So 6 years in the making the Mrs is finally ready to go.
1st time for both of us (bit excited)
Looking for accommodation recommendations for 2 people.
Book now or are there better deals to be had closer to the date.

We just got a great little place in Les Gets, the week before those pesky English have school holidays.

The prices of Eurostar, accomodation etc all rose over Christmas, I imagine it will continue to rise as everyone has same thoughts as you.

So is one of you talking about mountain biking, and the other one skiing?

Booked Eurostar last night for £81 each way, which I thought was ok.
Les Gets looks to have nicer accommodation but catching the last lift out of morzine at 5pm concerns me a bit.
We're booked for end of July.

Morzine is a much better location than LG if you want to explore and go for bigger rides. You can ride until much later and still get home easily. For 2 people you are probably looking a hotel although there are a few small apartments around. You'll have no trouble getting a room as the place is well under occupied compared to winter. I'd say if you want an apartment or a space in a shared chalet book soon. For a hotel probably go for a late deal but still worth looking now

Call Zeb at chalet Montana. Just outside Morzine 5 mins by bike.

Good rates in summer. Say Ells V put you in touch. Could get a deal.

The Igloo hotel. Ask for a room on the non-road side. Lockable bike storage and drying room, and friendly host.

I was mr lastminute this year, only booked 7 days before I went in July. I plan to do the same this year as I dont want a repeat of last year with the weather. The 1 week forecast was absolutely spot on & I should have heeded it & stayed home, but it was my first time also & I was super exited about going. (it was torrential rain & we lost 3+ days)
I had no issues getting accommodation that close to going out there.

Ah, I guess you meant Eurotunnel when you say you're taking the van.

Eurostar being the passenger train has limits on taking bikes that's all (and £81 would be cheap to get Eurostar to the alps).

Check out the morzine tourist board website. Me and the missus have booked a few nice apartments in the centre through it.
