The website also includes everything guests need to know from directions to the accommodation to up-to-date snow reports. New for this season also there is also the option for all customers to receive a food pack and evening meal delivery service.
PV-Holidays first ever property was opened in Avoriaz in 1967 and the company has since been one of the leading provider of ski accommodation in France. Most properties are ski-in/ ski-out and are located in high altitude resorts in France, meaning customers always get the best snow even if it is lacking elsewhere.
PV-Holidays’ ski accommodation varies from two-star self-catering apartments to stylish four-star hotels. Many of the properties have swimming pools, spas and leisure facilities. What’s more, most guest residences have ski rental shops in the same building.
