Première Neige wins Best Ski Operator in the Telegraph Travel Awards 2017
Première Neige are incredibly proud to have been voted The Best Ski Operator by the Telegraph Travel Awards. This accolade is especially important to us as it was voted by you, the public.
Reasons for choosing Première Neige as best Ski Operator
The Telegraph stated:
“Luxury holidays are one of the key growth areas in the ski market. Première Neige has successfully met this demand with its collection of expertly selected chalets and self-catering apartments in the small French resort of Sainte Foy without pushing the price beyond that which many holidaying skiers and families can afford.

The Peak Catered Luxury Chalet Balcony
Sainte Foy’s base village has grown considerably since lifts first opened in 1990, and Première Neige, founded in 2001 and the first chalet company to specialise in the resort, has grown with it and responded to skiers’ changing needs. The level of service is impressively high and other welcome touches include hot tubs on balconies, high-end bathroom products and top-quality bed linen and towels.

Première Neige now offers seven catered chalets, chosen for their location, striking interiors and impressive Alpine views. Imaginative catering and well-selected wine, mean the quality is high.

Living room in self catered Apartment Les Balmes
Première Neige’s 24 self-catering properties are geared towards comfort with features including log fires, saunas and satellite TVs, and benefit from the company’s trademark service.
As part of packages Première Neige can arrange lift passes, ski school, child care and airport transfers in advance; once in resort the concierge is available by phone or in an office at the Sainte Foy base, whether to book a last minute mountain guide, or advise on and make a restaurant reservation.”
