From the master bedroom you can open your eyes and see the Matterhorn. You can take in the view and tranquillity without feeling or being cut-off. Magical for a couple but also perfect for good friends or a close family, with enough resources to feel comfortable. The second bedroom has bunk beds and further pull out mattress beneath if you have three children. (An additional mattress is also there if you really want to squeeze in little people - a baby cot is also under the bed in the master bedroom). Duvets and pillows are provided. Bed linen and towels can be provided at extra charge of CHF 25 per person. The main living area is open plan, and incorporates a lounge area, dining area and stylish and fully equipped new kitchen, with dishwasher, microwave , oven etc. There is a large corner sofa, which doubles as a sofa bed or movie buff zone, with the flat screen TV and range of DVDs and PS2. All the rooms open out onto the large balcony with table and chairs and a gas BBQ and the morning sun, but mainly its the impressive 180º views of the Val d’Herens across to the Matterhorn or across towards Crans Montana and Rhone valley. With the ski shop and locker next door and the ski bus stopping right outside, life couldn't be easier for the skier. Tourist information next door is great all year. It's an all round superb location for those who love the mountains at any time of year but with easy access to Geneva or Sion and the Valais. Please note that you must arrive before 8pm. We do not have full internet at the property (although there is full 5G throughout the resort including at the ski shop and tourist office). Thank us for your digital detox.

Very good stay as always.
Perhaps a small suggestion, renew the mattresses.
Otherwise always good stay.

Nice stay in Valais
The appartement has a very nice view and is equipped with erverything you need.
The contact with Claudia (the owner) was warm and she had a lot of good advices (Restaurants, etc.)
We enjoyed our stay.
If you decide to visit Thyon in autumn be aware that a lot of shops and restaurants are closed. (The only restaurant open was "La Maya", which was not so bad because the staff there is really very nice and the food is excellent and not so expensive)

This place made our vacation one of the best! Very clean and have more than you can ask for. No wifi, but you can get the next door shop free wifi from 8am to 8pm. Everything is within walking distance or you can use the free ski shuttle.
Claudia is very helpful. She went above and beyond and called us to make sure we get into the apartment. Sent me videos on how to open the balcony doors… so many surprises in the apartment that will make your stay even better.
Highly recommended. Thanks Claudia!
Die Wohnung war schön und liebevoll eingerichtet.Die Aussicht ist phänomenal. Einziger Kritikpunkt war, dass es keine Möglichkeit gab, die Koffer auszupacken weil die Schrönke alle voll wsren
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans l’appartement de Claudia. 2 vraies chambres, une vraie cuisine avec tout l’équipement et les ustensiles nécessaires pour cuisiner (on voit que l’appartement est réellement habité et pas juste loué). Et tout ça juste en face de l’arrêt de la navette qui vous mène en 2 min aux remontées mécaniques !
Les échanges avec Claudia ont été hyper simples et chaleureux.
Nous recommandons vraiment l’appartement et reviendrons avec plaisir !
Die Wohnung ist geschmack-und liebevoll eingerichtet. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Alles war sauber zum wohlfühlen, genügend Geschirr, Gläser, Besteck etc. Sehr ruhige Gegend, mit amtemberaubender Aussicht. Perfekt für Skiferien, die Skipisten sind Top präpariert und nicht überfüllt. Der Skilift ist mit dem Skibus sehr schnell erreichbar, Haltestelle direkt vor dem Haus. oder in 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Im Dorfladen kann man kaufen, was man täglich braucht, oder beim Beck sehr gutes Brot. Herzlichen Dank, wir kommen wieder.
L’appartement est très fonctionnel (lave vaisselle, four, four à micro-ondes, mixeur, caquelon à fondue,…), manque juste un four à raclette ;-), bénéficie d’un super emplacement et d’une vue imprenable sur la Dent blanche et au loin on peut distinguer la pointe du Cervin.
L’immeuble dans lequel se situe l’appartement est juste à côté de l’office du tourisme, de l’arrêt de bus (ski-bus) qui vous emmène gratuitement au pied des pistes, et des autres commodités. Il est possible de profiter dans l’immeuble d’une longue piscine, d’un sauna, d’un grand local à skis, et d’une buanderie (lave linge et sèche linge). Il y a quelques places de parcs devant l’immeuble et qui sont assez vite occupées en haute saison, mais il y a à 200m un peu plus haut sur la route principale vers Thyon un parking gratuit durant 7 jours.
Claudia, la propriétaire, est très réactive aux différentes demandes, et la communication est super facile.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans cet appartement et nous le recommandons sans hésiter.
Les petits moins :
- les matelas du lit conjugal sont un peu durs
- il manquait un peu de propreté à notre arrivée (salle de bain, sols et poussière).
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour aux Collons. La description correspond bien à la location. L'appartement est propre, bien équipé, avec une superbe vue. De belles activités aux alentours y compris pour des ados
This is a beautiful apartment with a double aspect window and view of the Vallee Des Herens. We completely unwound in this home from home. The village is at a good altitude so the snow was good and the local ski area kept us occupied all week. If you snowboard, there are a lot of drags which I did not mind, and the local off-piste is fun. Easy access to a fun park with a huge snow pillow jump which our teenager loved. Some beautiful runs, not busy even at peak time we found.
Just to note - the ski bus stops outside the apartment, but we were there at peak time and it was quite full. However, the walk to the Trabanta lift is level and not too far (we walked with a 6 year old) and that works just fine. There is a blue run down from the top of the Trabanta to the ski school meeting point for children at Thyon 2000. We found this well organised and convenient. Turn left as you get off the Trabanta!
The owners are delightful, and helped us when our flights were delayed and we arrived late at night (thank you).
Lots of storage in the hallway/lobby which is good as we like to hang up our children's equipment ready for the next day. Well appointed, cosy with beanbags and cushions. Well equipped kitchen too!
There is a peaceful chapel next to the apartment block with benches and a view and a nice restaurant 2 min walk away (Le Granier - excellent fondue).
Note that when we were there the Ecole de Ski Suisse (ESS) temporarily located a ski office (to collect the lesson voucher) in the Tourist Office right outside the apartment which was very convenient. Thytez sport is in the apartment block and ski hire was excellent. Ski tickets from the base of the Trabanta lift.
Thank you so much to our hosts, we had a super break.
Stunning views and homely apartment close to lifts
My daughter and I had a lovely stay in Claudia’s apartment. The skiing at Les Collons is superb and the chair lift is a 10-15 minute walk, although the ski bus stops right outside the apartment. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and being able to have a swim and sauna after a day on the slopes was a real luxury.. The panoramic view of the Matterhorn and other mountains from the apartment is incredible.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans l'appartement de Claudia.
L'équipement est très complet.
L'appartement est grand avec une belle pièce à vivre des balcons tout autour et une vue magnifique sur la montagne aux alentours et un coucher de soleil le soir sur le Cervin vraiment extra.
Je conseil cette location.
Nice place with space. Close to to the bus stop and even not far from the chair lift and restaurants or shop.
We really had a pleasant stay. Johannes just has to write a simple manual to use the oven which seems to require special skills to be operated correctly 😉 and it will be perfect...
Really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It has everything you need during your stay. The view over the valley with the Dent Blanche, Matterhorn and all the way to the Bernese Alps is fantastic. Free access to the indoor pool is a big bonus.
A lot of bang for your buck in Switzerland.
L'appartement est agréable et très bien situé.
Aucun regret!

Great flat, good location.
Really good communication with Claudia made the stay easy. Many thanks for the help afterward also! Loved the view, the balcony and the pool. Good part of the 4 valles to stay in. The only small room for improvement would be the kitchen, where a little decluttering would help.

Why they chose this property
The great view surpassed any other we had seen in the Alps. We had searched in France and Bulgaria and we never found a two bedroom which was so well designed and such a great view, even though it is slightly smaller than we originally looked for we loved it as a lock up and leave pied a terre for the mountains. Being ground floor and near the shops we also thought we could be old here, even though we are some way off retirement!
What makes this property unique
Not so many apartment blocks have a small pool and sauna in the basement so high in the mountains, that's an added benefit which the kids in particular love. The place is very accessible - you could, timetable dependent, and more easily child free, get to the apartment on public transport if you had to; the Sion bus stops virtually outside and the train station in Sion comes from Geneva or Milan. Being only 20 minutes up from Sion, makes it quite useful if you don't like a long transfer (which I don't personally like too much on windy mountain roads), so that's very civilized in my view!
