skipasses, ski hire & Ski School

Collett's has an excellent working relationship with the local ski schools, ski pass offices and suppliers of rental skis, boots and snowboards. We believe the ski schools in all three villages are excellent and an atmosphere of friendly efficiency and fun always seems to prevail. Similarly our ski/boot/snowboard suppliers are always willing to make any necessary adjustments or changes. We are confident that, as guests of Collett's, you will benefit from the goodwill that we have developed with such suppliers over the years.

As soon as is appropriate after your arrival in Arabba, Corvara or Pedraces, our outdoor staff will take care of your ski requirements so that everything is in place for you quickly and without hassle.

The only information we prefer to have prior to your departure (although not essential) are requirements pertaining to ski school or private tuition. We like to book these as far as possible in advance of your holiday so that we stand a chance of obtaining our favoured instructors for you.

We know how important it is that your skipass, ski hire, tuition etc. arrangements are handled smoothly and efficiently on your behalf, so you can rest assured our outdoor staff will take care of your requirements with the utmost care and attention to detail.
