 Poster: A snowHead
|
Folks,
For this year's boys weekend (four poss five of us) we have decided that Alpe D'Huez is for us. Never been before and unsure of setup here so can anyone help with suggestions on where to stay?
Mid January so not peak season. 3 nights (thurs/fri/sat). Late dep Sun.
We'd like:
Stay in the village (1860?), apartment, single beds.
Cheap hotel (B&B)
Cheap chalet (B&B).
Plan to eat out, so only need breakfast in the apt / hotel.
Quality not that important - we can slum it with the best. Clean / warm / dry are the basic requirements.
Short walk to slopes.
We're all pretty mean so value is a priority.
Some conflicts / contradictions here I know, and I suspect there will be a compromise or two along the way...
Thanks in advance.
SM

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

Enquiry sent.
Many thanks,

Oh - that looks just like the hotel we stayed in AdH! But it wasn't called that and it was a family-run French hotel. Do you know if it changed ownership since about 2003 and what it's previous name was Lizzard?

ADH is gash.
Worst major resort in the Alps.
Unattractive and soulless.
Rebook and go to Deux Alpes.

I take it you'd like empty slopes for your ADH ski hol?

If you board I'd consider LDA myself, skiing ADH is great!
ADH does have some amazing terrain, it's just getting to it. That hotel is 2mins from the piste, however it takes 45mins-1hr to get to the highest piste (longer iin Feb)! Night life is epic, if pricey!

cathy, different place - that's been the Chamois for years and was a TO property (Neilson?) until a few years ago.
