What kind of accommodation are you checking in to? Most of them have a reception area which you can leave your bags for the afternoon.

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

bum, Self catered apartment in an apartment building. I have asked the company we have booked with (Morzinelets) who also have links to the ridge hotel but they are not able to let us leave our bags either in the apartment or in the hotel due to cleaning apartment and hotel
I wonder whether ski hire shop might be more accommodating?

halfhand, that's odd, I've stayed with them twice and they've kept our bags for us on arrival and picked them up from the apartment on the last morning before we went skiing to give us an extra half day at each end of the week.

Swirly, One issue seems to be that we are not using Morzinelets for transfer to and from GVA. One of our party lives in Geneva so we are transferrring ourselves. Technically therefore we are not eligable to have our luggage stored whilst we ski (am prepared to drop them a few euro - don't want it for free). We'll probably ask direct at the apartment or the ridge hotel when we get there. Was just trying to save a bit of stress and hassle.
The worst that can happen is that we stay in the pub all afternooon

Hi halfhand,
did you sort out your luggage storage conundrum? I'm gonna have the same issues

differentshades, you might find that if you buy yourselves a nice lunch in a restaurant they would let you leave stuff for the afternoon - provided you don't have daft amounts. If you're out skiing, with all your bulky gear, you would presumably only have very modest amounts of other stuff to stash?

I emailed Morznet.com and they said:

I am afraid that the information is no longer true. There are a couple of companies offering ski locker facilities in resort and you can always ask at your accommodation if they can keep your bags for you while you ski.
|
Helpfully, they didn't provide any information on these companies offering lockers. I've found http://www.morzinestorage.com. The website doesn't fill me with confidence. Has anyone used this?

You know it makes sense.

Yes it’s owned by the people that run the Rhodos @nb14, legit but rubbish website

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Thanks for the confirmation. It's not massively close to where I'm staying but I guess it will have to do!

I found a couple of options in the end
1. As above, Michel at gravier ski was kind enough to say we could store stuff in one of his lockers. He took a while to reply by e-mail and I guess would get fed up and won’t do it if lots of people asked.
2. The other ‘proper’ storage was ski-room.fr, only a couple hundred yards from the plenny lift by the looks of google. They seem somehow part of another ski hire shop (felixski from memory) but their website clearly shows lockers for hire daily and at 5-10 euro seems ok. We plan to use these, they said we didn’t need a booking and to just pay when we turn up.
Hope that’s useful
