This is awkward for accommodation that understandably, many places are only booking full weeks starting and finishing on the Saturday or Sunday. So there isn't a lot of availability now for a short trip, without spending £££££. |
Having this exact problem for a quick weekend to Avoriaz from 19th to 22nd! We can get accommodation for the Thursday & Friday night but then the "full week" only bookings kick in from the 21th! So the current plan is to ski all day on the Saturday and then head back to Geneva in the evening for a night in a cheap budget hotel ahead of the flight home Sunday morning.

That's a good option, I'm always concerned skiing late and timing it right to get to Geneva Airport through traffic, check-in and security. A hotel near the airport takes the time pressure off.
You could always do what we did when I royally screwed up dates and bookings one time and had to book 3 different places in Les Gets over 4 nights: 2 nights at The old Boomerang, then a night in a shared catered chalet which contained a large french party and just us, then a final night at the Labrador to cheer up my wife and kids! Traipsing all all over town with our bags. We got 5.5 days of skiing at least!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah in some ways doing the transfer back to Geneva in the evening the night before the flight might work out for the best in the long run. I will certainly save a very very early morning pick up/transfer!
The multi-accommodation trip sounds like it might be fun in the right circumstances! We'll be a party of 10 with 4 children with us so will try that another time lol

Certainly better with fewer people, but not really recommended. Good luck with your party of 10, i find it seems to get exponentially more difficult when trying to meet skiing requirements beyond immediate family, and theres always the worry as an organiser, if things go awry, who is responsible?
Good luck sorting your gang out and hope you have a successful trip!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks. It’s certainly a lot of work sorting it all but starting with the advantage of everyone wanting to be there in the right mindset helps. That way if/when things don’t quite go to plan, everyone is a lot more forgiving.

Hi, ive just booked a Geneva flights, 20th Dec - 23rd. Hoping to stay in LG, apart from the obvious hotel sites and airbnb, is there anywhere I should be looking for the vest accom options in Les Gets?
Also, typically how much is a return transfer from GVA to LG for an adult? Considering hiring a care but unsure for now.
Cheers!

How many for the accommodation?
I’ve stayed at Hotel Regina which was cheap and cheerful but close to the slopes and Main Street in town.
I tend to use private transfers (ski lifts,etc,etc) which normally works out around £100 per person return

3 adults, 1infant. Ideally with 2 bedrooms.
Ive seen Regina come up on most hotel sites, location looks perfect for a 3 dayer. Most other hotels look sold out or silly money.
I guess airbnb is only other option unless there is a french or local site with local accom...
