I thought there'd been some info on this hotel here, but can't find anything on the search facitlity. So, wondered whether anyone has any first/second hand experience/info.
Thanks

Steyed there a couple of years ago on a last minute deal. Basic room but no complaints, it's geared up for big groups and think we got a group leader room, twin beds & tv, most people we talked to had much more basic facilities. However all was warm, quiet, plenty of hot water and a good nights sleep. British Manageress and husband seemed to keep a very tight rein on the very young staff, resulting in surprisingly good service, good food and a happy atmosphere.
Pretty much ski in-ski out, we were there late March 08 and the run back was slushy at the end of the day. Ski room was a bit of a scrum in the morning, mainly due to a couple of large beginner groups unfamiliar with kitting up for the day. Save a few euros and take your own lock for the ski locker.
Two bars, "sports" bar with sky tv, pool table etc which we avoided and converted cellar/stable? bar where we had some good nights, very good house red and bizzare acoustics due to vaulted ceiling, a noisy room when it's full but you can hear someone whisper at the opposite side of the room if you sit in the right place.
Would definitely consider rebooking if a good last minute price was available.
Think there is a snowhead who has a family member working there this season.

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

Chasseur, the default search is for topic title now, try selecting search for all terms, and select topic title and message text. We'll be out there that week so look us up.

There might be some deals with Ski Miquel or the Hotel Rif Blanc in Monetier.

Chasseur, kevducky is the snowhead who has referred to having a family member working there this season, I think. Might be worth a PM?

Chasseur, we'll be out there until 4th April. No contacts in Villeneuve for ski hire I'm afraid.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I've just been looking at a piste map of SC....has the bubble out of Chantemerle been "cut in half"? Looks as though it now stops at Serre Ratier with a new chair going up from there? The bubble used to go up to Grand Alp...non?

Chasseur, cast is off now, so it's all systems go! Obviously have to take it a bit easier, but it feels OK-ish.
I'm sure it will be fine!
