Today I finally found some time to look for suitable accommodation in Verbier. It's not an easy task as there are surprisingly few Hotels and many are extremely expensive. Not only that most of them are closed in Summer. However, after a few hours of phoning round this is the best solution I can find. There are a few slightly cheaper B&Bs but none have more than 3 rooms and there isn't enough B&Bs to accommodate us all.
The Bristol Hotel, Verbier is a 3 star hotel smack bang in the centre of Verbier. The Manager has said we can park our bikes in their garage overnight and they have plenty of single and double rooms.
Now we are 19 and taking into account request for single rooms, we need 8 doubles/twins and 3 singles. Room rates are CHF 185 per double room and CHF 135 per single including breakfast and all taxes. This means those sharing will be paying CHF 92.50 per night which at today's exchange rate is about £54 per person. B&B's in Verbier charge between CHF 65 and 100 per person per night depending on season.
I haven't booked it yet, but if you want my advice given the location and time of year I think we should.
Comments please chaps.
Thanks for that, Mags. I'll resist the "Carry On" reference to Bristol. Fnar fnar!
Absolutely fine with me.
Although fingers' crossed, we might get slightly cheaper, but just as nice, accommodation as we wind our way round the Alps? Just as happy if it's around these kind of rates, but just icing on the cake, if you know what I mean?
