waterboy Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hello, We are heading to Chamonix for a climbing trip April 10-18. Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels that are good for climbing trips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfire Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Depends on what you are looking for. I always stay in a Gite when I'm in Chamonix. They are like a hostel, only not usually as nice/fancy. The Gite Ski Station is where we stayed last year and it was rustic, but clean and the owner was VERY nice and even let us store gear in the attic for a week when we were on the Haute Route. I think it was about 12Euro a night per person which is way cheap for there. It is next door to the Brenva ski lift. There are a number of other Gite's in the area as well. Usually you have to call them to reserve as the interweb reservation thing is not in their interest/budget. Google Chamonix Gite to find some. I've stayed at a couple of others in town as well. PM me if you have additional questions as I have been to Cham quite a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Conway Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've stayed at the Belvedere up the road in Argentiere (good public transport to Chamonix, far quieter and less of a scene) http://www.gitelebelvedere.eu/ I think the management has changed at the Belvedere. If you need an airport transfer from Geneva http://www.alpybus.com Easter week is "fun" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
