Apres-Ski
by Roger Munns
 European
tax haven Andorra enjoys the same fiscal benefits as better known Monaco,
adding to property demand from those looking for residency in a tax shelter
as well as traditional ski chalet buyers who flock to the country between
December and April each year.
With the end of the ski season
last month many ski resorts in Europe have closed up shop until early December
with overseas property owners having little prospect of rental income in
the summer months.
But tiny Andorra, nestled
between France and Spain in the Pyrenees and the sixteenth smallest country
in the world, is increasingly attracting out of season tourists and property
owners are seeing a rise in overall occupancy levels and return on their
investment.
Cycling, pony trekking, and
hillwalking are some of the pursuits attracting tourists and potential
property owners heading for the mountains outside of Andorra's ski season.
Andorra's capital la Vella is full of duty free shops, restaurants, clubs
and bars. Coupled with the mountain scenery and lakes Andorra has seen
a rise in the number of out of season tourists in recent years, and the
letting season extend from just the winter months to include the spring
and summer.
For a country with a population
of 77,000 Andorra attracted a surprising 9 million tourists last year,
and with more visitors in the summer months predictions are that this will
rise to ten million this year.
Ryanair and easyJet are two
of the low cost carriers flying to Barcelona and Girona airports, the onward
journey time to Andorra's capital la Vella is two and a half hours by coach
or car.
