Pyrénées? The biggest ski area
is Tourmalet in the Hautes
Pyrénées, made up of two
resorts, Bareges and La Mongie.
The old spa town of Bareges is
the second oldest ski resort in
France. You'll find that Cauteret
and St-Lary Soulon are also
popular.
SEASONALITY
Just like the Alps, the resorts
here offer varied summer activities so that they
are a year long
attraction. That said, if rental
returns are your priority, you'll
be attracted by the higher rates
and demand of Alpine resorts
which are on the shortlist of
most serious international
investors.
AFFORDABILITY
Your money certainly goes
a long way in the Pyrénées,
whether you are buying a
grande créme or a chalet.
Yvonne tells us that you can
get a three bedroom property
for €170,000 to €200,000, or
a one bedroom apartment for
around €115,000 in the "hot
spot" of Bagneres-de-Luchon.
Indeed the average price of an
apartment in the Pyrénées is
just €1,280 per m2, although
naturally you'll pay more to be
in a resort itself.
