Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

jony azenhas, that's a very generous budget - you should get a really good apartment for that much money, even in the high season. But unless you like crowded slopes and lift queues it would be best to avoid the peak holiday times of New Year and mid-February to mid-March. Good luck.

After deep thoughts decided to get a apartment for 480 euros in Avoriaz www.homeaway.co.uk/p855190a.
Almost did a booking with user snoozeboy (very approchable person ,Thank you , maybe next year)for his beautiful apartment in Chatel , girlfriend started to complain due to many draglits because we are having beginners couple.....

jony azenhas, you'll have a great time in Avoriaz, a good choice for all abilities. Your girlfriend is right about Chatel....as good as the skiing is, there are a load of drags in the Super Chatel/Morgins, so even as a fairly advanced skier I tend to prefer elsewhere so I get a rest between runs.

Did a little bit of research, and came up to ibis annemasse , would ig be easy to go there if my transfer (alpybus) leaves us in the airport?! Just cross to the french side and from there go to the hotel?! We'll be carrying lugage and snowboards , equipment , etc , etc , so don't want to walk too much.... Cheers...

jony azenhas, you most definitely wouldn't want to walk from Annemasse to Geneva airport, even with no luggage. Ferney Voltaire is the French town by the airport.

You know it makes sense.

jony azenhas, that hotel in Annemasse is 27 kms from the airport.
You could try the "Stars" hotel in Ferney Voltaire. Easy walk from the French side of the airport, though not a very pleasant one.

Ok , i'll have a look :-*
Basically we just have to get into the french sector via the airport and from there get a taxi or walk?!

jony azenhas, the website says it's 10 minutes in a taxi - so you'd have to be very hard up and strong to want to walk it with snowboard gear. The Stars is very close and likely to be cheaper. Not as nice - but it's only for a night, isn't it?
