This is a pretty old theme (oldest above is 2007) and I'd be surprised if people searching for property didn't now know that a lot of famous areas have 'satellites' where the £/m2 is much lower.
The major UK estate agents like Savills (quoted in the Telegraph) and Knight Frank regularly publish what are pretty biased 'Reviews' of the alpine market, concluding - surprise, surprise - that it's a great investment. Especially in locations where they have offices or links to local agents :-)
For an unbiased analysis of Alpine property trends, I don't think you can beat the UBS Alpine Property Focus 2018, which is based on about 30 more sources than the agency ones, including public records of sales:
