Where to find your ideal second home in Switzerland

Swiss resorts attract a wide range of visitors, from ski enthusiasts to mountain bikers, hikers, paragliders and mountain‑running lovers. Those offering a rich calendar of sporting events also tend to generate strong interest among investors.

In 2023, two distinct trends emerged, reflecting the diverse motivations of buyers. High‑altitude resorts such as St. Moritz, as well as year‑round destinations like Verbier, recorded exceptional performance. Buyers either favoured resorts guaranteeing extended ski seasons with reliable snow conditions, or sought destinations offering a broad variety of activities both on and off the slopes, combined with a lively atmosphere during the summer months.

Feet in the water

Owning a second home in Switzerland, especially near the lakes, means enjoying an experience where natural splendour meets a remarkable quality of life. These regions are filled with calm and beauty, offering an ideal refuge for those seeking tranquillity.

From Lake Geneva to Lake Zurich and Lake Lucerne, Switzerland’s lakeshores deliver postcard‑perfect scenery. Properties by the water grant exclusive views, easy access to water activities and a soothing, timeless ambiance.‌
