 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hallo,
I am going to be based in Paris for 12 weeks. I would like to go snowboarding in Les Deux Alpes or wherever is convenient at the weekend. From reading your website I understand that it is possible for me to take a train from Paris to Grenoble and then a bus to Les Deux.
Hence I am looking for a single bed in a dorm (or whatever is available) for 2 nights for any of the following weekends: March 4th- 6th, March 11th – 13th and/or March 18th – March 19th........ or any other w-ends that there might be availability.
Is it possible to find reasonable priced accommodation in the resorts for just one or two nights at the weekend????
Any ideas, suggestions????
All help would be appreciated as it is not often that u get a chance to be based in a country bang in the middle of the season that offers the possibility for boarding at the weekend. It's a bummer coming from Ireland....

Loads too much trouble I'd have thought, from Paris can you not got to La Fayet or Bourg-st-Maurice direct?

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

Cheers for the reply. I only got word on Friday that I will be working in PAris for 12 weeks so I'm just thinking out loud. I was actually in the middle of booking a week in Les Deux before I got told that I was off to Paris. Since I', nearer the mountians than if I was at home, it would be great to get a couple of w-endd boarding in. I have never being boarding in France so......... I guess I need to research more and / or get advice oin thebest optiond for weekends near Paris.... all depends on where I can get reasonable accommodation for 2 nights only...

abbey, I would have thought you might manage in March, particularly if you stay down in the valley (e.g.Bourg St Maurice), you can get the train straight there. You then have quite a choice where to ski, but have a funicular up into Les Arcs (great for boarding), and can then also 'board' in La Plagne.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Abbey, don't let them put you off - just had a very good girlfriend make the same journey with 15month, 12 year and husband. Paris straight to Grenoble stops only once at Lyon, no change just under 3 hours. Bus stop at Grenoble jsut next to train station, 5 euros bus straight up to either Alpe d'Huez or Deux Alpes very easy - if you'd like a hand with accommodation ADH, I can point you in the right direction of a comfortable, cheapish hotel, almost on the slopes!!

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

That sounds pretty good for you Abbey. Otherwise I know that there is a youth hostel in Tignes which I'm sure will do just a couple of nights. Failing that the villages along the bottom of the Tarentaise valley all have little hotels and buses up the mountain each morning which are quite cheap and frequent. Enjoy!
