Hotel Moris Pub
See their “all included” package, flights, transfers and half board in a very good location.
MW does not charge extra for a single room occupancy which is rare enough to mention!
It is not a five star hotel, it is simple, a bit noisy, but can be a good choice for young budgets.

Hotel les Chardons

In the centre of the village, near the church, this little hotel, a bit old fashioned, offers really good prices. Prices start at 57€/person/half board, the average price is around 72€/person/half board. The location is very good being in the village and near the pistes. Some of the bedrooms have the minimum, a washbasin and a bidet!, some have a shower or a bath. There is always a bathroom at the end of the corridor…
The food can be dsecribed as family cooking and traditional.
A bit like Marmite…. some will love it!
