Sweeping views from highrise spots are top of mind in this week’s look at luxury real estate around the world. From the mountain scenery of Valais, Switzerland, to waterway views of Hong Kong’s southern district of Tai Tam, here’s a look at what about $3.75 million buys in three luxury housing markets around the world.
Nendaz, Valais, Switzerland
The Valais region of Switzerland is home to some of the world’s most prestigious resort towns including the commune of Nendaz. A popular holiday destination for families, Nendaz boasts miles of hiking trails along eight historical irrigation channels and access to what some consider are the best ski slopes in the region. During the summer, the area is home to the annual Valais Drink Pure Alphorn Festival.
This rustic-chic apartment has a beautiful mountain view and ideal proximity to the main lift station to Four Valleys — the highest point of the ski area.
Price: $3.707 million (approximate)
Size: Six bedrooms, six bathrooms
Inside: High ceilings, knotted wood siding and exposed beams lend a lodge-like quality to the home, which features a rustic stone fireplace in the living room.

Outside living space: There are balconies extending from the living room and bedrooms for taking in the mountain scenery. Residents also have access to a central area with an open stone fireplace and outdoor hot tub. Two parking spaces in the garage are also included.
