I looked at one trip I was thinking of taking last year and the skis cost more than me...i will not use them either after a couple of unfriendly flights ...

I am sure he will be fine ..my suggestion is Grand Massif ..several resorts and good skiing and an hour from Geneva as well as hospitals in Annemasse-Bonneville Cluses and
Sallanches

just a note ...book your ski hire before you go as they do charge much more (from the same supplier) in the resort

I was there in Jan ..nice little place .There is a free bus that goes round the village which takes you to the gondola and then there are (or were .I believe they have improved them) 2 chairs up to the top ..not inconvenient at all and ther are nice runs down to the top of the gondola and a nice black back down to the bottom. It all connects up very nicely. The only thing I can say is the little shops in the village are expensive so a car is desirable to get to the hypermarkets,,I enjoyed it there

moutiers to Chamonix ..Chamonix to venice venice to Innsbuck

Daved you are right re cheapest transfer don't care if train, bus or taxi. The £40 transfer from Salzburg you mention is that bus ot taxi?

Bandit, I most likely will go down the chalet route as I am not overly keen on skiing anything too exciting by myself.

Thanks again

You have to go to the resorts web site and do a search ..in this case coach

but that was my starting point when I did it the first time...

Part of the Grand Massif ...the lifts are quite good from there ..2 chairs that connect to the circuit ..and some nice runs back down,,don't know about the rest but I am sure someone else does

Zermatt from Geneva...can i ask why train ...surely you just want the cheapest transfer price..its £60+ for the above but the transfer from Salzburg to Obertuern is about £40
