Portes Du Soliel! Help appreciated :)

Hi all!

I am heading to Switzerland in January was planning to spend the week of the 30th of Jan till the 3rd of Feb at Portes Du Soliel and really need some help!

I am on somewhat of a budget and need to stay somewhere such as a backpackers or youth hostel! Could someone please recommend me somewhere that is both cheap and that has great access to the slopes?

I am a snowboarder and would classify myself as average skilled. I really enjoy long and scenic runs where I can just casually cruise and enjoy the view!

I was also wondering if someone could explain to me how easy it is to get around? is it clearly marked? (the runs). I love the idea of skiing across borders as it is certainly something I cannot do here in New Zealand!

I do not mind where I stay (in CH or France!) so would love any recommendations or tips you guys could give me

Cheers!
