Leysin, Villars etc and the Swiss end of the PdS, Verbier etc are all about the same from there I'd say.

There's some smaller pre-alpes stations, one of my local stations Moléson is fairly close along with the other Fribourg stations La Berra and Charmey all good on good snow days but all very small. Slightly cross country from Metabief though, the autoroute round Lausanne makes more sense towards those Alpes Vaudoise stations and the bas-Valais even like Ovronnaz for example.

The other direction in the Jura you have Ste Croix of course which is supposed to be quite good, never skied there but I did look at a house there once :D
