Other ski resorts in which MMV operates lodging include L’Alpe d’Huez, Les 2 Alpes, Isola 2000, Montgenèvre, Les Saisies, and Val Thorens.

* All MMV’s hotels and residences offer a full array of services: both outdoor and indoor activities and animations, relaxation, fitness, and wellness spaces, and clubs for kids of all ages. The international clientele, composed mainly of English, Belgian, and Dutch tourists, represents roughly a third of the total.
* MMV has 1,000 employees, of whom 90% are seasonal. It operates a total of 11,500 tourist beds. The occupancy rate reached an average of 79% in 2022. MMV’s annual sales total nearly €75 million euros,1 of which 10% are generated in the summer.
* MMV is deploying a sustained development strategy: among the approximately 20 assets it operates, 8 have been opened since 2019, including 2 this year (Les Clarines at Les 2 Alpes at the beginning of the ski season, and Samoëns Village at Samoëns, which opened on June 30, 2022). MMV expects to open 1 to 2 new structures a year over the course of the next 3 years.
* In addition, MMV is expanding its offering with the launch in 2022 of Mountain Collection, a lodging venture topped up with enhanced services within 4* and 5* small residences and chalets. This activity, which complements the existing club hotel and residence offering of MMV, contributes to increasing the use of tourist lodgings, which in turn boosts the development of the resorts in question.
