‘taxe d’habitation’. The valley boasts five very individual mayorships and there can be a couple of thousand euro difference in the various charges you have to pay on property along the valley.

Besides offering some of the best skiing in North America, Park City offers a variety of other great outdoor recreational activities whether its winter or summer. Park City Utah is becoming a popular destination throughout the year. Golf is becoming a popular activity in Park City with many new golf communities being developed in the Park City area. The summer offers a great escape from the heat and humidity of other popular golf destinations. So if you enjoy golfing and skiing investing in a second home in Park City just might be a wise decision. Your Park City home will be a dual purpose property.

Park City is a great ski community for both full-time and part-time residents. Many part-time residents fall in love with the area and turn into full-time residents. It is a unique ski community with a large metropolitan area a short 30 minute drive away. There is no other ski community in North America that offers such a close proximity to a major metropolitan area.

There is a greater supply of ski in ski out property in the Park City area compared to other ski resort towns. The reason for this is that there is more privately held land surrounding the ski resorts in Park City than in other ski towns. Most ski resorts are surrounded by government owned land so development can not occur. In Park City a vast majority of the land surrounding the ski resorts in town are privately owned which offers more opportunities to develop ski in ski out properties. With a greater selection of ski property to choose from you will more likely find the right place for you and your family whether it’s a ski condo, townhome or luxury estate.

Park City offers a great free public transportation system that services a majority of the Park City area. You don’t need to live right at the resort with Park City’s fabulous free bus service. In many locations you are just a few bus stops from the lift. Condos at the ski resorts can start in the low $200,000′s and go up to $4 million and single family homes can start around $1 million and go up to $28 million. Ski property is more expensive right at the resort but you can find great savings a short 5 minute drive from the ski lifts.

Also, ski resort property owners that have their resort homes and condos primarily for personal use, typically own for use during family ski vacations. As kids grow up, parents get older, and grandchildren become part of the family, vacation choices and residence needs change. After one last ski season in a particular residence, many families choose to put their property on the market with the intention of upgrading to something larger, downgrading to something smaller, or cashing out of the ski resort environment altogether.

Since a great deal of ski resort real estate is held for rental income purposes, and since the ski season is the time of year with the lowest vacancy rates, this is also the time of year that prospective buyers are the least likely to be able to gain access to a home or condo that might be of interest to them. If a property is being rented out to a vacationer, the rental management company handling the property will not allow access to anyone else as doing so would certainly generate complaints from the guests. Prospective buyers know this and therefore schedule their property viewing appointments during those times of year that they are most likely to gain access.

Finally, in addition to the simple matter of availability mentioned above, driving around looking at property in winter conditions is not always a particularly pleasant experience. Many people would much rather spend their vacation time on the ski slopes than in the car during this time of year. And in the case of vacant land, snowshoes are often required to walk a property in the wintertime and engineering reports like wetland surveys and septic system studies need to be preformed in the spring and summer anyway.
