Depends on where you are going as some of the resorts like tignes are a nightmare to drive to further south they are northern resorts are better driving you need to do your research, we have driven quite a few times, in my experience if you are going to drive leave on a Friday early evening get the crossing and then drive for 4 hours and stay in a cheap motorway hotel then drive the next day for the rest of the journey that way you can get to the resort early in Saturday morning and be skiing by midday! You can leave all your stuff in the car even if your accommodation not ready ! You can get more skiing in if you drive ! On the downside you can always pick up good deals for flying around mid to end January so it swing and roundabouts! As for snow on the roads you need snow chains they are compulsory otherwise if you are stopped and checked you won't be allowed to continue not only that if you get caught in bad weather you won't be going anywhere without chains ! You can get cheap chains on the net again you need to research ! On the plus side the roads are always fantastic and clear even if snow is falling it's their business to keep the mountains moving so that's good, plus plus plus fantastic views exciting times !

Re book to sauze you need to do your homework before booking skiing as some places are not what you expect

Sauze D'oulx is fab for short break we do it all the time 45 mins from Turin airport and cheap

Glacier is good for summer skiing
