Word back from the hostel director, we would have all the rooms except
one ( 1 fireplace room to be used for other guests) for free.

You (local team) has said plenty of time Switzerland is very secure, so I
don't know why this wouldn't apply to this hostel too ;)
When you have the rooms for yourself you can have them accessible 24/7 and
close them too (as we have done in previous years).
As I told you by IRC, Didier, I know somebody who worked there in a previous
winter season and I was told the staff was great.

Read above. As note, you didn't bother either to ask this in your mail.

Well, you told me this clearly by IRC:
16:11 <OdyX> I don't really care in fact.
16:11 <OdyX> We go to LeCamp, so I don't care.
The internet is also for free and for the moment what they have is a 10Mbps
line.
I'm sorry for not sending this before, I had real life stuff. I still want
to send it so I can point to it people in the future when they say le camp
was our only possible venue.
