 Poster: A snowHead
|
Having made up our minds to go to Les Arcs 1800, I'm struggling to find decent catered chalet accommodation (I'm a Scott Dunn kinda girl) for our group visiting in January. Failing this, I see from Les Arcs tourist brochure there are only 3 hotels there (the Hotel Du Golf looks interesting, but pictures of the bedrooms grim), otherwise it seems mostly apartment buildings.
Have any Snowheads stayed in a catered chalet or hotel they would recommend? I need to get something booked in the next couple of weeks. Any advice gratefully received!
Thanks. 
PS: 1950 or 2000 weren't ruled out, but 1800 got the vote.

Beverley, can't give a personal recommendation but these people might help for a catered chalet (found on Google)...
http://www.lesarcschalets.co.uk/index.asp
Click on the search button without selecting anything else to see which chalets are located in which sections of the resort. 56 in total. If no-one comes up with anything better, a phone call or email to these guys might solve your problem.

Beverly,went this year and we stayed at Les Alpages de Chantel

Self catered appart/hotel thought they were very good.
For your giude though these are 2 blocks,try to specify block 1 as this is where ski hire/restuarant is based and also the ski in/out is easier

Beverley, if you're interested in the MGM development in Arc 1800 I have a small apartment there which I rent to snowHeads. More details by clicking on the link in my signature.

Beverley - have stayed at the Du Golf - and having stayed at many hotels in the Alps of various different (including much lower) star ratings - it is probably the only hotel I wouldnt go back to.
a) Bedrooms are huge but you are right - kinda retro 60s tired decor (unless they have redecorated)
b) I thought food was very mediocre - massive dining rooms - heaving
Not sure if others agree... but I'd look for a chalet or appt. Good luck

Thank you very much Rob for the info. The MGM development does look lovely and its just a shame it isn't a catered chalet. There will be a group of us going (numbers yet undecided) and I know we all decided on catered accommodation or a hotel. The thought of making my own porridge on holiday is unthinkable

rob@rar.org.uk,
Quick, start up a catering service, there's obviously demand! I can lend you some old recipe book!

boredsurfin, I'm not entirely sure that would be a good idea! Breakfast would be OK (providing everyone liked my favourite skiing breakfast of porridge with banana and honey), but after that my culinary skills would rapidly hit a brick wall (in every sense of the term).
