 Poster: A snowHead
|
In my never ending quest to save a few pennies and maximise my time on the slopes I've booked Friday afternoon flights to Geneva for my week in La Plagne.
I land at 6.00pm on the 6th March but can't check in to the chalet until the 7th. I'm planning on driving the 2 hours to the foot of the mountain the night before so I can get up the mountain early.
Can anyone recommend somewhere cheap and cheerful for 1 nights stay near or in Moutiers or Bourg. I've looked on-line and most places are full.
Cheers
Bertie

Try Albertville. More hotels & only a extra 30 minutes away.

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

Thanks for the prompt response. Looked at Albertville but still not a great choice. If push comes to shove then I have a world of choice in Annecy which is only 1hr 45 away.
Hopefully someone on here will have a contact/recommendation for someone closer.

Relais de la Vanoise, hostellrie du Petit St Bernard, or Arolla in Bourg S M. Only 10 mins back to the turn off for La Plagne (traffic permitting).
No particular recommendations for Moutiers...

For one night try Chill Chalet in Bourg st Maurice - about 50 metres from the station.

We stayed in La Léchère, which is a couple of miles from Moutieres on the road from Albertville, a few years ago. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the hotel but it was quite big and prominently visible from the main road leading into Moutieres. As I recall it was quite cheap and cheerful - fine for a night before heading up the mountain. Booking.com show a number of hotels there but none ring a bell as the name of "our" hotel. You might be able to find one among these though.

Got it from Trip Advisor:
La Cabriere, Chateau Feuillet, 73260 La Lechere, France
Can't remember the price etc but as I said, it was fine for a stopover (as the first review of Trip Advisor confirms)!

I recently stayed in Hotel Arolla in Bourg. The rooms were pretty small but pleasant and an easy stroll to the supermarket and a number of nice little restaurants.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Hmmm, wonder who Patch is in real life. Villarlurin B & B is a good shout.

I can recommend both of Patch's recommendation! If you want to start your holiday in style then go to Chalet Savoie Faire. It won't break the bank but is pure luxury and Nikki, the Australian owner, serves epic food!

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Who would have thought that Villarlurin would be such a hotbed of snowheads action?

Thanks for all the recommendations.
Aime was a good recommendation. Found a hotel near the supermarket which means we can fill up the car with Fuel and vino before we head up the mountain.

Hotel Angival in Bourg does single night stays. We stayed there around the same time last year for similar reason to you - not posh, but good value good location.
