Poster: A snowHead
|
I last went to the Milky Way in 1986 when 4 of us shared a 2-bunk & sofa bed studio in Montgenevre... Happy days, but times change and now I prefer something more luxurious.
Austria seems packed with really nice 4* hotels with that classy alpine atmosphere, nice bar and restaurant and quiet comfortable rooms with a pool / wellness centre.
Does anyone know of a similar type hotel served by a tour operator, on the Milky Way? I'm guessing the Italian side is more likely to have such a place.

@red 27, Try the Anova in Montgenevre. I've not been personally but the TO prices seem to suggest a much higher standard tham other hotels

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

@nbt, ooh yes, that looks nice, thanks, definitely one for the list. €100 week extra for the spa seems a bit mean but hey ho.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@albob, Thanks - that also looks promising. Not the last word in luxury but along the lines of what I was thinking of.

@red 27, Hotel Anova in Montgenevre would be an option but bear in mind that it is in the new Obelisque area (can ski to and from but not in village centre) and I think it is 3* not 4. I would also look at Le Napoleon self catering apartments. The apartments are 4* high end with end of stay cleaning included (plus midweek if needed) and you can order breakfast goods through reception, and there is a very nice pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna plus spa. It is in the centre of the village you just have to cross the road to the slopes. At lunch time you could eat at a very nice mountain restaurant called Les Terraces and in the evening there are lots of options for eating out nearby. We booked it through Peak Retreats whose prices include self drive flexiplus eurotunnel. Have also booked accommodation only through them at a lower rate and booked own travel by train or plane.
If luxury hotel is the main priority I don't think you will find one in Montgenevre or Claviere. But the skiing is excellent so would suggest compromising on accommodation for really enjoyable skiing in a slightly off the beaten track resort. One of the nicest hotels I've seen in France is the Taj I Mah in Arc 2000. Did not stay there but used the spa which was A1.

Thanks - TA reviews mention 'noise from the night club' which is a red flag for me (being a fussy light-sleeper)

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Thnaks. The location looks fine for me - I'm happy to walk around a bit. It's certainly on the list
Will also check out those apartments
