 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just booked a 3-day weekend at chalet Béguin in 1600.
So, I understand that it is on a piste? Which one would that be?
If I hire a car from Geneva, where can I park it?
Any other comments (apart from don't go there as that is now too late!)?
Thanks.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If you look at the piste map then it's off the side of the main runs into Arc 1600 (Mont Blanc). I think it's v. close to the join in the two blues, close to where the Health and information logos are on the piste map (2011-12 version)
according to their website you can park outside, which would strike me as the best option...

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

Good ski in/out location, with a bit of a walk in to the centre of Arc 1600. When will you be there?

the hotel Béguin is just off the main piste down to 1600, which at this point could be called Cachette, Mont Blanc or Source. You can ski easily down to the Mont Blanc or Cachette lifts. There is plenty of parking just in front of the hotel.
Though it is a bit of a walk (perhaps 5 minutes) to the centre of 1600 console yourself that it is closer than the UCPA building.
Though I have never been into the hotel I have cycled past on numerous occasions and it looks quite nice inside. It was extensively renovated a few years ago.

Likewise. I will be in 1600. It looks as if that weekend will be busy.
Ray Zorro, I visit the Avri bar or Chez Fernand for my Apre ski Vin Chaud and can be found in the Abrevoir most evenings.

That answers that then!
Just a word of advice though - if my brother says 'just follow me', don't!
