  1. What we will say

This is not legal, tax, or investment advice. A resort apartment is a house in a copropriété that happens to be near a lift. The Games do not turn it into a bond.

What we will say

Purchases in France go through a notaire. Leaseback schemes and tourist residences have their own rules and their own arguments, and you should read those with a professional who is allowed to advise you. Service charges, rental bans in some copropriétés, and the week you are actually allowed to use the place decide whether a flat works. The organising committee’s €2.135 billion budget, adopted on 12 October 2026, is the cost of staging the Games. It is not a prediction that a studio in Courchevel will rise by any percentage.

An older page here was titled as a 2025 market report and carried a comparison of “yields”. Both have been removed. We do not have a dataset we are willing to publish as a return.

If you are choosing a valley to rent for a week rather than to buy, you want where to stay, not this page.
