Hi everyone!

I`m going on a trip to Europe on november 25th and will probably stay until december 8th or around that, not further, unfortunately. I`d like to know whether there is a good chance of an open place near Geneva that I could go to within minutes or a little over an hour of distance. I thought of Val Thorens, but chamonix would be the closest as I saw on the maps (if I`m not wront).

So I have a couple of other questions:

When do they usually open?
Are there green runs at that time (beginners are going with me)?

Any information will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Verbier would be a decent option from Geneva. Chamonix will not be open for another 2 weeks and definitely no beginners area available at that time of year.

the nearest are the Jura resorts...Les Rousses / La Dole..only small and look great for beginners but I don't know when they open and they are quite low...how about the Aravis (Clusaz /Le Grande Bornande)...don't know when they open though

Val Thorens will be open .... Tignes too I believe.
