 Poster: A snowHead
|
As per title, we are 3 chaps who are traveling to Cham Sunday night 7th FEB for 2 days skiing, leaving Cham Tue night 8th. So we basically need digs sunday night & Monday night, check out from the accommodation Tuesday morning for a days sliding before heading back to Geneva.
We are struggling to find accommodation that will accept just 2 nights. Can anyone suggest any where in or near to Chamonix centre that will accept just a 2 nights stay. Does not need to be posh, just clean & basic apartment or even a hostel.
Cheers in advance

I would recommend the Vagabond, it's also a pub.
The Chalet Ski Station is right next to the Brevent lift but it's a bit rougher and a steep walk up from the town.

Will the hols make getting accommodation Difficult?
We are happy with basic dorm type accommodation. Just 3 guys travelling for 2 days skiing, so don't want to be to far out of the valley as we won't have access to a car as we are getting the snow bus from Geneva to Cham

Just booked hotel Les Mélèzes in les houches.
I know it's outside cham but I guess the ski bus is regular up & down the valley. I Managed to get 1 room with 3 single beds for the 2 nights, so happy days.
Thanks to all that replied, much appreciated.

Les Houches is ok. The skiing is limited but fun and the place to go if the visibility is poor. There's a decent bar near the hotel, it's next to the Belle Vue lift. The buses are ok if you sus them out, last winter there was a through bus to Argentiere and Le Tour which was a big improvement over needing to change in Chamonix. There is even a couple of night buses from Chamonix but don't miss them it's a long walk.

Location is excellent, bus stop 1 min walk, town centre 10-15min walk, nearest bar (micro brewery, always showing ice hockey, excellent food) 5 min. It's cheap for a reason, can get loud at night but as long as you've had a few beers you should get a decent nights sleep.

Langley Hotel Gustavia or Point Isabelle. The first being the better of the two. Booking.com will pull up all available hotels.
