MGM French Properties Offers its Top Summer Picks

It’s heating up in the French Alps! Leading Alpine developer MGM French Properties is bracing itself for an influx of property investors this summer season as holiday-goers look for more action packed adventure from their sunny season break. Specialising in the sale of luxury leaseback and outright ownership properties across the French Alps, MGM French Properties offers a wide collection of properties across some of the Alps most coveted summer destinations.

Discussing the appeal of the Alps as a year-round investment destination, Richard Deans of MGM
French Properties commented:“Often people think of the Alps as a winter ski destination, however, there is a lot of activity in the region in the summer months. In fact, Samoëns saw more visitors between June and August of 2015 than during the ski season. The Alps as a whole is an incredibly popular summer destination, with sales figures growing year-on-year in the warmer months. In fact a number of our resorts are fully booked for the entirety of the warm season, with visitors looking to take in the fresh air of the Alps during their summer break.”
