In a market flooded by aging lodges & pensions but no residentials, renovating can sometimes be an alternative to building new. Careful selection of the right property can sometimes allow for a cost effective alternative to a new building of the same size.
In the era when these lodges were built the demands of the consumer differed greatly to holidayers and skiers of today.There are extensive architectural and structural changes needed to these properties to have any resemblance to accommodation or lodging found in other premier ski resorts around the world.
Great care must be taken when purchasing these properties with the intention to renovate. Poor insulation, small rooms, high running costs, low doorways, communal bathrooms and odd floor plans are some disadvantages of choosing this as an option. If the right property can be found at the right price some advantages include, large total floor space, premium location and access.
