The Valais framework

Short-term renting in Valais: what you need to know

01A tourist tax specific to each municipality

In Valais, each municipality sets its own tourist tax: the amount, whether an annual flat rate exists and how often returns are filed are not the same in Zermatt, Verbier or Nendaz. The tax is owed by the guest, but the host collects and remits it. Our concierge service automates collection, declaration and remittance for the properties we manage. Details resort by resort: tourist tax in Verbier, in Zermatt and in Nendaz.

02The Lex Weber regulates, it does not ban renting

The Lex Weber regulates second homes in most Alpine municipalities, but it does not prohibit renting them out. A home rented regularly to guests, a so-called "warm bed", is not treated like a dormant second home. The exact rule depends on when the property was built, its designated use and your municipality's regulations. Our article Lex Weber explained to owners covers the subject, and we establish your property's precise status during the audit.

03Notifying the municipality and condominium rules

Renting out generally has to be notified to the municipality, and in a building held in condominium ownership (PPE), the condominium regulations may restrict renting or the installation of a key box. These points are checked before the first booking: we go through them with you during the audit. Resort by resort: regulations in Verbier, in Zermatt and in Crans-Montana.

Owners at a distance

Do you live far from your property, in Switzerland or abroad?

In the resorts, owners usually live far from their home: in Geneva, Zurich, London or further afield. They cannot welcome guests, organise cleaning or react to a heating failure on a high-season Saturday. That is exactly what our local presence removes, from key handover to checking the property after every departure.

On the tax side, income from a property located in Switzerland is taxable there, even if you live abroad, and a double taxation treaty then governs how it is treated in your country. We do not replace your tax adviser, but we provide the detailed reporting they need: nights, income, expenses and tourist tax.

Our two guides for owners living abroad: tax, insurance and Lex Koller, and what happens between two stays when you manage a chalet from abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Which Valais resorts do you cover?

How much does Airbnb management in Valais cost?

Our commission is 25% of the net amount, after deducting platform fees (Airbnb, Booking), transaction fees and cleaning. You only pay on what your property actually earns.

Is the tourist tax the same throughout Valais?

No. Each municipality sets its own tourist tax: the amount, whether an annual flat rate exists and how often returns are filed differ between Zermatt, Verbier and Nendaz. The tax is owed by the guest, but the host collects and remits it. Our concierge service automates collection, declaration and remittance for the properties we manage.

Does the Lex Weber stop me from renting out my home?

No. The Lex Weber regulates second homes but does not prohibit renting them out. The exact rule depends on when the property was built, its designated use and your municipality's regulations: we establish your property's precise status during the free audit.

I live abroad: can I entrust my Valais property to you?

Yes, it is actually the most common situation in the resorts. Income from a property located in Switzerland is taxable there, even if you live abroad, and a double taxation treaty then governs how it is treated in your country. We do not replace your tax adviser, but we provide the detailed reporting they need: nights, income, expenses and tourist tax.

Can I still use my home?

Yes. You block your dates freely in the calendar and we make the most of the rest of the year. Your holiday home remains yours.
