Hi, Claudia, <BR>Getting to the snow will depend on the time of year. Annecy is at a low elevation compared to the mountains around, so you may need to get into the hills in order to get to snow, higher and higher as the year progresses. <BR>Can't help with "cheap" hotels, but recommend the Ibis near the old town for a reasonable one, well-located. http://www.hotelweb.fr/HOTELWEB/index.htm

go to Chamonix and take the cable cars to the top. It is an easy excursion from Annecy if you have a car. <BR> <BR>I second the recommendation of the IBIS centre ville location. <BR>Ellen

When we were in Annecy this past summer we stayed at the Hotel du Palais de L'Isle. I think we paid about 70 USD per night. It is located in the heart of the old town area. The rooms were furnished in a contemporary style and ours was quite comfortable but by no means lavish.

I agree that Chamonix is your best <BR>bet for seeing snow. We stayed at <BR>Hotel Du Lac, on the lake in Duingt, about 7 miles from Annecy. Very nice, <BR>breakfast included. The website is <BR>hoteldulac.com <BR>We loved the area.
