Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I've booked a flight for the above dates (2-7 Feb 2008) to Grenoble to go Skiing. Rest of the family doesn't like snow, cold or mountains so I have to go on my own. I'm trying to find a (cheap) place to stay but only seem to be able to get large challets or expensive hotels. I would liked a bed in a shared challet or something and I don't really care which resort it's in. As long as I can get there from grenoble.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

The Lutins, the Chamois or the Sherpa in 2Alpes. The Chamois in Alpe d'Huez.

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

Have you tried http://www.scuba-ski.com in 2Alpes? Lyn & Pete who run it are great - we went last Christmas and are going back this year. They have an apartment which they run like a catered chalet (cooked breakfast, tea, 3 course evening meal with wine) and if they have space they'll let you transfer on which ever days you want and stop for whatever number of nights i.e. you don't have to do Saturday to Saturday

rayscoops, the PSB price will be cheaper than the winter rate, but it still shouldn't be £100 a night, far from it.

Helen Beaumont, agreed, only put up the thread reference in comparison to £100 a day rate. The list price on the wall in the reception last winter was about 40 euro for a single and 65 Euro for a double, not the £100 he suggested.

Hi, Only price I have been able to find for Let Lutins is on: http://www.ifyouski.com (all other suggest that I call them for details). Is there a website you can recommend for booking this hotel on-line or would calling the hotel directly be the best option. I've also emailed www.scuba-ski.com for availability and will report back! Thanks for your help.

DoubleDutch, ring the hotel. Or ring the tourist office if you don't speak French.

Called the hotel and they spoke perfect english. They quote a price of EUR 35 a night but are fully booked I guess all the travel agents got there first.....

DoubleDutch, there is a lot more accommodation in 2Alpes than is listed on the website - suggest you call the tourist office and ask for a copy of their resort guide for the winter, then go direct to hotels etc.

Really sorry that we can't help you for this perid of time as we have a provisional booking already. If the booking does not materialise we will contact you to see if you are still looking for somewhere.
We are here in Les Deux Alpes at the moment and a lot of places will be opening up this weekend for the mondial trade fair when the ski lifts are opening, and so we an ask around for you.
If you are reading blizt look forward to seeing you at Christmas.

OK - I seem to have sorted it out. Through the Alpe D'Huez tourist office I managed to find L'hôtel l'Ancolie (http://www.hebergement-florineige.com/hotel/accueil.html) at about €65 a night which isn't too bad. If anyone has any bad experiences with this hotel or the location - let me know and I'll go and buy a tent! Next challange get from Grenoble airport to the hotel but hopefully "Bens Bus" can help with that..... I'm starting to realize why they invented package holidays
