Hi

Late reply but you can do Switzerland on a budget if you don't go on peak weeks, you could look at Les Collons or Veysonnaz they are on the large 4 Vallées ski area connected to Verbier, so you are skiing the same snow provided you buy the 4 Vallées pass not the Printz pass (which is still a good option). If you would like to know more I live here so could help you out.

Food costs here in Les Collons Pizza at La Luge is 16chf, wine 3.50chf not too expensive.

This will make one of the best access points directly into the 4 Vallées ski system. Also only 7 mins drive from my house :) :) :)

Hi

I will ask my friend who works for Salomon, what sort of riding do you do?

From what I understand they are trying to regulate the amount of traffic coming to and from the airport. In the past there has been a specific collection place for others collecting but don't know what is happening this year.

There are some things to consider the Swiss taxi drivers pay the airport for collecting at the front of the terminal and all have the correct commercial driving licences and are properly insured to carry paying passengers and paying Swiss taxes.

I am not saying anything is right or wrong, this is just another opinion.

Hi

You could try Les Collons/Thyon, this is the first week of our season normally. If you like I can check with our local tourist office to confirm for you?.

It's just 1 hour 45 mins drive from Geneva, I have lived locally for over 5 years so please feel free to pick my brains on anything.

Have a good weekend

Best wishes Helen
