Ski Collection’s MGM Luxury Self Catering Ski Apartments

Ski Collection is always on the look out for Luxury 4 Star Apartments to offer its clients the highest quality holidays at an affordable price. We have given priority to the actual residences' location in the resorts themselves, with where possible, ski in/ski out facility for convenience or with an easy link, together with a whole at-hand range of activities, facilities and amenities such as restaurants, bakery, ski-hire shops, bars to unwind, or clubs to take you through the night. In making our choices, we did not forget that you may need to cater for the very young ones with the facility of a nearby ski school or a nursery ideally within walking distance.

As always, we at Ski Collection want your skiing holiday to remain a real treat...

It's all GO for Luxury with Ski Collection!

We have therefore, thanks to our unique relationship with the acclaimed mountain architects MGM, incorporated in our program a selection of the best residences that offer luxurious apartments, combining traditional architecture from Savoy together with high standard and modern facilities.

These MGM residences located in leading destinations will attract families and groups of friends in search of quality accommodation, good slopes for beginner and intermediate skiers alike. Many residences are located in the heart of the resorts and have retained a village feel, as well as being close to or directly on the slopes to provide you with great skiing access. From the chalets, often surrounded by fir trees, you will enjoy wonderful views of the ski area and superb panoramic views over the valley or the mountain ranges. All residences have a residents' spacious lounge area with an open fireplace, a covered car park, a laundry room, ski lockers and a luggage room. To add to practicality, the loan of cots and high chairs, irons and ironing boards, Fondue and Raclette sets is available; for mouth watering moments, bakery and deli services are ensured every day and can be ordered at the reception.

There you will also enjoy the loan of board games, wireless internet access in the Reception area - as well as in the apartments - to keep in touch with friends or business; some residences even boast a pool table. Moreover, you won't need to go out in the cold from one chalet to another as the chalets interconnect with a lift system. Within the Leisure Centre you will be able to relax and enjoy great views from the free private indoor heated swimming-pool with Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and fitness room to suit your mood and regain energy. We recommend that you also find time to be pampered in the Spa and Beauty Care Centre* which has developed in conjunction with the brand "After The Rain" some of the most wonderful treatments; you can tailor-make yours by booking in advance with us and at a fraction of the cost of one charged in the UK! Some of the Ski Collection Team still talk of their experience of Full Body Massage with Essential Oils and Chocolate Body Wrap…

Luxury MGM apartments beyond expectations…

You will be spoilt by the MGM self-catering apartments since they offer generous floor space ranging from 30m2 for a 1 bedroom apartment sleeping 2-4 up to 125m2 for a 5 bedroom Duplex apartment sleeping 10-12 depending on the residence of your choice, with the decoration being of a traditional Alpine style. The accommodation will accommodate your party size but also cater for the stomach…

For relaxation, the living area has a sofa bed (large apartment types have even got two sofas and an armchair) and is equipped with a satellite television; the room gives onto a large balcony where you can "chill out" with a glass of Savoie white wine while enjoying the panoramic views. As for the bedrooms, they give ample space to store some of your equipment and have integrated cupboards, whilst some apartments have the advantage of en-suite bathrooms or shower-rooms. As part of the package, the price includes* the beds made on arrival (except for the sofa bed), towels, two tea towels, a cleaning kit, the end of stay cleaning (excluding the kitchen area and the dishes), the television, free loan of cots and highchairs, free access to the indoor heated swimming pool, the sauna, the Jacuzzi and steam room, fitness room, wifi internet access and ski lockers.
