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 :-)

Fridaynight overnight stop just after Chambery

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We are driving down to the French Alps on Friday 13th February ( half term ) and on the Friday night usually stay in a nice 2 star hotel in Les Allevards , about 15 minutes of the motorway just after Chambery , but I have just been told that hotel has been sold .
Does anyone have any recommendations , all we want is a cosy comfortable old style french logis hotel for about 8 x families that has an on site restaurant that is only a bit off the beaten track . I don't want any formica sideboards that you get at an IBIS or a Camponile that is full of fellow tourists , we want the kind of place where all the conversation stops when Le Rosbif opens the door , and none of can translate what the local dishes are on the menu du jour for €15 .
Any suggestions between Chambery and Albertville .

gwatts10, no suggestions, but try the logis de France website

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

This one looks like a possibility, but haven't stayed there.

You'll be lucky. That'll be one of the busiest nights for the merest fleapit within close range of the ski resorts. Booking for that number, and all wanting to stay together, I'd suggest you grab the first place that has enough rooms and, as for the formica, tant pis.

all sorted , booking for 11 rooms , 9 families in the end , new owner keen to keep some good long term customers so gave us even better prices than last year , he was right to do so because 18 x adults on the first night of their holiday tend to make a hefty bar bill . cant wait it is a cracking 2 star authentic french place just 15 mins off the motorway after Chambery and only about 1 hrs drive from resorts for saturday morning .

Hells Bells , the hotel is called Les Terasses de Allevard , the new owner is still struggling with getting his technology up and running , he did not respond to e-mail or the reservation system , so i ended up calling him on the number that is on the web site . Apparently he is extending the hotel . Allevard is about 15 mins off motorway and there is a SuperU that is always empty with petrol just up the road making it a lot easier than going into the centre Commercial in Chambery

I can recommend the Hotel Costaroche at Albertville. It's a small 2**, family run hotel. It's "hidden" away below the Conflans area.
