Another Alp D'huez accomodation request

morrisje

I'm looking to do a June trip to the French Alps in order to do all the famous mountains, especially Alp D'huez.

Does anyone know a website for good central accomodation. Basically cheap but cheerful for 4 guys. One thing I really want is not to have to hire a car at Grenoble airport so the accomadation would need to offer transfers.

Thanks

you can get a bus from grenoble airport that takes bikes and is very cheap

the Oisans website also has a lot of places to stay

Try Oz, its where some of the pro teams stay when preparing for the tour, easy to get to by bus

Thanks for the info. The bus looks very useful and the Kingofthemountains accomodation is just the job.

I also found this place which looks nice and quite cheap. http://chaletribot.com/

If anyone is looking to grab themselves a fantastic place from which to watch the Tour de France climb up the famous bends of Alpe D'Huez I have used these guys in the past:

They have a great apartment for rent in the old part of town, with a big south facing balcony that overlooks the action as the riders climb the bends up the mountain!! :shock:

As someone else has mentioned, it is easy & cheap to get a bus from Grenoble airport to Alpe D'Huez - I have done it many times myself.
