In the world of premium real estate, transactions are driven by more than just bricks and mortar; they are governed by the fundamental laws of economics. At Engel & Völkers, we look behind the curtain at the interplay of supply and demand, the invisible forces that dictate price, pace, and power in the global market.
Engel & Völkers presents this year’s ski ranking, highlighting the five most exclusive ski destinations worldwide. According to the latest survey, the most exclusive ski properties are currently found in the Swiss Alps: Gstaad in the Saanenland tops the ranking as the location with the highest real estate prices, followed by the prestigious ski resort of St. Moritz in Graubünden. Aspen, in the U.S. state of Colorado, takes third place, making it the most exclusive ski region in the Rocky Mountains. Neighboring Vail, as well as Park City in Utah, also rank among the five most sought-after winter destinations worldwide.
The real estate market remains one of the most closely watched pillars when it comes to building, consolidating, or passing on wealth. And 2025 has kicked off with a clear message: activity is picking up again, driven by a series of favorable tax measures and renewed buyer confidence.
