 Poster: A snowHead
|
We have a problem with logistics and our children skiing in Welsh Championships up to 23rd January ( a Friday ), which are being held in Champery, and then needing to go to their separate ways to British Schoolboys in Meiringen/Hasliberg, Switzerland and British Schoolgirls in Flaine for the following week !!
ACRA, the Academy and coaches that will take them from training in Austria on 18th January leaves Champery on 23rd after the final race to return to Austria.. A minibus will be collecting my son to take him to Meiringen on Saturday morning (24th) and we will travel to pick up our daughter to take her to Flaine (where we will stay for the week) on Saturday 24th. During the time the Academy is looking after the racers they will stay in a youth centre in Champery but this would not be suitable for an overnight on 23rd when the "team" has gone..
To solve the problem we need to go to Champery on 23rd and pick up our children and find a family room in/near Champery for one night then hand our son over to the minibus (Saturday morning) and us to leave for Flaine on Saturday morning with daughter. The problem is finding 1 night accommodation at a reasonable price within an hour or so of Champery!
Does anyone have any ideas ?

If you mean Chambery there are loads of places nearby. Try looking up the Logis de France website, or Campanile - I think we've stayed in one about 5 - 10 mins from there. There is also a pretty grim place called the Hotel Quick Palace in Voglans, which if there was space and time... 
Good luck with the search.

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

MarjMJ, I imagine Alun Williams indeed means Champery, on the Swiss side of the PDS.
Alun Williams, if I were you I'd look for somewhere in the valley and deliver your son up the mountain again on the Sat am. Swiss hotels, especially outside resorts, tend to be much more amenable to individual nights and non-Sat-Sat stays

We managed to get one night last year in Montriond (PDS) at Les Sapins which is a Logis de France hotel - basic but stunning lakeside situation.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Many thanks, yes it is Champery in Portes du Soleil.
I think it may have to be a travel back on the saturday morning but I am not sure of the geography, in the region! Campanile or Mercure equivalent would be good value and suitable for overnight purpose.
Montriond, at Les Sapins is only allowing a 3 day minimum on the Logis web site and the price is over 900 euros per night. The following week in Flaine (for the British Schoolgirls) is 500 euros for the week.
