Geneva Airport
Geneva airport is situated very close to the French border and, as such, has terminal's in both Switzerland and France. Always exit on the Swiss side unless you have visa issues which prevent you from entering Switzerland (non EU passengers). This is the most popular airport for transfers to our area due to it's proximity and the varied choice or airlines and routes available. EasyJet offer cheap flights to here from a large number of UK cities.
The best route from Geneva takes you along Lake Annecy which is very picturesque but can have heavy traffic during school holidays. The new motorway link between the airport and Annecy which opened in winter 2009 cut transfer times by 15 minutes without affecting the price.
La Rosiere
La Rosiere is generally regarded as a family
resort with many intermediate runs. It is linked by ski lifts with
La Thuile over the border in Italy. Whilst a relatively small area
it does have some excellent off piste which can remain untracked for
days after a snow fall, and a terrain park. The
town itself at 1850 metres has some amazing views south down the valley
towards Moutiers and east towards Val D'Isere and is actually situated
on the Col de Petit St. Bernard. If you are driving out don't get
fooled by your route finder though as this road is only open in the
summer!
