Probably the best bet would be Zermatt. Train from Geneva Airport, change at Visp (I think) and by second train up to Zermatt. Links over to Italy, endless accommodation (chalets, pensiones, hotels) but be prepared to pay premium prices. Perhaps consider taking one of the public coach links to, say, Tignes, Val d'Isere or La Plagne from Geneva airport to these resorst. Don't forget, aim for a high resort as snow could be a bit iffy this early in the season.

I think that you have had some very sensible replies-yes, France/Austria, it's all down to personal choice. Both countries (obviously) have loads to offer in all respects. However, to try and answer your question specifically about France and its prices I would suggest taking a look at La Rosiere. This is a smallish friendly resort but is linked to La Thuile in Italy by connecting lifts. Prices, especially lift passes, tend to be far cheaper than say, Courcheval and Val D'isere (budget for £200 plus per week against about £150 in La Rosiere) and this does carry on into prices for food, drink and accommodation. We stayed there about three years ago and I think that Crystal may go there but we stayed with Ski Beat in a chalet. I have been skiing for over 30 years and the only other French resort I have visited that might fit your budget, although it was about 8 or 9 years ago, would be Montgenevre (also linked with Italy)look it up!

Champoluc/Gressoney (Italy) could fit the bill. Fairly reasonable pricing, excellent intermediate skiing, reasonable boarding and good off piste in the Gressoney/Alagna area. Try Crystal brochure or there is another English based company in Champoluc, can't quite remember the name but something like Ski2?. Goodle Champoluc/skiing and it should come up.

Saas Fee is not cheap-very expensive. If it must be Italy look at Gressoney/ Champoluc, Monterosa area-all excellent value.

En suite with balcony!! Must be champagne welcome followed by a chocolate on your pillow. Do it in style-well done!!

Must be ensuite but you will pay more

Probably (others may well disagree) Madonna di Campiglio, linked with Pinzolo.

Spent a week in Morzine with Alpine Answers about three years ago. Can't remember the name of the chalet but do remember that they had a number of chalets in Morzine and our one was certainly of very good quality. Have a look at their website.
