I’ll Never Stay at This Hotel Again 😬 | Bourg-Saint-Maurice Town Guide & Basecamp Lodge Review

Описание: This is a bonus episode in my ski vlog for non-skiers, with a town guide + honest hotel review of our stay in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the base town below Les Arcs ❄️

We’re staying at Basecamp Lodge while supporting family in hospital, so this episode is all about what the town is like, how to get around, and what to expect if you stay here.

In this vlog you’ll see:
• A walk around Bourg-Saint-Maurice town
• Exactly how to navigate the train station, taxi areas, luggage storage and bus stops
• Where the buses run, and how the funicular connects to the mountains
• Tourist information centre tips + QR codes for timetables and local activities
• A foodie stop at a sushi restaurant in town

Later in the vlog I do a full Basecamp Lodge review — both the good and the bad — including:
• What the rooms are like and how much it cost
• All the facilities (gym, social areas, laundry, reception maps)
• What worked well
• And why I can’t personally stay here again (very cold rooms / heating issues)

This video is a great watch if:
✔ You’re planning a trip to Les Arcs but thinking of staying in Bourg-Saint-Maurice
✔ You want honest hotel info before booking
✔ You like travel guides that show you what it actually looks like
