The accomadation in itself
Foyer Don Bosco
The Foyer Don Bosco is not actually a hotel, but it's a fabulous place for school/college groups and is specifically geared to their requirements. The Foyer Don Bosco is situated in the delightful village of Pré St Didier and it is only approximately 6 minutes by coach to the cable car.
The bedrooms are nicely furnished and all have private facilities. Rooms are mostly for 2, 3 or 4 people and some have balconies. In addition, there is a fantastic games room (table tennis, table soccer, board games etc) and an outside courtyard with basketball hoop. There is also a chapel, meeting room and lounge. Meals are self-service style (so great for kids!). Please be aware that, whilst the food is excellent, the Foyer does use plastic knives, plates and forks. The Foyer Don Bosco can accommodate groups of up to approximately 80.
