 Poster: A snowHead
|
Am having a bit of trouble booking for new year, the problem being that the missus is a teacher and we don't want to be away for christmas. We've booked flights to geneva for dec26 - jan02, which is a wednesday to wednesday week of 7 nights....somewhere.
Umpteen places in Zermatt claim to have availability but then the email comes back and they only take sat-sat bookings. Same with Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs - all 3 websites only let you search for accommodation sat-sat.
We need somewhere high in France or western switzerland, not too concerned about self catered vs hotel etc at this point.
Chalet pimps feel free to wade in, plus anyone else who knows of places likely to take a wed-wed booking?

Try drop this site an e-mail. They have contacts in La Plagne. As you have already stated Wednesday to Wednesday is difficult at the best of times but across New Year week....................... 
Good luck

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

Plake, I don't think it's easy to get non Sat-Sat bookings for peak weeks, especially in the higher resorts. Have you considered staying in somewhere like Bourg St Maurice? It has excellent links to several resorts, including high speed funicular to Les Arcs and 35 minutes or less by road to Val d'Isere, Tignes, La Rosiere, etc. Maybe the hotels and B&Bs in Bourg St Maurice might be slightly more flexible about when you start your trip, especially if you contact them directly rather than going through Les Arcs' central accommodation agency?

Plake,
If you scroll down this page there are links to a couple of Hotels in Bourg also worth sending Peter who runs the site a PM as he lives in Boorg and knows many that may help.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Plake, We're booked for that time unfortunately, but you could try our agents Bigfoot in Chamonix - some of their chalets book from any day. Hotels are generally more flexible than chalets, too...
