Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All, any suggestions?
We are booked to stay in Vallandry for Feb half term and now have the chance to arrive a day earlier and grab some extra ski time! So, I'm now looking for a hotel or B&B for the Friday evening, so far everything I've looked at is full.
I'm happy to widen my search to Bourg or even Albertville and hoped some snowheads might have some suggestions
Many thanks

allthegearnoidea, that's a very busy night, and places book up months and months in advance. Albertville would be fine - IF you can find anything. There are a number of hotels there, including a Formule 1 very near the road through, if budget is tight. It's a small place - nowhere would be more than a few minutes from the road. And a couple of massive supermarkets nearby if you need to stock up for self catering. Arriving very early on the Saturday is a very good idea, but be aware you'll need to be equipped to ski from your car as most accommodation isn't ready till around 4 pm.
Think hard about your departure, too. Either leave the resort very early on your final Saturday or (better) ski all day then drive a few hours north (Dijon, for example) prior to finishing the drive home on Sunday.

allthegearnoidea,
Regrettably I have nothing constructive to add, other than to say that I'll be in Peisey-Vallandry with friends and family during half term too (10th Feb to 17th in our case).
Here's hoping for great conditions and fab skiing.

Thanks for the info pam w, you're so right, we plan to arrive as early as poss and leave very very early on the final saturday.
I've taken a look at the F1 you mention, already full. A good idea to combine with a trip to the supermarket, so I'll take a look at the other hotels in Albertville. But sounds like everywhere is going to be full, so might have to forget the exta day
Have a great time chemistry... we stayed in Vallandry for the first time last year and loved the skiing, can't wait to return.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

avoid Hotel de Savoie in Albertville, they are useless, La Roma may have space but I'd get in quick, and if anyone suggests Hotal Banadine then ask them if they have ever managed to find the blooming place!
