Like an extra in the film
High Fidelity,
you need to ask the dude in the music shop about
the rooms above. Which are simple, but there's a handy TV-room and kitchen area with
washing machine. Out of season, BYO sleeping bag for reduced prices (Ikr4900 per per-
son).

High above the town, near the avalanche barriers (worth a visit for the great views). It's

bedrooms (sleeping up to eight), full kitchen, balcony (those views!), and custom-made
furniture - you may be persuaded to move in. In the pipeline: standard rooms.
