Four blokes going to Les Carroz (though would consider anywhere else closeish to Geneva) between Feb 6-10 - place we stayed in last year is fully booked, as are one or two others we've checked out. Not massively easy to find anywhere to stay - anyone got any suggestions? Pref close to piste.
cheers

Excellent - we should meet up - I'm arriving late on Thursday night with my daughter (sneaky extra weekend on the planks). Any distinguishing features in your party to avoid the embarassment of me introducing myself to the wrong northern soul boys? Feel free to ignore or pm me....

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

Have a good one guys. Unortunately, I'm not heading out to Les Carroz until late March or else there would be another crashing your party.

Bois de la Char is basic but perfect for on piste. You have to carry your luggage across the bottom of a red run to the car park! Hope you get in here!

Hi twoodwar, sounds like you've stayed there? I have a feeling I know where it is - there's a wide sweeping red that comes into Les Carroz and turns into a track under a little tunnel that ends at the new telecabine - is it at the end of the red? 
|
|
|
|
|
|
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

According to my OL, Bois de la Char is very convenient but the food is pretty crap.

Exactly - it is at the base of the red just as it turns sharply to the right, shortly before the tunnel.
Another point - you don't need to carry luggage across the piste - they have a lift accessing the back door which on on the road.
Can't comment on the food but the hotel is just next to Les Servages D'Armelle which is by far the best restaurant (hotel actually) in Les Carroz.

You know it makes sense.
|
Simo has it right, but if its snow on the ground and only snow tyres(no chains), you wont make it up the final slope to the covered car park, hence the trip across the piste.
Essentially you can ski into the bar with only a little momentum! Food is not crap but basic savoyard. It is not Michelin starred, and you need to like ham and cheese.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Reports reached my ears of turkey escalopes being served at the Bois de la Char; if that isn't crap food, I don't know what is!
The OL is (somewhat reluctantly) going back for the 3rd time, so it can't be that bad.
