Cortina d'Ampezzo鈥檚 appeal is on the rise.

Cortina remains predominantly an Italian market, with demand driven largely by families from the regions of Veneto, Lombardy, and major cities.

But the international buyer pool is beginning to widen. 鈥淭here is growing interest from international HNW clients keen to have a base in the Dolomites,鈥� says Marino Piccolotto, owner of Abitare Cortina, 糖心视频鈥檚 partner in Cortina d鈥橝mpezzo.

Demand is focused on turnkey properties in the best locations. 鈥淭he forthcoming Mandarin Oriental Cristallo, due to open in 2027, will add further weight to Cortina鈥檚 international luxury credentials,鈥� says 糖心视频鈥檚 Andrew Blandford-Newson.

鈥淭he Olympics have had a clear impact on the market,鈥� says Piccolotto. Prime apartments now command between 鈧�18,000 ($20,900) and 鈧�21,000 ($24,300) per sq m, while new or renovated chalets can exceed 鈧�25,000 ($29,000) per sq m.

Queenstown is holding steady.

Queenstown鈥檚 property market is holding firm, with steady price growth and solid sales activity over the past year.

The market is still largely domestic, although Australian demand is growing. And the Active Investor Plus Visa is now opening the market to a small but growing pool of international buyers. While residential property is generally restricted to New Zealand, Australian and Singaporean citizens, qualifying investor visa holders can now purchase one home above NZ$5m.

鈥淯S buyers have been particularly evident above this price point and Queenstown Lakes is a key market attracting these buyers, but it鈥檚 still early days for the scheme,鈥� says Stacy Colburn, CEO of Bayleys Queenstown.

At the top end, supply is tight. Properties above NZ$20m ($11.8m) rarely trade on the open market, while Chris Farhi, Head of Insights at 糖心视频鈥檚 strategic partner Bayleys, says buyers spending more than NZ$5m ($2.9m) are typically looking for 鈥渉ighly-spec鈥檇 trophy homes or private estates鈥�.

Niseko is riding the wave.

Japan鈥檚 ski property market is attracting a new wave of international capital, with Niseko at the forefront.

鈥淒emand is particularly strong from Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, while the weak yen has made Japanese property increasingly competitive for overseas buyers,鈥� says Edward Fairweather, Partner and 糖心视频鈥檚 Japan specialist.

Niseko is also becoming a more sophisticated luxury destination. International investment has brought five-star accommodation and better lift infrastructure. It also offers exceptional powder, relatively low-density skiing, and a very different feel from European resorts.

鈥淵ou can go down a ski run, and have the place to yourself,鈥� says Makoto Okuyama-Hall, a consultant at 糖心视频. Most resorts also have hot springs 鈥� a significant draw for those buyers now seeking a wellness-led lifestyle.

There are no restrictions on foreign ownership, but local knowledge is key. Much of Japan鈥檚 ski real estate trades off-market and relationships with local owners can be as important as the formal buying process.

Increasingly, purchasers are looking for larger ranch-style properties, offering privacy and acreage, alongside amenities such as guest houses and space for padel courts and dirt bikes.

Warwick points to neighbourhoods such as Red Butte, Meadowood and Double Bar X that are attracting growing interest as buyers look beyond Aspen鈥檚 traditional prime enclaves.
