A Collett’s Winter Holiday

Welcome to Collett’s in winter

In Winter, Collett’s is in the heart of the Dolomites. Corvara, Badia & Arabba are nestled under some of the world’s most majestic peaks. We offer 3 catered chalets, 2 hotels, a B&B and self-catering apartments. This is the perfect springboard for inspirational days out on snowshoes and some of the best skiing in the world.

Collett’s is about the personal touch. Our painstakingly-recruited hosts set us apart from the rest. They don’t wear uniforms or sell excursions. They will make you feel welcome, well-looked-after and well informed. Each evening over a pre-dinner drink they are on hand to help you plan your days, whether you choose to join our daily skiing or snowshoeing itineraries or you opt to self-guide.

Here at our UK office, you can communicate with people who have lived in our resorts and know our winter holidays intimately. Their key aim is to make the booking process pleasurable and plain-sailing right from your initial enquiry.

Skiing & Snowshoeing

Our winter holidays are for snowshoers and skiers. Snowshoers and walkers can explore a magical winter paradise on a labyrinth of woodland and riverside tracks. Higher up, they can venture on to waymarked trails that traverse remote snowfields and experience the rocky reaches of the mountains themselves. Meanwhile, on a skiing holiday in the Dolomites, you can explore one of the largest, prettiest and most queue-less ski networks in the world with the celebrated 28km Sella Ronda at its heart. We have 1220kms of piste, which is known as Dolomiti Superski and it comprises 12 separate ski areas, each one a comprehensive winter resort in its own right.

Enjoyed every minute

We've been to Corvara for about 20 years, but last year we made a mistake with booking again. So in December we had to find a place to stay in March. We walked passed by Verena and saw a nice young man and asked him whether there were 2 rooms available. We've seen the rooms and at home we made further enquiries and decided to book.

I enjo (...)

We enjoyed the safari so much

We enjoyed the safari so much, in spite of having snow and sometimes white out conditions for half of the week. Having to keep to our itinerary helped us to deal with these conditions better. The guides Diego and Petro were superb and managed to deal with closed lifts and a closed pass which meant one of our overnight stops had to be changed. (...)

Superb week!

We have just returned from a fabulous week's stay in Chalet Verena, Covara. All the Chalet hosts were very welcoming - nothing was too much trouble (a special mention here to Dan and Flee)! The food was excellent and plentiful - the wine flowed and the social atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We would definitely recommend a Collett's skiing hol (...)

Excellent

Overall, we had a really wonderful holiday. Your staff are extremely personable and conscientious and able to relate to a wide range of guests who are sometimes idiosyncratic! Yours is a very well conceived and executed holiday concept, that really suites us! Thank you so much.
One thing forgot to mention - although some of the snow shoe gro (...)

Outstanding

The staff were a delight to talk to whether to find out about the days activities or just general conversation. It seemed to offer the kind of holiday I wanted - the ability to dip in and out of different activities and mix with like minded people.

FANTASTIC

Back home from an excellent week skiing in Arabba with good friends. The Collett's staff are fantastic (Giles, Cam, Adam and Sam) and all great company at dinner time.
Looking at dates for a return trip next year.

A Good Few Days of Fun

Colletts are great to ski with.

We only had a short time available to us and we packed in 106 km of skiing in three days (double that if you add in the chairlifts and cable cars). The ski guide's knowledge of the area meant that we took the best routes. With expert guides you never have the post-lunch worry of "can we go further?" "will w (...)
