Hi, hoping to draw on Snowheads vast reservoir of knowledge- thinking of a 3-4 day skiing holiday in Chamonix in early Jan. having not skied there before, can anyone suggest a well located,reasonably priced hotel that has its own restaurant (we are of an age where we don't go far in the evenings!) quite happy to arrange own flights.transfers etc but do like abit of comfort in our old age! All suggestions gratefully recieved!!!!

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

Grands montets in Argentiere is very close to the lift and has nice spa etc, but you’d need to walk 500m to the nearest restaurant.

have looked at Alpina and Le priere, le priere looks good value although not as well located as alpina although i believe free shuttles/buses around resort. Looking at 4 days early jan-not sure of snow record then?

@almost there, I’d argue Prieurie better located, or, at least, just as good. That said shorter walk from alpina to Savoy drag an thus up to Brevent.
Cham pretty snow sure.

Boutique Hotel le Morgane, near Aguille de Midi, was booked into Alpina as we loved it but got bumped the week before into the Morgane. Excellent hotel, location and a free ski bus to take you to the lifts and pick you up. They did it for the same price but we’re going back next March, it’s pricier this time but worth it. Near bars and restaurants, 2 mins from the Main Street.

Also stayed at Pointe Isabelle, excellent 3 star with good bar and very good food in their restaurant.

Priere is very close to the Chx centre bus stop 'hub' so I'ld say it's well located.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

It is an amazing hotel, though. Walking to restaurants is not bad from there.

@steviet865, Pointe Isabelle undergoing major renovation, not 100% sure it’ll be finished for winter. I presume that that’s their goal though.
