We continue to invest in our chalets: Christina & Ava get an upgrade

At Ski Miquel, we pride ourselves on offering not just a ski holiday, but a complete chalet-hotel experience that delivers exceptional value. To ensure our guests always enjoy the best standards of comfort, style and service, we’re continually investing in our properties. This year, one of our most popular chalets, the Chalet-Hotel Christina in Saalbach, is getting a major upgrade, and the Chalet Ava in Montgenèvre (new this year) is being renovated in full.

Chalet Ava, Montgenèvre - A full renovation

The Chalet Ava in Montgenèvre is undergoing a complete transformation. From brand-new bathrooms and bedrooms to a modernised lounge, the renovation is designed to make your ski holiday homely and comfortable. Whether you’re relaxing after a day exploring the French and Italian slopes or enjoying one of our hearty chalet dinners cooked by our professional chef, you’ll now do so in cosy surroundings.

This renovation reflects our commitment to providing guests with affordable ski holidays without compromising on quality. The Ava is in a great location between the Lucille and Elise, but with a more personal atmosphere and with only 6 rooms, giving you the chance to rent it exclusively with a fully-stocked bar, or pop over the road to use the bar in the Lucille or the Elise and mingle with our other guests. With this refurbishment, it is set to join the Ski Miquel collection of chalets in style.

Chalet-Hotel Christina, Saalbach - Comfort in the Austrian Alps

In Saalbach, our much-loved Chalet-Hotel Christina is also being refreshed. We’re saying goodbye to the famous pink bathroom suite (a quirky favourite among some of our returning guests!) and replacing it with stylish, modern bathrooms throughout the chalet-hotel. Alongside this, we’re fitting new flooring across the chalet, creating a brighter and fresher feel for your stay.

Guests can look forward to returning to a chalet-hotel that combines the charm and warmth Ski Miquel is known for, with the added comfort of newly-upgraded facilities.

Last year we got reviews like the one below, and we hope to get even better ones this year following the work.

"The excellence of Ski Miquel continues" - Feb 2025

Carol Moody is the most outstanding manager being so professional, efficient, friendly, and engaging. Organisation at the chalet and in the resort is outstanding. We note that Ski Miquel is improving the quality of the product in line with market expectations, which is great."

"The bathroom is overdue for a refit and the shower cubicle is too small."

So, this year you can expect fully refitted bathrooms with larger showers, and improved mirrors including back lighting. We will update this article more images as the renovation progresses.

Great value, better experience

These refurbishments are part of our ongoing commitment to invest in our chalets and ensure that our guests enjoy the best value package ski holidays for the last 45 years. By continually upgrading our properties, we’re making sure that every Ski Miquel holiday is not only affordable, but also delivers a quality experience.

Whether you choose the renovated Chalet Ava in Montgenèvre or the refreshed Chalet-Hotel Christina in Saalbach, you’ll enjoy the same friendly atmosphere, hearty meals and excellent service that Ski Miquel is famous for, now in even more comfortable surroundings.

Ski Miquel - Chalet holidays done better

Our mission is simple: To give you an unforgettable ski holiday with great accommodation, exceptional service and unbeatable value. By continuing to invest in our chalet-hotels, we’re ensuring that Ski Miquel remains the smart choice for skiers and snowboarders who want quality, character and community, all at an affordable price.
