I think you are wrong about going by car...it really is no hassle ..I also am ...over retirement age..and I am going by car for the 3rd time this season..it really is easy. Also as you are going for 3 months you will need to take a fair amount with you and skis? car is really the sensible option. Also remember shopping ..unless you intend to live in restaurants (expensive) and resort supermarkets ( twice the price of the ones in the valley). With your scenario I might choose Les Gets ..a nice little resort but if you have a car Le Grande Massif and Pras de Lys are only 20 minutes drive ..but have you thought about Italy ..the Sella Ronda offers a vast ski area mostly linked and has good transport within..and offers much cheaper living ..

I think that you would definitely need a car to get the best out of your trip ..and stay somewhere central ...how about Bourg st Maurice a lively small town with reasonable pricing and not far from 4 of the Major resorts..a bit further away from there is L2A and Alpe d'Huez (about a 2 hour drive) and if you want to shift bases ..up to Morrilon where you are on the Flaine circuit( Grand Masif) and a 20 minute drive from the Portes Du Sollaile and Pras du Lys( worth a day or 2 for a change) and about an hour from there is Le Grand Bornand etc
