In our latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Constance Dupont and Gabin Flon from Cimalpes, alongside Mark Lightfoot of SnowOnly, delving into the captivating world of La Rosiere, France.
This high-altitude ski resort, nestled at 1850 meters, is not just a haven for ski enthusiasts but also a burgeoning hotspot for real estate investors and families looking for the perfect getaway.
Introduction to La Rosiere
La Rosiere stands out as a "balcony resort," offering south-facing panoramic views of the valley, earning it the nickname "Alpine Riviera" because of its sunny disposition.
Its proximity to other major ski areas like Tignes and Val d'Isere, combined with the unique cross-border access to Italy's La Thuile, makes it a versatile skiing destination. The resort's traditional charm and family-friendly atmosphere are backed by the assurance of being one of the top three highest snowfalls in the Alps.
The Thriving Real Estate Market
The podcast highlighted La Rosiere's dynamic real estate market, which remains vibrant with the promise of growth and development. Properties start at around 5,000 EUR per sq.m for renovation needs, attracting a diverse range of buyers.
The market is notably liquid, with properties selling quickly, partly due to the resort's limited but high-demand offerings. New developments, focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency, have seen a rise in prices, reflecting the resort's ongoing allure and the potential for significant returns on investment.
Skiing and Resort Facilities
La Rosiere's dual-season appeal is undeniable, with 155 km of slopes that cater to both French and Italian skiers under the Espace San Bernardo area. Its family-plus label signifies a wealth of activities suitable for all ages, making it an ideal family destination.
The addition of new sectors has expanded free-ride skiing opportunities, further enhancing its attractiveness to ski enthusiasts.
Looking Towards the Future
The conversation with Constance and Gabin shed light on La Rosiere's future, which looks bright with plans for further development.
Following the trend of more renowned resorts but with a delay, La Rosiere is poised for significant infrastructural enhancements and an anticipated rise in property values. This progressive trajectory makes it an exciting time for potential investors.

La Rosiere emerges from our discussion as a resort that blends traditional charm with modern appeal, offering a compelling mix of skiing, investment opportunities, and family-friendly activities. As it stands on the cusp of further development, now is an opportune time to consider what this unique border resort has to offer.
