 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, we've got our flights to Geneva booked  , now for the accommodation.
We're 2 guys (skier and boarder) and will consider any resort within 3-hours transfer from Geneva airport. Switzerland or France, we don't care, just give us quick access to great slopes and we're happy as pigs in slop.
We arrive on 3rd Jan and depart on 8th Jan, so we need room(s) for 5 nights. We'll take apartments, hotels and chalet sharing (preferred).
So if you think you can sort us out please let me know.

welcome to Snowheads, VoodooBob. That period spans the new year week and the following week, doesn't it? I suspect you'll find it pretty difficult to get accommodation just for part of those two weeks, and might need to find a cheapish apartment and pay for the two weeks. An alternative would be to stay in a hotel somewhere like Sallanches, which gives you easy driving access to some great resorts, including Chamonix and Flaine. You'd need a hired car for that, obviously.

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

Thanks for the welcome Pam. I'm sure it won't be easy to get a room just for those dates, but where there's a will! We've now got the car hired too so we've got to make this happen somehow. Can you recommend any good websites or contacts for chalet sharing?

We've been to this place before in Tignes Les Boisses http://www.mountainsunltd.com/chalet/chalet-hotel-les-melezes
Quiet little spot outside the main hub of tignes. Just 2 mins walk to the piste, then maybe another minute skiing to the lift. Great service, great food and not at all expensive. They are pretty flexible so might be able to accommodate you. Not uber modern and fancy, but it's clean, cosy and lots of good grub.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi VoodooBob,
We can help with the dates but as pam w, says, the prices are quite expensive because the beginning of the dates are New Years week.
We can do a twin room in Chalet Campanules for £899 per person, fully catered with catering each night of your stay - chalet details via the link below. Ski-in ski-out chalet with sauna, wifi, tv room etc.
Happy planning!
Heather

VoodooBob, if mountainsun can accommodate you in Les Melezes, that would be good - I'd endorse exactly what Tordi says, it's excellent value.
I'm sure the place Heather is offering would be good too, more expensive but more upmarket, and probably more convenient. Don't delay on making a decision - that new year week is one of the busiest throughout the entire Alps!

Will definitely take a closer look at Mountain Sun, cheers Tordi. Unfortunately Chalet Campanules is a little above budget, but thanks anyway Heather.

VoodooBob, FYI Melezes also has in-house ski hire and servicing which is very reasonably priced. They did a smart job waxing/edging my skis for me the night we arrived...the hire skis looked pretty good quality too.

VoodooBob, if you fancy coming over to Les Arcs, staying either in Bourg St Maurice or up on the mountain in one of the stations let me know as I have friends that sometimes rent out their apartmets. Different sizes. You can easily get to Bourg and Les Arcs from geneva Airport by Coach direct to Bourg and up to the station or with car rental if you prefer. Check out my facebook page or the Les Arcs snowheads season thread for more Les Arcs details. Hope that hepls.
