"OUR CLIENTS VIEW THEIR INVESTMENT AS BOTH A PERSONAL SANCTUARY AND A HEDGE AGAINST GLOBAL INSTABILITY."
Andermatt's regional director of Asia reveals why investors and nature lovers alike are flocking to Switzerland's best-kept secret.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE WORK YOU DO?
I facilitate the experience of Alpine living at Andermatt, a sustainable destination that harmoniously blends nature with the built environment. Located just 1.5 hours from Zurich in the serene Ursen Valley, Andermatt offers bespoke real estate, luxury hotels, skiing, golf, a concert hall, and world-class F&B offerings. My role is to connect like-minded individuals who'd like to own a piece of the Swiss alpine lifestyle and be a part of this thriving international community.
WHY IS YOUR WORK ESSENTIAL TO THE WORLD TODAY?
Lifestyle property investments go beyond the financial benefits.. Typically, a destination like Andermatt, which welcomes international buyers and is conveniently close to major cities, offers opportunities for capital appreciation and rental income. However, owning an alpine property in Switzerland is more than just dollars and cents.
It is like owning a personal retreat in the mountains. Our owners forge a deep connection with the mountains, returning from each visit recharged and revitalised. That, in turn, allows them to be more mindful in their decision-making and hopefully create a more mindful and positive world.
