One of the questions Val Thorens property owners regularly ask us is whether they should get a hot-tub/spa installed in their chalet. This isn’t a straightforward question to answer because there are numerous things to consider before installing a hot-tub.

 

Firstly, purchasing a hot-tub and installing isn’t cheap and will require the help of a professional. There are also costs associated with maintaining the hot-tub, such as changing the water and ensuring the correct chemical balances. However, if you rent your property a hot-tub can be a good investment.

 

It is difficult to say what effect a hot-tub will have on your weekly price, however, a hot-tub will definitely increase your occupancy levels, which are the key driver of long term returns.

 

If you don’t rent your property then you should consider how much you and your family will use the hot-tub. If you are only in resort a few weeks a year it is a big financial commitment. Though some people love nothing more than having a soak after a long day on the slopes so the investment is worthwhile.

 

We work alongside a number of companies that install and maintain hot-tubs for property owners in Val Thorens.
