Accomodation and travel information (incl. costs)

General Information:

All the participants will stay at the Centre Paul Langevin in Aussois, where the scientific sessions will take place.

We expect all the participants to stay for the entire duration of the workshop (Monday 9am - Saturday noon), in particular not to arrive on Monday morning (which means missing essentially all the talks of the day) and not to leave on Friday afternoon (which means missing the Saturday session and all the round tables on Friday).

Priority will in any case be given to participants attending all the sessions given the restricted number of rooms we have this year. [It might be possible to stay somewhere else but it is not very convenient and we will not be able to provide any help to search]

Aussois is a ski resort and the workshop takes place in winter. You should then expect winter conditions and the corresponding traffic issues. It therefore makes sense to try to avoid the late trains and to consider arriving in the late morning or early afternoon, to arrive with daylight. The sunset is at 5pm!

Cost:

The cost for the conference attendance with full board accommodation for 6 nights and the conference fee is 770€ (single occupancy) and 700€ (double shared) (incl. all the meals, the coffee breaks, the rental of the conference room, etc.) . If you stay one night more, add about 110€ (The centre will take care fo this). The default way is to directly pay at the centre (cash or card). Other options should be analysed case by case (and you should inform us as early as possible).

Note the price for accompanying persons is also 110€ per day as full board accommodation is mandatory.

Special requests (meals and housing):

You are asked to specify any dietary requirements when you registered. You can modify such information by updating your registration until December 23rd.

The same applies for the accommodation of companions (double rooms) and kids. If you have doubts, email J.P. Lansberg. The additional cost per night for full board accommodation is approximatively 90€ (it should be paid at the centre).

Ski et al.:

Once the scientific program is settled, we will take care of the social activities and, in particular, ski. If there is a sufficient number of ski/snowboard beginners, we can book group lessons (to be paid by you, of course).

Travel information and tips:

The center is 9km away from the Modane train station reachable from Italy (Torino) or France (Lyon, Paris, ...).

We usually arrange shared taxi to reduce your cost. There are also 1 or 2 buses per day.
