 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Planning to go ski-ing for a few days in France in February half term week- myself and 12 yr old daughter. Looking for cheap accomodation (hostel would be OK I think)- which I guess might be difficult at half term, particularly as would only be for 2-3 nights. Probably would fly to Geneva. Any ideas please?

Hi,
The following information might help!
The Budget Options:
■Formule 1 Geneva Airport - From just 35 € per room (can sleep up to 3 people in a double bed with single bunk above) this very basic budget hotel is a 12 minute drive from the airport. A taxi will cost around 15 €. It may be possible for our mini bus to do a drop off there en route if time permits.
■Hotel Stars Geneva Airport - From 45 € per room (based on two people sharing) this budget hotel is a few minutes drive from the airport. A taxi will cost around 12 €. It may be possible for our mini bus to drop off en route if time permits.
A Little More Luxury:
Hotel Ibis Geneva Airport - From £55 weekend/£69 mid week per room this comfortable hotel has a shuttle bus that runs to and from the hotel between the hours of 05:30 – 23:00.
For more information and a full range of hotels either within the city centre or near the airport visit www.hotelscomparison.com .
Regards
Mick R

wopple, there probably won't be anything cheap in resort. But if you stay in a hotel down on the A 40 motorway between Geneva and chamonix you would be in very easy driving distance of a range of resorts. The Formule 1 in Annemasse would be hyper cheap, but about an hour (e.g. to Chamonix or Flaine). the IBIS in Sallanches would be a fair bit more expensive, but very close to Combloux (10 - 15minutes) and only a few minutes further to Megeve. You could also look for hotels in Passy, Le Fayet etc.
there are some hostels in Chamonix - my niece has stayed in one and rated it highly - no doubt someone who knows Chamonix will come up with some suggestions, though that week might be very busy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

A little plug for a beautiful village to stay in. It is called Finhaut and is the first town in Switzerland east of the Chamonix resorts. A small ski area at Les Marécottes is accessible by train in 10 minutes from the village. Or Vallorcine in France which is part of the greater Chamonix ski area is again about 10 minutes away by train or car.
There is a B+B in the village called Le Mont Fleuri, never stayed there, but it's a lovely little place, a handful of restaurants, a corner shop, a train station, amazingly for a village of 374 inhabitants who all seem to know each other, there is a 25m swimming pool ideal for apres-ski. Just writing this is making me very homesick for the village.

Just had a thought, have you considered UCPA? They do weekends for 120 euro for 2 days in February inclusive of everything except transport.
