Winter Skiers Warm Up to Eastern Europe Ski Resort Properties - 18 November 2009
Gone are the days when Brits frivolously fled to Switzerland or France for a ski holiday. For an affordable winter getaway, skiers are still investing in Eastern Europe ski property – even if in some regions, summer property has long cooled off.
A recent survey found that Romania was the top destination of British snow bunnies looking for a place to escape to on the cheap. The most popular Romanian resort, Poiana Brasov in Transylvania, features hotels, restaurants, sports facilities and nine ski slopes. It also boasts a snow layer that lasts about 120 days of the year. A nearby one-bedroom apartment runs about £60,000.
Bulgaria’s Basko and Pamporovo resorts are also popular with Brits and Western Europeans. Winters are milder in this country just south of Romania, and one-bedrooms start as low as £16,000.
Lesser-known property steals can be found in Turkey. Although the country is known for its 300 days of sunshine, most don’t realize that the Mediterranean destination is also home to a range of snow-capped mountains and quality ski conditions. In Turkey, outdoor enthusiasts can lay by the beach in the morning and then get whooshed away via cablecar to Mount Tahtali for an afternoon run on the slopes. Villas in the Kemer area go for about £55,000.
On the other hand, property near one the most popular resorts in all over Europe is virtually the same price. Luxury studio apartments in the High Tatras in Slovakia, home of the 2011 Winter Olympics, start at £60,000. Set 2,500 meters above sea level, the mountain range is ideal for skiing, hiking, rock climbing and cycling.
