This is a selection of comments made by past clients who booked with Ski Collection in previous years.

 

“The service received from ski collection was excellent, as was the accommodation. It was also extremely good value for money and the free car parking space was an excellent benefit. We are certainly considering booking with ski collection again if we decide to ski in France next year.”

Mrs W – Les Granges du Soleil, La Plagne

 

“Ski Collection staffs at booking were brilliant and those in the resort were 1st class especially Catherine and Ashlin on reception.”

Mr W - Sun Valley, La Plagne

 

“I just wanted to say thank you for helping to organise the skiing holiday we returned from last night. So good that as soon as your bookings for next season open we would like to reserve the same combination of 2 apartments with 2 car parking spaces at Les Nereides in Belle Plagne for next February half term week (commencing Saturday 13th February 2010). Many thanks for your help.”

Mrs B – La Plagne

 

“Also I would like to say how impressed I was with your efficiency, helpfulness and cheery manner, believe me I have spoken to plenty of ski firms in the last couple of weeks, many of which have been fairly clueless! Thanks”

Mrs H - La Plagne

 

“We got back just over a week ago and thought I would just let you know that we had a fantastic week. The apartment was absolutely perfect, huge, beautifully decorated and perfect position for the nursery ski school which was right below our balcony so all your research on our behalf was much appreciated - Many thanks for all your assistance - I will also be recommending you - it was delightful to do business with you. ”
Mrs S - La Plagne

 

“As always a wonderful holiday, easy to book, no hassles on arrival, excellent location perfect for family skiers. Well done ski collection....”

Mrs B – Les Granges du Soleil, La Plagne

 

“Just a big thank you for all your hard work. We had a great holiday and a fabulous apartment, fantastic views, very spacious and ski room right on the piste.”

Mrs C – Le Centaure, La Plagne

 

“We had a fantastic holiday - thanks for all your help it went like clockwork. Thanks for the great snow and sunshine - you must be well connected!

Copy this to your boss, he needs to know that you do your job well.”

Mr L–Les Balcons de Belle Plagne, La Plagne

 

“Excellent holiday at a cost much better than alternative packages.”

Mrs B – Aspen, La Plagne

 

“Taxi from station was very good. Reliable and plenty of room for the party of 6 with luggage.”

Mrs P - Le Centaure, La Plagne

 

“Le Centaure was ideal for a family with small children going to the Ski Kindergarten as you could watch them from the balcony!”

Mrs P - Le Centaure, La Plagne

 

“We booked our holiday through Hayley both this year & last. She has been efficient & helpful on both occasions & is a credit to your company. We have skied for many years mostly in Tignes/Val D' Isere & have historically booked and arranged it ourselves & always drive out there, however the cheaper flexi-passes that you offer & also paying in pounds instead of Euro's in the current climate does help to reduce & control our holiday costs. I would definitely recommend your company to our friends. I would also like to add that we had an experienced group of skiers with us spanning three generations from the age of 15 months to 88 (my Dad - an older polish ski jumping champion!) - All of which managed to ski together! Surely that's the oldest & youngest skiers anyone knows! Thanks again for helping to tailor a holiday to meet our needs!”

Mrs B – Le Telemark, Tignes

 

“The information packs you provided were invaluable and everything went smoothly. The apartments were perfect; clean, wonderfully decorated and had ample room for all of us! It was perfectly located and great value for money. Collection of our passes and skis went smoothly and this was because of the great system you have, Thank you once again for everything, I will be in contact later this year for the next ski season!”

Mrs R – La Ferme du Val Claret, Tignes

 

“We had a fantastic holiday in Val Claret - wonderful apartments and would definitely like to book for next year.”

Mrs R – Le Nevada, Tignes

 

“Had a fantastic time and Ski Collection made things very easy. Very impressed with how easy it was with regards to vouchers for ski hire and ski passes in Tignes. Very good system, completely hassle free. Would have no hesitation in booking through you again. Many thanks.”

Mr A – La Ferme du Val Claret , Tignes

 

“We had an absolutely wonderful time - thank you all for your part in this! This is the second time we've booked via you & would recommend you to anyone.

The apartment was in an excellent location for my ski-mad sons & their Mum & Dad had a great time too. The apartment (an MGM one) was well equipped, comfortable & had a lovely view onto the slopes. The front desk staff couldn't have been more helpful & friendly - one of the results of this is that I am now extremely fond of almond croissants!

In short, we hope to go back again one of these days...hopefully before I'm too creaky to ski.”

Mr A – La Ferme du Val Claret, Tignes

 

“Thank you very much for helping to organise a very successful ski holiday. Great accommodation and snow! Thanks.”

Mrs D – Hotel Village Montana, Tignes

 

“Just returned after an excellent holiday at Village Montana in Tignes. Seven days of brilliant sunshine and near perfect skiing conditions!”

Mr D – Village Montana, Tignes

 

“We used Ski Collection because of its links with Peak Retreats who we have used on numerous occasions before. We liked the fact that Ski Collection offered accommodation at the bigger French resorts which Peak Retreats tends to avoid.”

MrsO - Village Montana, Tignes

 

“Just a quick email with some info and to say thank you on behalf of our party for all your help booking our skiing accommodation. We had an absolute brilliant time unfortunately It went far to quick, Les Brevieres all be it a small resort was perfect for us over 30's, there was a couple of good bars Vincent's which showed the live football, Rugby, sports etc was a really cool Dutch bar, next to that was a local French bar which was good for a couple of beers straight after the slopes and across from that was a club/ bar called the underground which had a bit more of a younger vibe..

The snow and weather conditions was the best we have ever had only down fall was that you loose the sun in the afternoon unless you ski further over the mountain, which we did..

The restaurant that you had recommended the one that does the chalet catering was fantastic unfortunately we only went there on the last night!! Otherwise we would have gladly of got fat eating there every night…

Chalet Belvedere was really nice with great views over the lakes and towards the mountains.

Thanks again for all your help sorting out the baby furniture and for the taxi list, You were really helpful and we will definitely be booking through yourself and Ski Collection again. Best wishes”

Mr M - Tignes les Brevieres

 

“Thought I’d drop you a line to let you know how our holiday went.  Val Thorens is a great resort & we skied into Les Menuires, Courchevel 1850 and Meribel so got a feel for these resorts also.  The pistes in Val T. all come back down into the valley so it was easy for the children to find their way round.  Chalet was very good & spacious accommodation.   Toboggan run was brilliant fun with children & adults enjoying it.

Overall a brilliant holiday with good conditions and lovely sunshine.  Thanks to you for your help and we will certainly book through you again.”

Mrs C - Val Thorens

 

“Very impressed with Ski Collection! Although our first choice of accommodation was not available we were offered 5 others for same price. Village Montana apartment in Val Thorens was excellent, very spacious and clean, and excellent parking below the apartments. The Flexiplus upgrade on the Eurotunnel was unexpectedly brilliant! Overall, I can't fault Ski Collection and will definitely be booking with them again.”

Mrs H – Val Thorens

 

“I have been meaning to write to thank you for all of your efforts in securing accommodation for myself and guests at the Hotel Mercure back in March. Thank you, the hotel was just fine and comfortable.  I was overwhelmed at the beauty of the area and we all very much enjoyed basking in the hot sunshine in between skiing and snow show walking. Thank you again for coming to my aid so quickly and efficiently on a late Friday evening!  I’ll certainly be recommending you to my colleagues and skiing friends for future trips.”

  Mrs B - Val Thorens

 

“Found the staff at Ski Collection to be charming and very helpful. Highly recommended.”

Mr W - Les Toits du Val d'Allos, Val d'Allos

 

“I found the staff at Ski Collection to be absolutely brilliant, helpful, clear and patient. This was important as I was the party leader of a few families. We had the best ski holiday we have had in 25 years - skiing in many countries. The apartment was especially a bonus with the cleaning pack and the bedding clean, crisp and available in the apartment. The Ski Set in resort was fantastic, Staff were top class. Thank you”

Mrs J – Le Thabor, Valmeinier

 

I found the Ski Collection staff extremely helpful, professional and efficient. I would hire them to work in my company. Well done.

Ms M – Le Pic de l’Ours, Font Romeu

 

“It is worth taking the FlexiPlus tickets and not self booking the cheaper EuroTunnel tickets. Its not just the Flexibility - but you get priority boarding, we went to the front of a huge queue.”

Mr G - Hameau de Pierre Blanche, Les Houches

 

“Small Resort, good for beginners and families. Experienced skiers might have finished exploring in a day or two. Staying at Le Hameau de Pierre Blanche is very convenient for La Prarion and there is a nice play area for young kids. Le Hameau de Pierre Blanche is good value if you are booking outside the peak times, the apartments are very large and comfortable. The smaller size of the resorts means easier access than larger properties at La Plagne for example.”

Mr G -  Hameau de Pierre Blanche, Les Houches

 

“We usually book our accommodation direct, but it was fully booked, in this way and via ski collection accommodation was still available.”

Mrs B - Oree des Cimes, Peisey

 

“The ski collection staff are very helpful.”

Mrs H - Le Domaine de L'Arselle, Chamrousse

 

“We had a wonderful holiday in Isola 2000 last month.  I was very impressed with how easy and stress free it was to book this holiday through your company – even down to the ski passes & equipment.”

Mrs H – Les Terrasses d’Azur, Isola 2000

 

Montsoleil is tremendous, more ski apartments need to be like this.”

Mr J – MontSoleil, Flaine

 

“Had a great holiday. Skiing excellent. Accommodation at Montsoliel apartments was superb. With the quality of the Flaine ski area and Montsoliel it was the perfect holiday!”

Mrs H – Flaine

 

“We were very pleased with Ski Collection and would use you again. Phone was always answered promptly. Thank you.”

Mrs D – MontSoleil, Flaine

 

“Excellent holiday, 10 out of 10!”

Mr W–Les Flocons du Soleil, La Joue du Loup

 

“We found all the staff at Ski Collection very helpful and accommodating. It was a pleasure to talk to them at all times, and they never seemed faced by our last minute bookings! We will definitely be booking through you again. Thank you for a lovely holiday.”

Mrs K – Les Hauts de la Lauziere, La Joue du Loup

 

“Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything. Our Ski Holiday in Peisey Vallandry was excellent and the apartment just great with fabulous views. It snowed quite hard the first night we arrived and just about lasted the week. Sad to be back in UK would have liked to have stayed. Anyway thank you so much you did a great job and no problems with anything - Thank you again.”

Mr G – L’Oree des Cimes , Peisey-Vallandry

 

“Just wanted to let you know we have recently returned from the most fantastic week in Les Arcs. Thank you, everything was as or even better that we were lead to expect. Absolutely no disappointments.”

Mrs S – L’Oree des Cimes, Peisey-Vallandry

 

“Just a quick email to thank you very much indeed for arranging our beautiful Duplex Apartment in La Rosiere - it is absolutely magnificent! We are all very grateful to you and if you can just arrange a four foot overnight snow fall as well then we will probably never return home...........Thanks again.”
Mr D – La Rosiere

 

“Had a most superb holiday thank you and are already considering booking for Easter.”

Mr S – Les Balcons de La Rosiere, La Rosiere

 

“Short runs good for novice skiers and children pistes conditions excellent considering no new snow for weeks.”

Mrs W - Les Cimes Blanches, La Rosière

 

“Excellent having Flexi Plus on the 2 busiest weekends of the year! Thank you.”

Mr M - Les Cimes Blanches, La Rosière

 

“Should be a welcome pack of essential foods/teabags etc on arrival (all shops closed and we needed milk for young daughter!)”

Mr S - Les Cimes Blanches, La Rosière

 

“Excellent holiday. Would book with you again as I have before.”

Mrs W - Les Balcons de la Rosiere, La Rosière

 

 “Back from our week in Alpe d’Huez – excellent apartment – very comfortable.”

Mrs R – L’Ours Blanc Privilege, Alpe d’Huez

 

“Back from our week in Alpe d'Huez - excellent apartment at Ours Blanc Privilège - very comfortable. Weather variable and on Friday very snowy so decided to come home early so the Flexiplus Eurotunnel ticket came into its own. Thanks for the organisation of everything.”

Mrs R - Alpe d'Huez

 

“Just wanted to let you know that it is our last night in Les Saisies and we have had a fab time.  The accommodation has been excellent.  Thank you for the recommendation. We have been extremely fortunate with the weather with sun every day, the snow has held out.  The children have enjoyed the pool and say it is the best skiing holiday ever.

We are sure to be in touch again next year and many thanks for your help. Kind regards.”

Mrs C – Les Saisies

 

“Happy New Year. Thanks for all your help with the holiday. It was fantastic...... I mastered the skiing in the end ... but still have a few bruises from falling off the ski pull. The whole family loved it, what a wonderful holiday ... we will definitely be doing it again :) Thanks “
Mrs B - Les Saisies

 

“It was fantastic, I mastered skiing in the end… the whole family loved it, what a wonderful holiday…we will definitely be doing it again.”

Mrs B – Le Hameau du Beaufortain, Les Saisies

 

“I am glad you have responded positively to my complaints as it shows you do care and understand the importance of a successful holiday. I would also like to say that we would book again with Ski Collection due the manner that this has been dealt with. Both you and Hayley have been exceptional in the manner and response in dealing with our situation. We would recommend you to our other friends”.

Mrs E - Les Orres

 

“Everyone I encountered via ski collections, be that Hayley at the booking office and the lady running reception in resort was excellent - friendly and helpful. In particular Hayley sorted out a mistake in the original booking with aplomb.”

MrsB - La Combe d'Or, Les Orres

 

“Just to say thank you very much for your email - it is a refreshing change to receive such a response! Ski Collection is the best ski company I have ever booked with, and your email just adds to that - amazing customer service.

I am recommending you to all of my snowboarding & skiing friends.”

Miss B - Les Crets, Meribel

 

“Holiday was superb. Snow was indeed fantastic. Two afternoons where cloudy and the flat light made it difficult to read the slope but the rest of the time was simply excellent. Some snow overnight a couple of days meant new powder on a firm bashed base and was a dream! The apartments Les Crêts were a huge success too. No complaints from anyone. All round our best Easter ski holiday in 4 years at Mottaret. Bonnes vacances et bon ski (no broken bones!)

cheers,”

Mr J - Meribel

 

“We believe Ski Collection has acted professionally and reasonably. The test of a good tour operator is how well it deals with a problem if you are unfortunate enough to experience one, and we are satisfied with the way Ski Collection has resolved this situation on our behalf. We will certainly consider using Ski Collection in the future, and will have no hesitation recommending to others. Kind regards”

Mr C - Megève

 

“We shall be happy to book with Ski Collection in the future, and will recommend you to our friends.”

Mr R – Les Chalets de Julie, Megeve

 

“A big THANK YOU to you and the team at Ski Collection for all your help in booking our recent trip to Sainte Foy. The whole trip was great, and all the extras of ski equipment, lift passes, and Eurotunnel crossing that you arranged were perfect. So much so that I want to consider the resort for next year!!”

Mr H - Ste Foy

 

“Flexi-plus was excellent Driving past cars which have been queuing for hours always puts a smile on your face!”

MrH - Fermes de Sainte Foy, Sainte Foy

 

“Hayley dealt with my initial telephone enquiry & subsequent booking and was extremely helpful & patient!”

MrsR - Fermes de Sainte Foy, Sainte Foy

 

“Thank you for helping us with our skiing holiday over the New Year to Avoriaz.  It was a fabulous week with lots of snow and sunshine. Kind regards”

Mrs C - Avoriaz

 

“This accommodation was of a very high standard. It was spacious and very well equipped. The staff were very helpful. The location was ideal in a very pretty part of Les Menuires. The skiing was great for all levels -we had a 4 year old beginner, a few 30 year olds who love difficult reds and blacks and a few intermediate skiiers. We also had one non skier. We were all catered for at the resort. I would highly recommend this resort for families too as there was a great kids ice castle/igloo, a fab dedicated sledge run from the top of the mountain to the bottom. The ski tutors with ESF were great with the kids and the adult beginner in our group. All in all a fab holiday, excellent resort, luxurious accommodation and

a great service from ski collection - thanks ever so much!”

Mrs K – Village Montagnettes, Les Menuires

 

“Keep up the upgrade to Flexi Plus - it really is so useful and is one of the main things which makes us use your company.”

Dr B - Les Alpages de Reberty, Les Ménuires

 

“I would definitely book with your company again and Hayley was very helpful.”

Mr S – Le Domaine des 100 Lacs, Cauterets

 

“Thanks Toni! You have been brilliant and we will not hesitate to use Ski Collection again - all too smooth!”

Mrs L – Saint Lary

 

“We arranged our own transfers, it would have been easier if ski collection could have done this for us.”

Mr S - L'Ardoisiere, Saint Lary

 

“Despite the lack of snow which wasn't a problem as there are snow canons we had a great week. The accommodation was great, spacious and clean. We were in the village which was nice as it was very pretty but it was a bit of a hike to the slopes every morning. It was great value for money and I would certainly return to the resort, most probably in the summer to go mountain biking.”

Mr S - L'Ardoisiere, Saint Lary

 

“Everything about the booking was great, Hayley's knowledge of the area was super and I was 'sold' on the first phone call - we had never been to Les Arcs before and it was my idea to go there, so really it was my head on the chopping block if it didn't go well!

From booking the accommodation, ski school, ski passes, ski boots etc it was always a seamless transfer of my request to it being carried out, even when I had forgotten to book some boots for our other son and had to add them at the last minute to our booking, it was no problem. 

We will definitely be booking our next ski holiday with Ski Collection and in fact, I have asked my sister and her family to come with us and we will be contacting the team shortly to book for next year.

Thank you for your time and good luck for the rest of the season.”

Mrs R – Le Village, Arc 1950

 

“Worked with Hayley Osborne-Kennedy and her service, advice and response were excellent. Thanks.”

Mr G - Le Village, Arc 1950
