Hotel recommendation in Moutiers ?
Dear All,
5 of us are travelling down to La Tania for a couple of weeks skiing and have been looking at travel options: a) Fly and transfer b) Ski train from Waterloo to Moutiers (the charter one with couchettes not the SNCF one) c) Ski train from Paris to Moutier (SNCF one with couchettes) d) Eurostar overnight to Moutiers (first class to allow for at least some sleep !) e) Eurostar during the day on Friday plus a hotel overnight in Moutiers ready for an early start skiing on the Saturday. Our conclusions a a) cuts off a days skiing at either end of the holiday. b) Can't be booked for a two week holiday (return must be the following Saturday) c) Can't be booked that far in advance and tends to fill up quickly. d) Expensive, but the cattle class seats are not suited for sleeping. And skiing tired is a recipie for accidents ! Which leaves e) as a nice option. Travel down during Friday means we get to see France as we are whisked through the countryside. We can then enjoy a nice meal in Moutiers and a comfy night in a hotel. So.... Heres the question : Can anyone recommend any cheap, clean friendly hotels that will take a one night booking at the time of year (first two weeks in Feb), plus a 2nd night for the way back ? Only 10 weeks to go ! Cheers, Ben. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I've stayed in the IBIS at Moutiers a couple of times, should be bookable over the Internet http://www.ibishotel.com/ibis/index.html You might look at Albertville as well, there seems to be a number of cheap hotels there as well.

Ian Sorry if i am missing something, but if you can travel by train on the Friday then surely you could also use Fly/ transfer on Friday as well. This would have the additional benefit of slightly cheaper flights and less crowed transfer conditions. Ian |

We have in our party, one person who *hates* flying and one who feels that flying is environmentaly disgracefull. The Ibis in Moutiers is full for that night, I've only managed to find phone numbers for the other hotels, I'll give them a ring and see... Cheers, Ben. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
