Alps Home Prices Rise Across Switzerland 2025.

Property prices in the Swiss Alps continue to rise sharply, according to the latest Alpine Property Index released by UBS. The report shows that residential property values in Alpine regions have increased by nearly 4% in 2025 alone, reflecting strong demand for homes in Switzerland’s most prestigious mountain destinations.

The price growth is particularly visible in popular tourist and luxury resort towns, where limited land availability and high international demand continue to push values upward. Holiday homes and high-end apartments in these regions remain highly sought after by both local and foreign buyers.

Among the most expensive locations, Gstaad stands out as the top-ranked Alpine property market, with average prices reaching around 25,200 Swiss francs per square meter for premium holiday residences. The Engadin / St. Moritz region follows closely at approximately 24,000 francs per square meter, while Verbier records around 23,600 francs.

Other high-value markets include Andermatt, where property prices reach about 22,200 francs per square meter, and Zermatt, with average prices around 21,000 francs per square meter. These figures highlight the continued strength of Switzerland’s luxury real estate sector.

Experts say the ongoing price surge is driven by several factors, including rising tourism demand, limited construction land in mountain regions, and strong interest from international investors seeking stable and premium real estate assets in Switzerland.

Analysts also note that Alpine properties are increasingly viewed as both lifestyle investments and long-term financial assets, further supporting sustained price growth across the region.

With demand remaining strong, the Swiss Alpine property market is expected to stay competitive, especially in high-end resort destinations where supply remains limited.

Swiss Parliament Boosts Non-Profit Housing Fund.

The Swiss Parliament has approved a significant increase in funding designed to support non-profit housing projects and improve access to affordable homes.

The Senate voted in favor of increasing the Fonds de Roulement by CHF150 million for the period between 2030 and 2034. This revolving fund provides loans to non-profit housing organizations for new construction projects, property renovations, and the purchase of residential buildings.

The measure forms part of Switzerland’s broader strategy to address housing shortages and rising property costs affecting many regions of the country. Affordable housing remains a major concern for households facing increasing rents and limited housing availability.

In addition to expanding the fund, the Senate also agreed to continue a federal guarantee program that supports housing development. Through this mechanism, the Swiss Confederation guarantees bonds issued by the financing center for non-profit housing developers. These guarantees help organizations secure financing under more favorable conditions and lower borrowing costs.

For this purpose, Parliament approved a commitment credit worth CHF1.92 billion covering the period from 2027 to 2033. The financial backing is expected to provide long-term stability for housing initiatives and encourage additional investment in affordable residential projects.

The House of Representatives had previously endorsed the same proposals, allowing the measures to move forward with broad parliamentary support.

Housing affordability has become an increasingly important issue across Switzerland, particularly in urban centers where demand continues to outpace supply. Rising rents and limited housing stock have placed pressure on many families, students, and lower-income residents.

Supporters of the funding expansion argue that strengthening the non-profit housing sector will help create sustainable, affordable living options while supporting balanced urban development. The new investments are expected to play a key role in addressing Switzerland’s long-term housing needs.
