Le Praz / Courchevel 1300 accomodation
 
Hi, has anyone on here stayed in Le Praz and can recommend
accomodation for a couple with a three-year-old. There doesn't seem to
be much on offer for the lower end of the bracket - unless I'm looking
in the wrong place... Cheers

Although it's one of my favourite villages, accomodation-wise there
isn't much in Le Praz apart from the hotel(s), catered chalets and s/c
chalets for 4 adults.
As a result we (as a couple) often stay in La Tania where there is more
choice and some smaller s/c apartments that you might be OK with this
season (where we get the feelng a few peope are desperate for bookings).
Take a look at here for a list of everything in La Tania:

Strongly recommen Le Bouc Blanc at the top of the La Tania gondola for
lunch....

Good Luck.

Just received an email from these people:

Never stayed there, so no idea if good or not, and possibly not what
you'd consider "lower end", but maybe interesting if they let the
toddler share your room.

We have stayed with these people though in their other s/c chalet and
they are very nice and helpful:

Agin, define "lower end" :/

I'm going out to visit my sister who is working the season there. I
had intentions of staying with her but the owners have put their foot
down that if we all stay with her (there's seven of us) it would make
the chalet over-occupied and affect insurance.
So I'm not looking for a catered chalet holiday in the true sense of
the term - just somewhere to crash every night as I'll be out and
about with my sister most of the time...
So "lower end"... just one of those tiny apartments that used to be
ubiquitous in the 1980s would suit me - think Arc 1800...

Call Helen at chalet Valeriane. They have another s/c chalet (or used to
have one) with 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed which might neet your criteria
of "lower end". If she can't help I'm sure she'll try and point you at
someone who can....

Many thanks for all the advice. Accomodation is now sorted - a one-bed
apartment in Grand Bois, La Tania. More than I wanted to pay but the
spec seems nice and the cost was almost a third of what British tour
operators wanted for the same apartment!
