Ski Miquel Continues to Invest in Our Chalets: Ava and Christina 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 get a major upgrade and the Chalet Ava in Montgenèvre new this year a full renovation.

Hotel Ava, Montgenèvre - A Full Renovation

The Hotel 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 your 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 has a great location in between the Lucille and Elise but with a more personal atmosphere with 6 rooms giving you the chance to rent it exclusively with a fully stocked bar or pop over the road to use the Elise bar and mingle with our other guests. With this refurbishment it is set to join the Ski Miquel collection of chalet-hotels in style.

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, a quirky favorite among 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.
