Any recommendations for the cheapest possible accommodation in and around Flaine? Thanks

Depends what you're looking for, but I found a few places on AirBnB when I was researching my next trip...

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

+1 regarding it depending on exactly what/when and how big you need accommodation, but when i was looking around last year there were cheap apartment deals including lift pass on Sunweb ski website.

How cheap is cheap? I got a 2 bed inc flexi plus for £870 1 week in end of January.

I used sunweb last season (back end of march). We stayed (2 blokes) in the flaine foret apartments for about £280 each including lift pass. The digs were clean, quiet and basic and close to the main lift station and other amenities. Funnily enough I have had a look at the pricing today which is a little more but fairly similar.
Hoping to go back this season and would stay in these digs again.

I’m travelling alone and as cheap as possible
Couldn’t find anything on airbnb or booking.com
Will try sunweb thanks
Thought about UCPA but don’t want dorm room. Do they do private rooms? Couldn’t find prices online either

They have twin rooms. I met nice people at dorm share but there always chance to get unlucky. It’s a compromise but I can not recommend enough them, especially in Flaine

UK website only quotes all inclusive, and all I want is accommodation. Do they not do room only bookings?

@moseyp, Have you tried asking any Masters racers who train there what they do for accommodation ?
|

You know it makes sense.

I don’t think so. At least room, pass, food and equipment included. Some resorts might not have “no instruction” packages but I thought it was most of them
In flaine the only I can see “ UCPA Short Break 4 Day - No Instruction” in the region of £400. But it will include everything but lessons.
