Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Driving to alps - stops en-route
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

This thread has understandably concentrated on overnight stops for the French Alps, but if anyone is driving to the Austrian Alps I can highly recommend the hotel Eisbach in the village of Ransbach- Baumbach in West Germany, just a bit north of Koblenz. It's just about 2 km off of the A3 (E35) junction 38. It's good value and has a good restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating if the weather is good. There's free parking at the rear of the hotel.There's also a filling station in the village which has cheaper fuel prices.

The hotel is on both hotels.com and booking.com, but you can book directly on the website link I gave. I've stayed there several times.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

With Le Shuttle/Eurotunnel now booked, browsing through here for an alternative to our usual stops, as many of them are closed on 3rd January. I was trying to avoid central Reims, as much as we like the Hotel Bristol and it's ease of access to the autoroute, it can be quite noisy being right on Place d'Erlon until the early hours. Has anyone stayed in the Hotel Crystal? It is almost next door, but it seems the entrance is set back off the main street. Or any other alternatives? We prefer independent hotels with a reasonable bistro either in hotel or a short walk away. Gourmet cuisine not essential, but needs to be better than fast food. Dog-friendly of course. Somewhere between Northern Reims and Chalons-en-Champagne preferred as we have an early start from Durham on the Friday morning. There must be some more hidden gems around.

@Hells Bells, have you ever tried the ferry from Hull?
Can't be more than 90mins from Durham.
I live in N. Wales we would never consider any other route to get to the "othe side " of the channel.
Having had the overnight on board we smash the drive in 1 day.
