we have been skiing a couple of times before but are still novices.
does anyone know what the area is like in bellevaux any hints or tips ect.
at the moment i am trying to find some transfers but for some reason it is either very expensive or the companies dont go there is there a particular reason why?
any advice will be gratefully recieved

I've only been to Hirmentaz in the summer so I can't tell you anything about the skiing. The reason you can't find any transfers apart from very expensive taxi transfers is because it's a small resort with only 15 lifts and 50km pistes which mainly attracts French families. The only inexpensive way to get there would be by public transport: there are buses from Geneva (Gare Routière) to Thonon-les-Bains and from there to Bellevaux. You could also ask one of the transfer companies that take people to the resorts in the Portes du Soleil to drop you off in Thonon, which would save you having to get from the airport to the bus station.
