Nearly a quarter of all foreign breaks taken by Britons last year were spent in private homes, 60 per cent of them booked online through the owners, according to Mintel, with websites such as Holiday Rentals, Holiday Lettings or Owners Direct charging owners about £100 a year to advertise a property on the site. Take some tips from Holiday Rentals, which features 900 European ski chalets and apartments, mainly in France, Switzerland and Austria, and will be taking on 2,000 in North American this year. Taking areas that have a good supply of properties, and basing results on the number of inquiries per property, Holiday Rentals has found that the top spot for ski rental demand is the upmarket Austrian resort of Kitzbuhel, whose glaciers provide Europe’s only four-season skiing from September to June. The bottom five ski destinations for rental prospects suggest bad news for Bulgarian buyers hoping to prosper from holiday lets.

At the Three Sisters Mountain Village in Canmore in the Canadian Rockies, the local passion for active outdoor pursuits - from skiing and climbing to mountain biking and golf - is unwavering, ensuring good 12-month rental potential. read more
