Hello, can anyone please recommend budget accommodation in Tignes & Flaine (for October/November)?
Not a lot on Air B&B. Was looking at the UCPA Flaine but can't find prices
Thanks!

@moseyp, won't be much open in Flaine in October/November!

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

Have look on www.tignesnet.com?
But TBH, I'm just googling...
Also, when does the glacier re-open for the winter? November's probably fine but I'd check that first...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@moseyp, What kind of thing are you after ?
I gather that the Hotel Diva has reasonably priced packages at that time of year.
I just book a studio apartment through this agency.

Yeah but the only thing that I think is in my price range is the UCPA, but then I couldn't find any prices on their website
Opens in October
@rjs, looking for something extremely low budget, my ideal would be a >€20 Air B&B bedroom in someone's home but I haven't found anything in the area (I have a car so don't need to be too close to Tignes). Or a hostel but as far as I can find it's just the UCPA unless someone knows different?
thanks @maggi,

don't suppose anyone knows rates for UCPA Tignes offhand? can't find them anywhere. It's closed at the moment but due to reopen in mid-October

@moseyp, UCPA may be full of people doing Test Technique training, they usually have a lot of groups.
There isn't much between Tignes and Bourg Saint Maurice, good luck finding something on AirB&B.
The smallest studios at the link I gave are €230 per week pre-season.

@moseyp, the UCPA prices last winter were released in late June/July from memory (I was looking at the time). A week would probably be around 500-600EUR, including liftpass and food, maybe some instruction at various different price points.

thanks @fixx, they were the only prices that I could find alright, is it not possible to book room only without lift pass, food etc? I tried emailing but just got an out-of-office and not expecting a response

thanks @rjs, didn't think to look at Bourg Saint Maurice, found a few €20 p/n there so will keep them in mind

@moseyp, what are you actually planning to do as getting up and down from BSM would be a pain for me... Given that it will be only the glacier...so a long commute even from Tignes in a relative sense...
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
@under a new name, it's only about half an hour isn't it?

40 mins each way BSM to Tignes...
Not my idea of fun.

There is an equivalent to Craigslist but French based that carries offers for shared accommodation.
My CRS is kicking in and I know it is not Vivastreet but a similar sort of thing.
The tourist office should know.

@moseyp, UCPA - no. The only option is whether or not you include lessons/guiding. Everything else is just part of the deal.

 if 20 euros/night is ok, why not £180/ week?
|

Try Chalet Chardons (in Tignes les Brevieres) or Auberge de Jeunesse les Clarines (in Tignes 1850).
|

@Kenzie, £180 is about €240
I'll look at those two, thanks

If you want a studio most owners would bite your hand off at €20 a night, try the agents around Tignes, or even the season rentals which normally start early Nov might give you a chance fr October - Angelsden for instance.

sorry I don't understand this phrase?
what are the agents around Tignes? I'm more looking for a room somewhere, not a flat or season rental

@moseyp, but that's half board, with access to a guest fridge so you can make your own lunch and buy beer from the supermarket, and with no bus fares. I reckon you'd spend the extra €100 euro or close to it commuting up from BSM and on food...

@Gämsbock, Ah okay I see thanks, won't really work for me this time because I don't drink, will bring my own food and only need four nights accommodation per week so that's why I'm looking for something more aibB&B / hostel-y/super cheap room only hotel
|

@moseyp, in that case, you could try the seasonnaire Facebook pages for Tignes to see if anyone has a spare room to rent or would like to share a studio.
