Skiing & Snowshoeing Holidays in the Italian Dolomites

We returned last weekend from Corvara after spending a fantastic week at Pension Angelo. The Colletts staff, as always, were just wonderful and made a huge contribution to the enjoyment of our holiday.

Great week, excellent accommodation, hosts and weather.

This was the most fantastic ski holiday ever in over 30 years of skiing. Yes the weather and snow were excellent but the organization behind the holiday made it a brilliant week. From being picked up and delivered to the airport to our guide Mario who accompanied us this was an amazing week. Mario , born and bred in the Dolomites added so much(...)

We were extremely impressed with Max and the team. They were all professional and personable.
Without being intrusive they showed attention to detail and were very informative.

It was Peter’s birthday while we were there and Max organised a lovely birthday cake.

While walking we were given lots of information about which mountains we we(...)

We had a great week in Chalet Angelo, sun snow and excellent company. The transfers went very well and the staff were very efficient in organising ski hire and passes. We have always enjoyed the catered chalet format and are sorry that has come to an end, however looking forward to next year in Bracun.

Terrific holiday for skiing and Walking.

Staff very very professional and well recruited. The driving to and from ski lifts very well organised and flexible on a dial a ride basis! Always friendly. Amazing you have a couple of doctors! What a team. Seriously felt very proud of them.

Whacky quiz !

Great chalet Valentin. Good abu(...)

After spending a week in Arrabba with my father and two sons, in the very capable hands of Ben and Max, I booked a return journey for February with husband.
We were not disappointed. From the smooth transfer with Max, then sorting out our ski equipment, Max organised it all for us. Max and Ben are exceptional in their ability to put people a(...)

Our first time with Collett’s and all expectations were exceeded ( perhaps with the exception of the room although it was very clean and comfy beds, it was a bit basic,). From a warm welcome to excellent ski and walking days to great food and lively, entertaining company the whole week was fabulous. Many thanks to the knowledgeable and friendl(...)

Wonderful skiing holiday with excellent guide Mario.
Accommodation super

Overall set up food and arrangements great

Staff brilliant, could not have been more helpful!

An excellent holiday which offers exceptional value for money. This was my 3rd time and I plan to go every year.

We have just returned from our third holiday with Collett's and once again it was a fabulous experience - this year we self catered in Bracun but enjoyed a couple of meals with the Roch guests which we thoroughly enjoyed. Once again you have recruited a fabulous team and Clare, Olivia, Henry and Peter looked after us superbly and organised fa(...)

Wonderful!

Brilliant service from start to finish. Non-pushy and sensible people to talk to on the phone beforehand, and dedicated staff when we were out in the resort. Nick and Gemma were a particular highlight for us. A ski day to the Marmolada with Nick was fantastic and he was the sort of person you'd want to spend a day with! Good knowledge of t(...)

Really faultless service from the office staff. Great the way staff anticipated our every need e.g. getting ski hire done quickly and obtaining lift passes for us. Saved hours of time, when you are in a resort for the first time and don't know the ropes.

We had a self catering apartment at Bracun, because we are vegetarian and like to cook (...)

Fantastic week at Haus Valentin in Badia, Dolomites. Great Chalet hosts, fantastic weather and good company (including Tom Collett and family!).

My husband and I have returned from yet another fantastic holiday with Collett's. Outstanding location in Erhwald Austria. Colett's staff team were excellent in their local knowledge of walks and various other pursuits as well as ensuring all guests expectations were met. A fantastic team thank you Kate Ben Anna and Andy for the challenges la(...)

A fantastic holiday with excellent value for money!

Bracun was a great apartment. Marcus was very helpful, and the maid was very good. We liked the sauna, steam room too.

All the team were very helpful, friendly and welcoming.

We’d our own thing most of the time, but enjoyed ski days out with Sandy and Robin, and Julia enjoyed her snow-shoe day with Alex.

Yes.

We have been walking i(...)

Very welcoming considering how late we arrived! Friendly and efficient staff and excellent cook. They made skiing without my family most enjoyable.

Nothing could’ve been better - Your staff were amazing this year. All of them.

Ski guiding was fantastic, staff were always available, knowledgeable and eager to help. The whole setup was conducive to a great atmosphere in the chalet and led to easy social interactions with other guests.

Clare, Bolton Ben and Ben were all excellent and we skied with each of them twice, they were a pleasure to be with and our holiday was made by them. We were lucky as the resort was very quiet and we had some of the slopes to ourselves! Everything was organised to suit us so we consider ourselves very lucky. Rob did our transfer which was excel(...)

I made a late enquiry. Your staff (esp Peter Critchlow) most helpfully found me a room in Chalet Gumina near to Haus Valentin, with access to the skiing programme and meals in HV.

Have travelled with Collett's several times before and know that I am likely to meet compatible people with whom I can ski - as I come out on my own. Also that th(...)

This was our first time skiing in the Dolomites - the skiing is extensive and the slopes are very well maintained. The local Collett's team were excellent. Their professionalism and enthusiasm greatly enhanced our holiday experience.

A huge thank you to your staff, Millie, Alex, Ollie, Jim, James and Justin at Haus Valentin. Despite it being a difficult week for them personally with illness and injuries they ensured all guests were well looked after and their holiday expectations met.

Thanks also to Caroline your area manager who managed a large ski group to Cinque Tor(...)

We were particularly impressed by the outstanding knowledge of the area, and professionalism, of Caroline (Manager, based in Arabba) who came over and led one of the ski days with us. She pointed out interesting local features throughout the day, explained the mountain topography, and answered our numerous questions happily. Complete star. The(...)

All the staff were really helpful and kind. They made my stay and first experience in snow shoeing great. I can't ask for more.

Fantastic ski guiding is a very big draw for me
The holiday is great value
The staff are amazing

Collett's staff in House Valentin couldn't do enough to help us. My daughter and I had a fantastic holiday. Cleanliness was of a very high standard and the food was great. Thank you to all of them.

Another fab week with a great bunch of folk and such great levels of service. We could not recommend this company more highly. My only worry is that all our mates will now book and we won’t get a look in!! One little request. Any chance of a base in San Cassiano. Our favourite village in the Dolomites. Thanks

The group of friends I normally ski with have sadly fallen by the wayside and in the absence of like minded souls I have been forced to 'go it alone'. Having walked in Corvara ( with Collett's ) a couple of years ago I promised myself I would return to ski in the Dolomites - that ambition was achieved this year and whilst I was apprehensive at(...)

A superb three-generation family holiday. This was a particularly special holiday for us of taking grown-up kids and a three-year-old grandson son on his first trip to the mountains. Based on several holidays with Collett's, we put ourselves in your capable hands and nothing disappointed from the booking right through to a very happy family ar(...)

Overall I would say a huge thank you to all the team at Collett's. I had no preconception of how you would be except that previous group holidays with other companies haven't been great - but you outshone those very easily. well done and I hope you continue to be successful

I am very glad and thankful to my friend Mr. Amir Azimi who introduced Collett's Mountain Holidays to me. The company staff were very helpful and nice and The Serena hotel which I stayed was so good and kind staff.

Everything was really, really good. We have booked the same again - what more is there to say. My main requirements are a catered ski-in/ski-out chalet and ski-guiding, so Collett's at Chalet Angelo is perfect for me. It would be lovely if you could arrange it in more villages. If I were pressed to make a criticism the cakes were not up to the(...)

Appreciated all the company at evening meal particularly Caroline who came over from Corvara one evening and was especially attentive.

Relaxed approach welcomed - Regular customer. Enjoy Collett's set up

Cat’s catering was superb-the meals were delicious.
All of the chalet staff went out of their way to help our group at all times-they were all without exception an enthusiastic,lively,interested and engaging group(very well recruited!)

Having the staff as tour guides made our week much easier than usual and as a result we skied much more t(...)

Just a great set up and always relaxed but professional. I great time to chat and get to know the staff and other guests.

It is a nice touch that the hosts sit down and eat with the guests, don’t change that.

I don’t know how you carry out you recruitment but I have been going for the last two years and the staff are have all been effici(...)

This was our third trip and we like your offering. The thing you get absolutely right is the staff who are all great and very personable.

We have previously experienced both summer and winter holidays with Collett’s and have always had a great time.

Thanks to everyone at Collett's Mountain Holidays for another great holiday. We will be back!

Fantastic snowshoeing - I was prompted by an advertisement on instagram. I had been looking at mountain walking/skiing holidays.

Outstanding

Chalet staff were brilliant. Fantastic porridge in the morning in the hot croc. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent accompanied activities and understanding of people’s needs

Couldn’t fault it.

Possibly a little more adventurous in terms of local specialties, but the food was very good and my gluten free daughter was w(...)

Previous experience was very good. We had a mixed group - some wanting to walk and some to ski so it was important that the walkers were catered for. But one of the biggest factors is that - unlike so many companies - you provide single rooms at no extra cost. When is the rest of the industry going to wake up to the fact that not everyone is a(...)

Super food. My particular requirements were well catered for.

The Hotel Melodia spa was so enjoyable that I usually missed most of office hour....

Ski safari - the group was too big and disparate in outlook. For two days we skiied together and there was no 'sweeper' Not particularly enjoyable either for those who wanted to bomb and those(...)

Very helpful with our many questions about all facets of your operation, the details of the lodging and the entire operation.

This was our first Collett's vacation.

The staff was extremely pleasant to work with and very helpful in guiding us towards the next day's planned adventure.Skiing with them was delightful. Strong positive referra(...)

All staff at the chalet were excellent throughout the stay. I could not fault any of them and every member of the staff would go out of there way to be helpful.

All of the team were excellent throughout the week. Particular commendation to Kat in the kitchen for preparing some marvellous meals and making an effort to produce tasty and appe(...)

Darcy in Chalet Angelo was my guardian angel throughout the week with blond Max a close second. They made my holiday and looked after me so well in the chalet and on the slopes. Thank you.

A friend recommended Collett's! The food at dinner was delicious. One minor improvement would be slightly more variety in the vegetables - I think we had carrots and peas several days running.

I enjoyed the ski itineraries which I joined - especially the Hidden Valley one - but group size did mean that there was quite a bit of waiting around.

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful two weeks in Corvara in the Bracun self cratering apartment. We had a fabulous time throughout. The apartment was first rate and the owner Marcus could not have been more helpful. It was great to be able to walk just across the road for office hour at Chalet Roch, and our wonderful morning s(...)

The meals at the Verandarama were excellent. Good salad bar and nice choices for all courses.

Snow shoeing - on two days I selected the easier walk but was the only one. As one was a low level walk it was agreed that just myself and one staff member could still go which was fine. The second time, a second member of staff was drafted in to (...)

Came with you in the summer and have skied in the Dolomites before but not Corvara.

Big thanks go to our 2 main guides for the week that put up with us - 'Prince Charming' Max and Darcy - loved their consideration for a single lady of 70 that skied with us - they carried her skies everytime it was required! All staff went above and beyond -(...)

We had a fabulous week for a very special family holiday. We brought our three-year-old grandson on his first visit to the mountains and the staff couldn't have been more wonderful with him, making him an early tea when he came in from lessons worn out, transport from Angelo to his kindergarten and ski school. For the rest of family, this supp(...)

Good past experience; easy access to Ski Safari - Our 3rd Ski Safari was well organised and most enjoyable

We had a wonderful week with Collett's at Corvara. Best skiing ever! The Collett's team were fantastic - really made the week. The food was good - the new venue was very nice. Office hour was spot on and offered a good choice of activities for all levels every day. Having snow shoeing as well as skiing was a massive plus.

Thanks guys you (...)

We had a great ski week in the Dolomites with Collett's. We flew into Venice, via Zurich, from the USA and it was easy to meet the group at the airport for the bus transfer. We stayed in a lovely self-catering apartment which was a 3-minute walk to the lifts. Having the ski guides were a plus in that the area is very large and we never would h(...)

Was very impressed with the knowledge and friendliness of the staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly be booking again, one of the best, if not the best ski holiday I've been on. Usually ski in France and the lack of lift Q's, quietness of the slopes are far better than Italy, as was the food.

All arrangements for our move between ski sfari and self-catering in Arabba went very well. Staff had excellent knowledge of piste area and were very solicitous when I had a fall.

We love the ski safaris. Thoroughly enjoyable two weeks - one on safari and one in Arabba.

This was our first holiday with Collett's and we were very impressed from the moment we arrived and throughout the holiday.
The staff were so nice and helpful, the food was excellent, and the guided skiing was a real bonus...the best skiing holiday we've ever had.
A big thank you to all the team at Chalet Angelo :-)

Everyone really friendly, and helpful. Food at Hotel Christian was great

Really appreciated the efforts of the Collett's staff in ensuring we were catered for. We really had VIP treatment!

Couldn't have been better. Nothing was too much to ask. Had been in Badia in summer, so knew what to expect. Superimpressed with the facilities in the(...)

We have just returned from our third ski trip to Corvara and can highly recommend your company to anyone without any reservations at all. Standard is excellent in all areas of your services. We are looking forward to booking our next trip for 2020.

We were very impressed with Kat's excellent cooking and the thought and consideration that went into the meals. Also Helen was very thoughtful making vegan cakes. As a vegan and vegetarian, we were not expecting such a high level

Absolutely - very, very impressed with the great team

I liked the idea of being able go on guided skiing days(...)

As on my two previous visits to the Angelo, everything was really excellent. The staff couldn't have been nicer, and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were all so helpful and also good fun. Cat's food was excellent: there was a very varied week's menu with very tasty and plentiful food. Breakfasts excellent too and a great choice. `Pr(...)

Our arrival was everything that we expected and your staff, as ever, are engaging and warm.

Haus Valentin was all that we could expect.

We have been before and have a long association with the company and appreciate your values.

We were a party of 11 skiers and walkers and had a fabulous week staying at Haus Valentin. The staff were excellent in every way. Professional, Friendly, Knowledgeable and fun, what more can you ask!?

A really great service, even to a text message when someone noticed that our flight was late. We were then able to reassure the office that we had made contact with our host at the airport and all was well. that was certainly a first! We were impressed!

We were transferred from the coach at Roch by mini bus to Angelo, that all went extremel(...)

We had a great week in Chalet Angelo, very enthusiastic and good team... Kat's cooking was excellent. Looking forward to the next trip.

Martin and I enjoyed another 5* holiday in the Dolomites. Our first stay in Angelo and we loved it. Everything about it was superb, you staff, in spite of having to deal with several staff changes at short notice hit the ground running and the service was fantastic. The food was tremendous. Your staff are always there in abundance with smiling(...)

Amazing evening meals. I love the way everyone eats together, it was so sociable and the chalet hosts ate with us too. They made us feel like we were the best guests they'd ever had. Everyone knew our names from day one and my husband was vegetarian and staff never failed to bring him the appropriate meal.

Staff were very adaptable and cha(...)

A great skiing holiday at Chalet Angelo.

I particularly want to complement Collett's on staff at the chalet. They were unfailingly pleasant and helpful and lead us on some great ski trips.

Kat needs a specific mention as the food during the week I was there was first class. Dinners especially were plentiful, imaginative and delicious(...)

We have been before and really enjoyed the experience, the helpful and pleasant staff, and excellent accommodation. The Collett's "concept" of hosted/organised activities is great.

We will definitely book with Collett's again, probably next winter

I had another amazing week in Chalet Angelo in Corvara.
The staff (completely new from last year) were so helpful and work really well as a team.
Everything about the chalet and the people is great.

Ps: can you please fix the gaggia coffee machine!!

I have been before and think you have got the perfect formula for an excellent holiday

Collett's formula enables a group of friends of mixed ability and requirements to have a sociable holiday together whilst satisfying everyone's requirements

Every contact with Colletts before departure, whether by email or phone, leaves you with a positive impression of the company. Friendly, helpful, efficient.....going the extra mile

The new dinner arrangement at Veneranda was generally very good. Had enjoyed travelling with them before, and not many other companies offering catered chalets i(...)

I've come multiple years and always enjoy the chalet vibe and love the Dolomites

Recommended by a friend, good standard of affordable accommodation offered in the Dolomites which is where we wanted to ski

Wonderful stay at Chalet Angelo. For the first time this year we joined the guided skiing days which were fabulous - thanks to Ali and Darcy for showing us the area!

Just wanted to say how much all of the Whiskards enjoyed Haus Valentin. A brilliant introduction to skiing for our sons with a very friendly ski school. Amazing scenery, fantastic array of runs and wonderful weather too. Tim thoroughly enjoyed his snow shoeing experience and walking, expertly facilitated by various members of staff. The chal(...)

Very helpful - we wanted to ship ski gear ahead of time so we could add on a week in Italy before skiing - this went very smoothly.

This is our 3rd Collett’s trip. I would say this is best food we have had and the chalet staff were friendly and interesting people.

Organized ski groups enable my wife and I to ski at our own levels.

Thanks to all the amazing staff in Haus Valentin in Badia - all of you looked after us "Big and Little Troublemakers" so well - our family and friends group of 13 people with an age range from age 4 to age 81 all had a fabulous week in the beautiful sunshine and tremendously enjoyed all the things Alta Badia had to offer. We had skiers and sno(...)

We stayed in Chalet Bracun where our room was outstanding. The only improvement would be for tea and coffee making facilities to be available in the chalet.

The staff (all of them) at the Chalet really made the holiday special!

Your staff were all extremely helpful and informative, It was a pleasure to have them to take us around.

Recommendation and type of service that you provide. A relaxed but informative guide to activities which you can join in or not as you wish.
Perfect!

You always seem to have very good and friendly helpful staff. Wanted to go to Arabba found your sight 3years ago and this was my 3rd holiday. For overall value and scenery Dolomites are hard to beat!

Thank you for creating the perfect week of skiing for our family. The Dolamites are a fabulous setting but the quality of the ski hosts in Arraba and the ski days they arranged, turned a memorable week into what the children felt was the best ski holiday ever. The hosts were thoughtful, fun and went the extra mile to meet everyone's needs dur(...)

I am so grateful that Collett's skiing holidays in the Dolomites exist - perfect place, perfect set up! I don't know where you find such wonderful staff but you do an excellent job in recruiting, training and supporting such lovely, life enhancing human beings!

I would especially like to pass on my thanks and praise to Ben (bearded Ben fro(...)

We came on a hut to hut walking holiday last summer with Collett’s and enjoyed it so much we decided to come back for a ski holiday with our teenage boys and so glad we did....

What a great team: Greg, Sandy, Ali and John were the best hosts ever, fantastic ski guiding - different everyday, covered hundreds of kms during the week. Very know(...)

A great week at Haus Valentin, the staff made it. They were all excellent, knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant, and worked so well as a team. We very much enjoyed their organised days out especially as it was our first time in the Dolomites.

Very enjoyable week at Haus Valentin with great snow and always helpful, friendly staff on hand to any questions.

The young "Organisers" were brilliant all round - first class.

There was no cross country Itinery during the week of our stay but we were given good advice by the organising team, and undertook this activity by ourselves. Although we did not mind this at all, others wishing to partake in cross country skiing my prefer an organised event.

(...)

Keep up the great work. Many thanks for an unforgettable week!

Collett's and the Dolomites are very good. My thanks to an impressive group of highly committed and professional Collett's staff.

Admittedly we were blessed with near-perfect snow and weather conditions, but much of the success of this skiing holiday in the stunning beauty of the Dolomites lies at the door of Collett's in recruiting a delightful set of staff, providing good, well-priced accommodation with excellent food, and organizing "social skiing" which we thoroughl(...)

The staff at Haus Valentin, Justin, Olly, Millie, James and Jim, did an excellent job looking after us. They were good company, had plenty of patience, and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made our holiday very enjoyable.

Lovey staff, Clare, Ben & Robin were all great - Got all info needed from staff hence N/A answer, they anotated maps when needed - Good service on summer hols, wanted to ski in the Dolomites!

Booked Collett's due to the excellent knowledge, experienced and care of the staff in the office. This experience followed all the way through the holiday.

An amazing holiday with attention to detail of everyone's needs. Due to the wonderful caring, hard working staff.
Thank you all for an amazing time.

As a couple of staff members were quite new, overall knowledge was excellent, but always outstanding from more experienced staff.

Ski Day in Kronplatz should be limited to just a mini bus group, so that access to the main Kronplatz area is only one lift. Going by ski bus transfer leads to lots of lifts up to the main ski area and a limited (...)

This per-departure admin was faultless and personal so no issues...the proverbial breath of fresh air and glad to see that some people can get it right!

Your team at the airport and attendance to and at resort were really good despite having had a long inbound journey due to heavy snow. Dinner at Hotel Malita was always something to look fo(...)

Your team were very accommodating and added considerably to our stay. They are a credit to you company.

We have traveled with you for 6 consecutive years now and are totally bought into your service model.

You have a unique concept and delivery which is reflected in the level of your repeat business!

As a single traveller, to access the group skiing, and the social aspect of chalet accommodation.
Previous holidays have always been excellent.

Always find Colletts office staff very helpful and keen to meet holiday needs.
In resort, chalet staff always very friendly, personable and welcoming. Ski hosts were excellent, and personally it g(...)

Your staff are magnificent. Love Haus Valentin and Collett's ethos. Staff are always so wonderful.

We have travelled with you previously - you are the only company we are aware of that provides the mix of skiing and snowshoe walking that we enjoy, and the staff and guests are great company.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic holiday I had recently with Collett's. Not only is the whole concept of a Ski Safari such a brilliant idea, but Collett's go the extra mile in every way to make it an outstanding experience.

The 2nd night's accommodation was unreachable due to adverse weather conditions (lifts and ski runs closed) but w(...)

Your staff are magnificent. Love Chalet Haus Valentin and Collett's ethos. Staff are always so wonderful.

What an amazing place! We have just returned from a fabulous week in Badia, staying at Haus Valentin where we were royally looked after by Justin, Alex, James, Ollie & Millie. The food was exceptional & the winter walking great! We will be back....soon! Thank you so much.

A great week at Chalet Angelo skiing and snow-shoeing. The team at the chalet are welcoming, knowledgeable and great fun, and Cat's cooking is superb. Can't praise them enough. Scenery is stunning, and the good variety of guided snow-shoeing made it a memorable holiday. Thanks to all!

Fabulous ski holiday in Corvara 20-27 January
We were an extended family group of varying ski ability and age, a return visit for us, and we all had a fantastic week. We very much enjoyed the ski itineraries organised by Greg and Sandy who had excellent knowledge of the pistes and rifugios. They were also great company, had immense good humo(...)

Thanks to Clare, Ben and Robin for an excellent week and for the hard work of them and all your staff in getting us out of the resort after heavy snowfalls on the last couple of days.

We have just returned from another great week at Ciasa Roch in Corvara. We have to commend you on the recruitment of your teams as once again they were so efficient and friendly and helped to make the week such a great experience. Greg, Sandy, Ali and John worked so well as a team but were also delightful individuals. Petra and her team do (...)

You undersell the level of accommodation that I experienced during last week's ski safari. 'Often surprisingly comfortable' doesn't do justice to the splendid accommodation that I was lucky enough to have - particularly regarding cuisine. Yes, there was sharing a twin bed with another client and there was one night in a bunk bed, but there wer(...)

Great staff & accommodation in a beautiful location!
Lots to do including snowshoeing & skiing.
Food was superb, traditional, fresh & plentiful.
Would (& will) return.

Have been with you 4 years running. An excellent concept and excellent friendly knowledgeable staff. Staff at Haus Valentin who should deserve a special mention - James, Ollie, Alex, and Millie were particularly helpful at all times

We have used Collett's on at least 3 other occasions and their service is second to none.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday with Collett's staying at the Haus Valentin in Badia. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was outstanding,We loved Badia and enjoyed the village feeling! On the staff’s night off they very kindly booked a local pub which was a very good choice! The food and accommodation were excellent (...)

We have used Collett's for our skiing holidays in the Dolomites since 2014. We love Italy and we enjoy staying in a catered chalet and meeting like minded people. We have nothing but praise for the Collett's staff who have been absolutely magnificent in helping us enjoy our skiing holidays - nothing is too much trouble!

Take a ski break to the Dolomites with Collett's and you'll never be alone on the slopes. The young confident and enthusiastic team organise whole day ski trips throughout the week as well as taking care of you when back at the Chalet. Thank you to the wonderful team at Chalet Angelo.

A very warm welcome on arrival at Haus Valentine by Milly and her fantastic team. The enthusiasm and efficiency of all the staff was admirable. I had two supper days skiing with Jim, another great day with Ollie to the ‘James Bond’ run (not sure of name) and a good day with Milly.
I really enjoyed the week, all made possible by the very imp(...)

We had a great week skiing. The weather was perfect and the scenery is stunning. We were looked after very well in Chalet Angelo. The staff were all great and worked hard. We enjoyed the ski hosting, no need to look at maps or plan routes, just ski and enjoy. Would love to return.

Our grateful thanks to the excellent staff at Chalet Angelo. They welcomed us and looked after us throughout week with charm, good humour and attentiveness, both in the Chalet and on our guided skiing. You can be justly proud of them. Thank you so much!.

I have never been as happy with any staff on any holiday I have ever been as I was with Claire, Ben, Ben and Robin. They are truly a credit to your company. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They regularly went above and beyond.

Been with you before and we are big fans. Even more so now. Will be returning.

My wife and I have just returned from a Collett's walking holiday in the Dolomites.Cant recommend it enough it was fantastic, we stayed at Haus Valentin in Badia all the staff were fantastic and met some nice people.

The team in Arabba were outstanding throughout. Claire, Robin, Ben and Ben were really terrific - not just helpful they were great company. Really excellent throughout! Thank you for a truly terrific holiday.

I loved my first attempt at cross country skiing so much that I would love you to organise a beginners week.

We have had a wonderful holiday.

ALL your staff are amazing. We really admire you for taking on people like Danny and for giving your young resort staff such a great opportunity. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant holiday.

Outstanding

All very well handled. Thank You - Collett's team were excellent in every regard. So friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our holiday and would definitely use Collett's in the future.

All really well organised. Best I’ve ever experienced on a winter holiday.

We came away with other friends who were staying at Angelo. Al(...)

This was our first holiday with Collett's and won’t be our last.

The hosted apartments in Arabba suited us perfectly. Our hosts Claire, Ben, Ben and Robin made us feel so welcome . They were totally committed to ensuring we had a wonderful skiing holiday, nothing was too much trouble. Their attention to detail was amazing and was very much (...)

Enjoyed a great week in Hotel Panorama, Corvara which was very comfortable, with delicious breakfasts and dinners and very friendly and helpful staff. Collett's were very efficient and helpful both in England and Italy. I had a bad knee so only snowshoed once, but James was very encouraging and kind when our projected route lengthened from 2 (...)

We had a great week in Corvara, skiing. Nearly every day we benefited from, and enjoyed, the company of Sandy, Ali and John from Collett's. It was great not to have to get our heads around the piste maps, but to say where we fancied skiing, and using the local knowledge to use the best slopes and restaurants. We found their recommendations (...)

Nice accommodation and food, brilliant helpful staff. Everything was spot on. We will come again.

We have been to Arabba with Collett's twice previously and were very satisfied, so choosing Collett's again was easy.

Truly outstanding holiday with Collett's in Chalet Angelo, Corvara. Staff were awesome. Food great. Cleanliness great. Skiing advice and hosting really appreciated. Thanks!

We enjoyed a fantastic week at Haus Valentin, in Badia, the team; Milly, Ollie, James, Jim, Alex and Justin (as well as Charlie, Tom and Danny from other properties) looked after our family group of 14 so well. We enjoyed skiing, snow-shoeing and fabulous hospitality. Thank you all for answering our endless questions and contributing to our wo(...)

I just wanted to say what brilliant staff you have employed at Angelo.

We stayed over the Christmas period and had a great time. Yes the snow and mountains were great but the staff made it.

Can you pass my thanks on to all the people who fed us; cleaned for us and took us out on great days out.

You've got a great recruitment process(...)

We had a fantastic week skiing in Corvara over New Year.
As always the staff in Chalet Angelo were efficient, friendly and helpful. This year though we particularly appreciated Danny very willingly offering to drive the minibus on the odd occasion when required. In previous years, we were very much told that this wasn't an option which when(...)

The chef had gone to great lengths to cater for both vegetarian and gluten free - the food was great and only complaint was there was too much of it!

This is my fifth outing with Collett's and again it has been amazing- the young people who looked after us were also lovely and couldn’t do enough to help - free transfers a real bonus

Bee(...)

The team at Collett's were first rate, can't recommend them highly enough!

Warm up week for the season and the new faces were already well on top of their game with local knowledge and taking every free opportunity to find out more. The welcome, hospitality and meals were well up to Collett's usual high standards. It looks like Haus Valentin has another winning team in place for the 2019 season. We are already planni(...)

Thanks for another great week in the Dolomites. We will be back!

Another wonderful holiday with Colletts. This was our second holiday in Corvaro but our first time in Chalet Angelo and we were very pleased with both the location and the facilities.
The staff make the holiday: they are so welcoming and have everything so well organised. The hosts (skiing) were brilliant as usual and, given that our grou(...)

We have stayed with the company before. We would be reluctant to book with anyone else as we find the whole experience with Collett's outstanding

The entire experience with Collett's is second to none, I find it difficult to put into words just how wonderful everything is. We are made to feel so very welcome and quickly feel we are staying (...)

Once again an impeccably delivered holiday by the team at Collett's, in particular the chalet managers Jack and Jane.

This is the 5th time I've stayed at Chalet Angelo but the 1st time I travelled alone! I was slightly apprehensive but I needn't have worried, the staff and other guests made me feel very welcome. The guided ski days are the main attraction for me and I wasn't disappointed. Many thanks Colletts once again for a brilliant ski holiday, I'll be back.

As always, the Colletts' Team excelled themselves - great company, great guiding (and even great driving skills on a snowy return journey!). Thanks to all of you - both in Arabba and back in Saffron Walden.

Sue, my wife, and I have just returned from a week’s holiday in Ciasa Roch, Corvara. We both had a terrific time and Petra and Erica the owners of the B&B were simply terrific as were Dani, Cameron, Alex and Danny from Collett’s.
We have in fact now re-booked Ciasa Roch for Christmas along with 6 friends as we just simply loved the flexibili(...)

We stayed at chalet Brigitte on b&b basis

Great idea enabling us to casually socialise with staff & guests.found staff very helpful & flexible especially with regard to skiing itineraries based on weather /snow & guests abilities

A fantastic holiday from start to finish, stunning scenery,super skiing & guiding, fabulous food, wine & company. Our appetite is whetted for the ski safari next.

Everyone I speak to is friendly, helpful and well informed.

We had a VERY snowy trip from Corvara on our departure and we thought our driver was superb and told him so.

Dinner at Grand Fanes was very good. We all very much enjoyed the salad bar each evening. A number of us couldn't manage four courses so had just a starter or just a main(...)

Could I ask that you please send on my sincere thanks to Tom personally and all the team for another splendid holiday in Corvara. This is our 10th trip with Collett's and we have enjoyed this as much as ever made all the more special given a three year gap. It is a delight to be able to ski such a lovely area we know so well with all the famil(...)

The whole Collett's team complemented and exceeded our expectations to offer an amazing holiday.

I've been using Collett's for 8 years now, always at Haus Valentin, and every single holiday has been brilliant without fail.

Special mention to the staff at Haus Valentin who as usual were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and they were a a real credit to themselves and an asset to Collett's.

We will be back, the atmosphere in Valentin was great as usual, and the staff always helpful.

Third time with Collett's after a few years' break and it was as great an experience as I remember from 2 previous holidays in the Dolomites. Thanks to all the staff who looked after us so well - not only the Collett's hosts in resort, but also the support staff with whom I corresponded before the trip. Also thanks too to the staff of Chalet B(...)

Excellent week's holiday - made special by the Colletts staff in the village - always friendly and willing to help.

Have travelled with Collett's before and hope to do so again. The experience of being a client of Collett's is excellent and I will continue to recommend you!

Fantastic holiday thanks. We booked at a late date for Badia, so chalet rooms were not available, but the Hotel Melodia was excellent. We walked more than snow-shoed, and found excellent information from the local tourist office which highlighted the fact that there are many trails suitable for walking with or without “Yak-Tracks” in addition (...)

The Collett's team at Haus Valentin were very professional, very hard-working, and very nice people. They (seemingly) effortlessly made the place and the activities enjoyable, safe and entertaining. Haus Valentin was comfortable, warm and clean; and the food at breakfast and dinner was fresh and varied. The location, whilst off the main Sellar(...)

The best skiing in 20 years. Superb slopes with incredible scenery. The ski safari gave tremendous variety of locations over a wide area of the Italian Dolomites and introduced us to new friends. Accommodation varied in standard from pleasant rifuggios up on the mountains to good hotels. Evening meals varied from good to superb. Part of t(...)

Another excellent safari around the beautiful Dolomites. Lots of skiing, great guides and a few Aperol Spritsers along the way..!

Another great ski holiday with Colletts!
Many thanks to Cam, Dani and the whole team at Corvara for making our holiday simply amazing. From start to finish their attentiveness and knowledge made sure that everything ran smoothly from timely transfers, arranging lift passes, providing local knowledge/recommendations to arranging great ski tour(...)

We consisted of a group of 19, with 8 adults and 11 children aged 7-17, spread across 3 adjacent chalets in Arabba. The holiday was perfect in all ways. The Collett's staff were wonderful, an asset to your company- always really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, seemed to love their job.
The location of the chalets was perfect, a short 10(...)

Yes, but is is a shame that Ryanair have changed their flight times so we were unable to get the free transfer. Luckily you kindly arranged new transfers.

We had a great skiing holiday with Collett's last year and this made us want to return.

Your staff are a real asset, nothing was too much trouble and they were great with our 2 boys (9(...)

As Angelo was booked, we were unsure where best to stay (in Corvara or Badia), the guy in the office was really helpful on the phone. Chalet staff were all wonderful, very welcoming!

Would have preferred dinner a little later (7.30 or 8pm) as sometimes a rush when you only get back at 5.30 and office hour is 6pm and dinner 7pm. Also often a(...)

The holiday was fantastic and chalet & ski-ing amazing. The guiding (which we didn't technically have!) was also top quality and a new standard has been set by Jack who located and arranged our skis, ready for us to jump on to, by the time we emerged from our lunch stop. This was despite 3 of us interchanging skis then placing them in differen(...)

Another wonderful holiday at Chalet Angelo in Corvara!...............it's like a home away from home.

Wonderful service, great hospitality, lovely food and such a friendly atmosphere.

Thank you Team Angelo..............I'll be back!

Brilliant. Great accommodation, well organised, lovely helpful staff. And some fantastic skiing. Hard to fault.

Skiing in the Dolomites has exceeded expectations. This was our second year with Collett's. The whole package is excellently executed - a good standard of accommodation at Chalet Angelo, great food from Brendon and the outstanding team led by Mike and Emma.

Terrific location in the Dolomites and a great atmosphere in Haus Valentin. The Collett's staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

Great holiday, the Collett's formula ticks all our boxes.

Ski safari was most enjoyable. Well run and connections good. A real treat to walk into a restaurant and have a table booked for lunch by Guilin. Neither runs nor lifts busy and weather and snow conditions pretty good. I’d like to do it again

Just got back from our first family week in the snow staying at Haus Valentin. We've been with Collett's many times during the summer but not the winter so we roughly knew what to expect. We were taken aback with quite how much we enjoyed it - admittedly we had perfect weather and perfect snow, but that combined with a superb chalet crew, grea(...)

21-28 January 2018
This was our first ski holiday with Collett's and we had a fantastic time. We were an extended family group and very much enjoyed the ski itineraries which could even challenge the more accomplished skiers in our group. We certainly managed a lot of skiing that week, all thanks to planning and knowledge of the area by Cam a(...)

Collett’s were very helpful when our initial booking at Chalet Varena Became unavailable. Location - Chalet in Corvara and possibility of snowshoeing for some of our party also langlauf. Outstanding friendly staff who made everyone welcome And I very much enjoyed the ski guiding.

Have used Collett's many times and very happy with the service provided. Thank you very much, we had an excellent holiday.

The Collett's team were brilliant and went out of their way to make sure it was all very easy for us. We have been with you before and were looking for a good family holiday with an age range of 9 - 68, and you excelled

Great stay at appt in Rusada, Corvara, 2nd time with Colletts and great service as usual. Danni, Cam and the team were very attentive and helpful. Danni rearranged leaving transfers for my daughter to be able to travel with her godparents (my mistake as I assumed there was only 1 transport and had not specified the request in advance). Please(...)

The food was excellent. The card games etc in the evening were good. The bedrooms were nice. Staff were kind and helpful and patient. The guided skiing was good. The cook did a brilliant job

This is our fifth holiday with Collett's and we really enjoy the chalet experience. Your staff, both in resort and back in the UK are great.

Thank you for helping make our ski trip so fantastic. Angus Katie Tom Chris and Rachel are a great team and couldn’t have looked after us any better!

You have it taped.......we can't get enough of Collett's. Your staff are superb and so friendly.

Your offer of providing skiing and snowshoeing activities, which suits us perfectly. We had a great time on our holiday. The lovely staff were all wonderful - so friendly, helpful, cheerful, competent and caring. They accompanied us on some wonderful itineraries and it was always a treat to get back to the house after a great day out. We also (...)

Had heard about you from a friend who had done summer walking, I was searching internet looking for ski week in Dolomites and noticed your website

Previous holidays with Collett's gave us the confidence to know that our holiday would be catered for in a way which suited our needs. The friendliness of staff and their willingness to help in whatever way we required was outstanding and really made the holiday. This included the welcome given by Petra and her family at Chalet Roch.

We wou(...)

The ski safari which we went on was excellent. The Refugios were far better than expected and the food was good. The host with us on the trip was Angus, who worked exceptionally well with the instructor Alex and between them made the week a great success. The second week was at the Panorama, which was outstanding. The staff, food and accommoda(...)

We had a great holiday. The Colletts staff were all very friendly, keen and engaging. Accommodation was fine and the options of taking part in colletts guided ski days, doing your own thing or a mixture of the two worked really well. Petra who runs the Casa Roch looked after us very well, food was copious and the ski hire although not as cheap(...)

A fantastic introduction to Snow Shoeing thanks to the enthusiasm, knowledge and commitment of all your staff which includes the administration team as well as those at Chalet Valentin. My best ever activity-based holiday and I will definitely be coming back every year. The chalet team were absolutely brilliant and their attention to detail an(...)

We are skiers but we wanted to try snow showing and have the option to ski. As it was we loved the snow showing so didn't ski in the end. The quality of your website and how my initial enquiries were handled also impressed me.

We had a truly fabulous holiday. Collett's were outstanding and the chalet staff were so friendly, knowledgeable an(...)

Previous experiences were Outstanding. Location is superb, holiday concept of join in or plan your own adventure suits us perfectly. Love the camaraderie in the hosted chalets.

Just keep on doing what you are doing - it works and we love it!

We had previously stayed 4 times at House Valentin so knew our way around without help from the staff who were busy with the others on the bus. We always enjoy office hour and the staff were available and didn't hesitate to answer queries and explain routes.We could not have wished for better ski hosting and routes, my best ski holiday yet.

(...)

Guiliano, the ski guide, gave us an excellent overview of the ski safari on the first evening and was very insistent that we ask him about anything at all that we needed to know.

All the accommodation and food throughout the ski safari was excellent. I would single out Albergo Alle Codole for their cuisine - a superb 6-course dinner on our (...)

Excellent in every way. lovely chalet - we were at the top - huge room with good view over Corvara: worth the 2 flights of stairs to climb.

The staff ( Mike, Emily,Sonny, Jack etc) were marvellous and their unofficial leading was much appreciated and enjoyed. They were all great fun to be with - intelligent, empathic,helpful, full of goo(...)

I have been with Collett's for the last few years, everything works well to give me the holiday I’m looking for. The ski area is second to none.

First winter trip to the dolomites. Excellent skiing, super staff and good food. Chalet Brigitte was comfortable, spacious accommodation and lovely breakfast. Good location too. 5 minutes to the slopes.
Chris, Rachel and Tom very helpful, great company, full of good advice about where to eat and ski.
Hotel Malita had good food, lots(...)

A very good introduction to the Dolomites, well organised, good value for money with excellent food and company throughout.

Wonderful staff, who made our our holiday a great experience.

This was our third trip to Haus Valentin. As usual it exceeded all expectations.

The staff are so friendly,helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

The food, not forgetting the free flowing wine, was terrific. Certainly filled you up after a good day on the slopes.
The rooms were comfortable and warm. Could do with some big hanging hoo(...)

Another brilliant skiing holiday with Collett's. The hosting around the mountains was excellent, Caisa Roch (the new chalet replacing Verena) was very comfortable, dinner each evening at the hotel was very good and the shuttle service to the slopes worked well. It was our third trip to Corvara with Collett's and we will be back for a fourth.

Superb second snowshoeing trip with Colletts. To receive such outstanding service from dedicated staff is why so many people return year on year. You really do have the winning holiday formula and we look forward to many more fabulous holidays with you.

Just wonderful - Staff: amazing, helpful, great local knowledge and nothing too much trouble.

Good value for money - Recommendation from a friend and wanting to travel to this area you seemed to be one of the only UK companies to have hosted chalets. One of the best skiing holidays we have ever had and completely loved this area of Italy.

We love Collett's holidays, everything is organised from lift pass to best ski run in the winter or most amazing hike in the summer.The staff teams everywhere we have stayed are unfailingly enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable. The office team make the booking and admin effortless. This was our third time at Haus Valentin, rooms and food ge(...)

We have travelled with you x 3 in the summer to the Dolomites so know the area and Collett's - we knew things would be well organised and that your staff would be friendly, informed and helpful.

Fantastic stay at Haus Valentin. The hosts were superb and the chalet was always very clean and tidy.

I booked my very first ski lesson whilst in Haus Valentin. It was efficiently organised for me, and I was helped to hire my equipment. Staff also showed me how to use equipment, and were more than happy to take me down to the Ski School.

(...)

Love the down to earth approach. Always a great team and lovely like minded guests. And Corvara is a perfect base for skiing in the Dolomites

Very interested in hearing more about the walking holidays in Poland in 2019

We have had a couple of good summer holidays (Picos & Pyrenees) and love the Dolomites; the option of doing other winter activities besides skiing was very appealing; the photos on the Facebook page were what eventually seduced us into booking an extra winter holiday that we couldn't really afford, but it was the best ever, so well worth it!
(...)

Very helpful and informative. I returned to Haus Valentin after staying in the summer of 2016. Was wonderful to be back and be welcomed by Jane and Jack, such a lovely greeting and good to still see familiar staff members.

The food was really good, especially as I am a vegetarian, he does very well to do so many different choices and meals.(...)

Been with you many times and always had an excellent holiday.

Another excellent holiday, made even more special by the amount of snow and the care taken of us by all the staff.

Five of us stayed at Chalet Angelo over Christmas, we had varying levels of snow sport ability and interest, but we were all able to have a fantastic holiday. The setting is second to none, and the food was out of this world, to describe it as just chalet meals would do it a severe injustice. The staff were wonderful, always helpful and cheerf(...)

Another great Christmas
Great food
Excellent staff
The perfect location

As always an excellent experience. Great Hotel, Brilliant Situation & Fantastic Staff.

Thanks for a great holiday and especially to Max, Henry, Emily and Clare - not forgetting the organiser, Tom!

This is the second winter holiday I have booked at the Chalet Haus Valentin and both have been very enjoyable. The staff are very well trained, personable and put the client first. I was nervous about taking up skiing again, after a long time, but so glad I did. Jane and Sonny were particularly supportive, but all of them were great. I would d(...)

The lack of snow meant we could do some walks in the north that I hadn't done before - Longiaru Valley, Maureberg Summit and Wengen Wanderweg and these really made the week. The Collett's staff were, as always, friendly, warm, helpful and really really nice young people, a delight to meet. The Wengen Wanderweg day will stay with me for a very (...)

All staff without exception excellent and able to converse with all clients and very helpful

May be useful if staying in Badia to have a bus to Corvara for the longer skiing trips (Hidden Valley/Marmolada etc) in order to reduce time to get to the main ski area, but staff were flexible on the bus pickup points when they could and couple of (...)

I made a late enquiry which was handled quickly and courteously by your staff.

The cooking at Haus Valentin has become noticeably more adventurous - moving from 'good home cooking' towards competent restaurant standard.

I recognise that the accompanied skiing outings are inevitably determined by the particular group of guests in the chal(...)

We had another truly wonderful holiday with Collett's and won't hesitate to book again. All the staff at Chalet Angelo were extremely helpful and very caring. Sophie very kindly lent me her ski poles when mine disappeared from the drying room. Caroline, Charlie, Emma, Sophie, Mike, Dan and Brendan are all lovely people. Thank you very much.

The staff were super - really helpful, fun and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble and they worked really hard to make our stay a memorable one.

Considering the snow conditions were not ideal, I really enjoyed the week. The helpfulness and enthusiasm of the chalet staff and the conviviality of evening meals,etc was great. Skiing in the mornings was good but deteriorated in the afternoon and was tiring if we had to go a long way back to Badia.
As a result, I decided to have 4 days ski(...)

From the information it appeared that there was complete flexibility to join in or self guide. As very independent travellers more used to being inour motorhome on the continent doing our own thing this appealed to us. The hosted chalet also appealed as it again was a far more relaxed environment and atmosphere rather than being in a more form(...)

We had our second wonderful holiday with you. This year at the Panorama in Corvara and we could not fault a thing. All the Collett's staff that we met were so friendly, helpful and reliable. We will be back !

The staff at Haus Valentin in Alta Baddia were outstanding in every way. They literally made the holiday and I have never experienced this kind of service before. Highly recommend Jack, Jane, Sam, Adam, Jo, Alison(Sunny) they really are awesome. Thank you!

Really enjoyed the Collett's hospitality. The ski guiding was brilliant and allowed us to explore so much of the Dolomiti ski area. Thank you Arabba team.

I've always been happy with the service received from the team - it's good that a company are still willing to reserve rooms awaiting confirmation of numbers. This was my groups fourth visit to Chalet Angelo and were made very welcome as usual.

I'm not a "foodie" so it generally doesn't matter to me, but my group and even I found the qualit(...)

Absolutely great team at Chalet Angelo - very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic young people. They all did an outstanding job. Chef did superb dinners, every evening - I would recommend the chalet and Collett's services without a doubt! We have already booked again for next year!

We've just returned from Chalet Angelo in Corvara and are able to report another outstanding experience, characterised by the usual light touch dedication of the Collett's team and the sociability of our fellow guests, almost all of whom are serial returners. Thank you to everyone involved.

I have nothing but praise for the whole administration - emails are always responded to quickly and efficiently as are phone calls.

This was our sixth visit to Chalet Verena and as always we had a wonderful stay. You choose your staff very well and we have always met up with at least two from previous visits which shows how well you treat y(...)

Our first holiday with Colletts and we were not disappointed. We felt really well looked after by the hard working staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Particularly noticeable was the sense that they really worked as a team and were enjoying themselves. We travelled with two friends but soon found ourselves mixing in with all the other guests.(...)

This was our 3rd ski trip with Collett's in Corvara, Italy.
We had a great holiday which lived up to expectation. How Collett's manage to select their staff is a mystery to me, they are so good, friendly and go that last mile to give you wonderful service. I would not hesitate to recommend Collett's to my friends, and will certainly do so.

We have traveled with you in the past & so knew what to expect. The other hotel guests tended to be like mind individuals & so 'mixing in' is easy & effortless.

All of the team at Haus Valentin were great but Sam needs to be identified as outstanding & a credit to you.

Perfect hosts, lovely hotel and world class food!

Would recommended this to everyone.

Meals as usual in chalet Angelo were absolutely brilliant. I was really glad of the meal Brendan made on Sunday lunchtime before the ambulance picked me up because I didn't get home until 3.30am.

I wanted to try the winter experience with Collett's and liked the whole idea of skiing with people of similar ability. In a similar way to joinin(...)

We felt really well looked after by the hard working staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Particularly noticeable was the sense that they really worked as a team and were enjoying themselves. We travelled with two friends but soon found ourselves mixing in with all the other guests. This was largely due to the first class ski hosting organised(...)

Back office support prior to departure was as excellent as the last time we travelled with Collett's. Also, payment via the portal was simple.

Allowing self-caterers to join in Office Hour is a real plus point. Completely satisfied last time we stayed with you in Corvara.

Repeat booking previously excellent service - The staff were the best I have ever encountered in a ski chalet. It was also nice to meet Jenny from Colletts, holidaying in the same chalet, after I had made enquiries with her initially to book my holiday. My room was exactly as described and everything was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble(...)

The staff at Verena were uniformly excellent in their enthusiasm, friendliness and helpfulness

Great weeks skiing, excellent accommodation and staff.

Veg food might be a bit better.

Despite the apparent lack of snow this year in the area, all the runs were open and all lifts operating. We were well looked after by all the staff and had 6 days of great skiing.

The staff at Haus Valentin were amazing last week. They looked after us all so well - nothing was too much trouble. Sam and Jack even fixed up my luggage which had been damaged en route !!

The quiz night was the best of fun - they put their heart and soul into it and got everyone involved.

A brilliant holiday and I hope to be back s(...)

I wanted to discover the Dolomites and to see more than one resort. It was a ski safari and all the time was spent with the instructors, Pietro and Simon who were excellent.

You holidays provide a great deal of flexibility. Our party skied together all week either self-guided or guided by Colletts. Many others in the chalet adapted their plans to suit as they went along during the week switching between guided and self-guided skiing and snowshoeing. Everyone had positive things to say about their day in the bar at(...)

We have recently returned from a chalet holiday at Corvara in the Dolomites staying at Chalet Angelo. The whole experience was great and far exceeded my expectations. I knew before we went that there hadn't been much snow and was rather sceptical of the claims about snow making. As it happened the pistes were in excellent condition and as far (...)

I'm just back after a super week in Badia. What a great week at Haus Valentin. Many many thanks to Jack, Jane, Jo, Alison, Adam, Sam, Rachel and Charlie for super hosting and also to the other guests with whom I had a week long party.

Whilst I eat both meat and fish and I am not vegetarian, there was rather too much meat for my liking and the desserts were rather "ample" in portion size. I hate leaving food which has been served to me and I got through most of it - particularly after an energetic day on the slopes. However, the quality was excellent and I commend the chefs!(...)

I think you are a brilliant company and I think your staff are ALL excellent, mature, interesting, patient, fun and very very good cooks/bar tenders and guides. I cannot fault my holiday. I had a lovely time.

Yes, I think so. Ski-ing is obviously expensive with the lift pass/ski hire, etc. but chalet price very fair given the guiding and al(...)

From the recommendation of a group of friends who had previously stayed with Collett's - The staff in Chalet Angelo could not have done more to integrate everyone in the chalet and make us feel welcome.

By far the best skiing holiday we have ever had. The staff were OUTSTANDING and Collett's are a fantastic company offering high quality at great value. We will be back!

This is my 6th time with Colletts, and one of my most enjoyable stays (not that all the other times weren't great). As always all the staff just couldn't do enough for us, always at hand to answer any questions no matter how trivial they might be. We stayed at Chalet Angelo so a special thanks to all the guys there (Charlie, Caroline, Emma, So(...)

We have been on Collett's holidays on many occasions as they provide a unique combination of guided skiing for me and snowshoeing for my wife.

We have just returned from Chalet Verena in Corvara. We had a fantastic holiday the staff were great and the Chalet was perfect. Proximity to the lifts was a bonus especially when carrying the kids skis. Thank you Collett's for another fab holiday.

This is my 6th time with Colletts, and one of my most enjoyable stays (not that all the other times weren't great).

We stayed at Chalet Angelo so a special thanks to all the guys there (Charlie, Caroline, Emma, So(...)

This was my 3rd skiing trip with Collett's, and once again we had an amazing week backed up by the wonderful team at Chalet Angelo. In short, if you are ever thinking of skiing in the Dolomites, Collett's is THE ONLY company worth dealing with. They make everything so simple. All you have to do is turn up and enjoy yourself.

The accommodation we used was not owned by Collett's , but was a good size. Although the owners did not come back to clarify use of kitchen and divide waste as they said they would. Although this was not a problem for us , but meant we didn't use dishwashers,

Office hour was an excellent way of planning our next day, the staff were extremel(...)

Your staff make the holiday. They are kind, cheerful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

The Dolomites is a fabulous area for skiing and also the food and facilities on the mountain. Collett's are lovely people to holiday with and with the other activities going on it is a much more rounded and interesting winter holiday.

The Chalet Hosts really made the difference and sets you apart from other operators

The Ski-hosting was exceptionally good - we had a big variation in ability in our group and despite that by taking 2 groups everyone was very happy

yes - booked after on line search and professionalism of website!

Numbers in group varied - maximum was 12 which I think was ideal - any more would be too many. As I was staying at the hotel - the only comment I could make was that on last day - it would have been Better if I had been told about dropping off ski procedure and the 'boot' box with shoes to change into when ski boots were returned. Your staff D(...)

The staff were superb, we were given refreshments then taken quickly to the ski hire shop to get our stuff fitted.

Tour staff were FANTASTIC. All of them had a great attitude, politeness and the ability to help, unobtrusively where needed. Yes, skiing is an expensive sport but Collett's offered value for,money with all the added advantages (...)

As usual an excellent holiday made even better by the Haus Valentin guys. Particularly impressed by them arranging office hour at the Melodia, because there were so many of us staying there this week.
On piste the hosting was excellent and, generally, we thought the 6 guys at Valentin, without exception, were possibly the best colletts group (...)

All staff were excellent however I would like to specifically mention the ones I had most interaction with Caroline, Charlie, George, Mike and Jane. They are all a credit to Collett's. Previous Customer and I really like the model you have as it works really well for someone traveling on their own.

We're just back from a week's skiing around Corvara and I would like to say a big thank you to the Collett's Team for making it our best ski holiday yet! The team at Chalet Angelo were super friendly and helpful, the rooms were lovely and well kept, the food was outstanding and the choice of ski or snow shoe days out were fantastic. Thanks o(...)

Just well done for a fabulous stay once more. It is really the staff who make such a difference. It is fabulous to see people who have been working for the company for a long time. It makes a real difference, their passion and enthusiasm does the company credit!

I've skied all over the world (for more than 50 years) and so many weeks a year I've lost count. The Ski Safari will forever remain in my memories - wonderful, fantastic week's skiing. Hope I can do it again.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The hosted ski itineraries are a great way to meet new people. They give you the opportunity and confidence to explore new areas. It's a brilliant idea ?

We've had many lovely holidays with Collett's.

We contacted the office a number of times regarding ski lessons. Pete was a pleasure to deal with.

Seb, Amy, John, Tracy, Tom, Chris and all the other members of staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly. John dealt with our family dietary foibles without a qualm and his cooking and Tracy's cakes were delicious every day.

During half t(...)

We were staying at the hotel next door to the Chalet Angelo where a large party of friends were staying, It could have felt awkward to have been the only ones from outside the chalet arriving for office hour but whenever we arrived, a member of staff would immediately come over to talk to us and make us feel welcome and included.

This was a(...)

We skied with you for the first time last year, and absolutely loved it! The Arabba semi catered option is a winning formula.

Good apartment (Ciadin), well place and well appointed. The itinerary only included one day of cross-country skiing which is a shame as it was a primary reason for booking another holiday with Collett's. Howver, we made our own way back to Saré on the Thursday to ski again. Last time we went with Collett's to Badia we had two guided trips to t(...)

Have enjoyed many excellent skiing holidays with Collett's!

We have just returned from a fantastic week of skiing in the Dolomites, 4 of us staying in the very pretty village of Arabba in the top floor apartment of Chalet Tabia. This is our first time with Collett's - new converts - and we were all hugely impressed by the efficiency and charm of all the staff, spacious clean apartment and great food! W(...)

Once again great staff, helpful, and good fun... Exactly what makes a holiday special. thank you to all at Chalet Haus Valentin

Third year in a row and we have never been disappointed. As ever all the staff were brilliant, however, this time we must single out Brendan and Danny, our chefs. Brilliant and such imagination. Also, Emma who demonstrated such maturity and calm under some particularly demanding circumstances. She deserves a mention from the HQ staff.

Really nice chalet and fabulous area to ski. Will come again.

Varied itinerary for our diverse group: skiers, walkers, snow-shoers

Excellent team of staff - all fantastic but particular thanks to Seb and Tracey. Many people in our group (very experienced intaking ski holidays) remarked that this was their best ski holiday ever. Thank you to all involved.

The only constructive comment I would add wo(...)

Great location. Great people. Great snow (god and man made). Well organised.

Another excellent week with top staff working hard to make our holiday as wonderful as possible..!

The ski safari is the most outstanding way to sample the Dolomites. Our guide, Alex, knows the region like the back of his hand and it was a thrill to watch a world ranked skier in action. Claire Berto was a class act, mature beyond her years and great entertainment.
Couldn't have dreamt of a better holiday

Have been with you in summer and find overall was superb. Like the ski days as a group Chalet size very good & create a fantastic atmosphere. You staff are brilliant & well done for training them to a high standard.

An unforgettable week - Collett's staff did everything they could to please us, it wouldn't have been the same without them! The hotel dinners also can't go without a mention... The chefs went above and beyond to cater to my nutritional requirements and it was hands down the best food I've ever eaten.

Henry, Max and Emily were exceptional young hosts who really did contribute to making the holiday a superb experience, both on the slopes when guiding and in the hotel in the evenings (Clare was on Ski safari). First class. The system was very enjoyable to us, the guiding if you wanted it, meeting up with other groups of guests on the mountain(...)

Super ski holiday destination, well organised, Friendly and helpful hosting team. Hotel food excellent. All round, great value. Will be back.

Great week !
Unbelievable skiing all on artificial snow. Don't know how they manage it.
I will send a photo for the gallery on the wall in Haus Valentin.
Thanks for a great week.
