Chamonixinfo.com launch live hotel booking service

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 10:10:33 GMT

ChamonixInfo.com is an expert on all things Chamonix and the portal has decided to make the most of this knowledge to expand the services offered on its website by launching an online hotel booking service with live availability.

Chamonix is one of the most popular alpine resorts in France, with a high demand for accommodation year round. Online booking has become a lifestyle choice, unlike traditional ways of organising holidays, which is why more and more travellers are choosing to arrange and book their own independent holiday to resorts such as Chamonix for added flexibility and choice.

ChamonixInfo.com provides information and research on the area, meaning customers can easily find the information they need, even if they know little about the area they are visiting. The site offers independent reviews and write-ups on handpicked hotels in the Chamonix area so users can quickly browse the range of accommodation on offer.

Going one step further, ChamonixInfo has now launched its online Chamonix hotel booking service, with many of the hotels featured on the website offering online live availability checking and booking.

This new service makes booking a holiday to Chamonix without using a travel agent or tour operator easy. Having chosen the hotel, users simply click on the 'Search and book' button to open up the webpage for their chosen hotel. After imputing the dates and number of rooms required, a quote for the holiday will be returned.

All quotes are for the price of the room for the whole stay and not per person and you are sure to get the best internet rates offered by the featured hotels in Chamonix. Those looking for car hire or flights can also find great deals using the search box on the ChamonixInfo homepage.

Simon Hills, managing director of ChamonixInfo.com commented: "ChamonixInfo has stepped up a gear with the ability to offer live hotel availability and booking services through the website. What makes us different from other tourist information websites on Chamonix is that we are independent, with hotel descriptions written by people who know the establishments as they live in resort, backed up with user reviews to give an honest view of the hotels featured."

ChamonixInfo has hotels the length and breadth of the Chamonix valley, so users can easily book a ski holiday resorts like the three star Aiglons Resort and Spa Hotel in Chamonix centre, near Mont Blanc.

Cecile Rasetti, director of sales at the Aiglons Resort and Spa Hotel commented: "As one of the major hotels in Chamonix, we're pleased to be working with ChamonixInfo to offer live availability and booking for the Aiglons Resort and Spa Hotel. The partnership means we can offer excellent on-line deals, in English, for travellers using ChamonixInfo.com to organise their own independent holiday to Chamonix."

Notes for editors:
The ChamonixInfo.com hotel live booking system is available now for booking selected accommodation in the Chamonix valley and Megeve for those looking to book an independent holiday.

The service also offers a hotel plus flight option, as well as the opportunity to book a hire car from Geneva airport.

ChamonixInfo has the end of the Chamonix ski season covered

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:54:47 GMT

ChamonixInfo, leading information website, highlights that, although the 2009/2010 winter ski season is drawing to a close in the Chamonix Valley ski area, the action and the closing parties are far from over.

With excellent late season snow conditions and glorious weather, Chamonix is one of only a handful of ski resorts in the French Alps still open, with skiing offered at Les Grands Montets right up until the 9th May 2010.

Not only is the action still happening on the slopes of Chamonix, but also off the slopes. The closing parties are gathering pace and ChamonixInfo has updated, relevant information on all the parties, festivals and all-nighters the length and breadth of the valley.

To celebrate an exceptional year of snow conditions and as a final goodbye to the 2009/2010 winter ski season, the party venues include the pistes at Brevent, with an after party event featuring live music and DJs. Flegere will be hosting an outdoor dance night in Paradis les Praz - an idyllic wood cabin nestled in the pine forest, and no season in Chamonix would be the same without the legendary Freeride Days at Les Grands Montets full of tomfoolery on the slopes, fancy dress, music and dancing.

This year the Brevent, Flegere and Balme ski areas are due to close at the end of the day on the 25th April before reopening again for the summer hiking and mountain biking season. Les Grands Montets will stay open every day until the 9th May 2010, offering skiing up to an altitude of 3275m above sea level on the Argentiere Glacier.

Chamonix itself is unique in that it is a year-round destination with a 'proper' town feel, so once the winter season comes to a close, ChamonixInfo.com will still be updating all the activities and events information for Chamonix during the inter-season.

As well as providing essential information on what to do in Chamonix, ChamonixInfo.com has a full directory of all the Chamonix restaurants, bars, cafes and shops in the resort including visitor feedback.
