Poster: A snowHead
|
I have acquired with Avios some cheeky weekender flights to Turin early Feb. While I hope that leaves me out of main half term carnage and a bit flexible as to where I ski I wonder if I should lock in a booking somewhere as protection. Thinking Briancon/Serre Che - anyone have recommendations for basic B&B or HB for single at a place which would take a 3 night booking (even better if cancellable).
Alternately point me at the best spots on the italian side.

Speak to Tina (Swedish) at Skiers Lodge in Le Bez, Villeneuve, she has a hotel (gite) and appts.
Knows me and KenX well, and she can be very flexible, though will be High Season, though remember that first week in Feb used to be half-term, but now it isn't and can be a cracking week as everyone still thinks it's highs season.
I'm sure Ken and I would look forward to showing you around, except we're escaping Serre for Japan Feb 8th - 18th then I plan to go back to UK last week of Feb, but they'll be a few others around.

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

We've stayed at Hotel Vauban in Briancon twice - both times for short stays, including easter weekend on one visit. It's bookable on sites like Booking.com.
Great location - about 5 mins walk to the gondola. A few bars and restaurants round about and the old town above Briancon is lovely - well worth a wander round.
Refurbished since we stayed and about £65-70/night for a double room in low season of winter 2019-20.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Should also add Pinewood Chalets run by Dave and Christine (say Gavin recommended them), a catapult from us, very flexible.
Both Pinewood and Skiers Lodge Le Bez good if you're travelling on your own as they're more sociable, with Scandis and Brits.
Tina's has a great comfy bar too.
