Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Is Verbier a bit too far?

Verbier is 1hr45 to drive on a clearish day, or 2hr30 by train. Great skiing and has the edge on Cham for infrastructure, but I still prefer Cham Smile

Laughing misread that as needing an altiport for a moment!

It's French speaking - apart from the currency, and swiss prices, I'd often lump it in with actual French resorts around Geneva. All just one big set of mountains really Smile

Chamonix. Nowhere else answers the requirements.

I'm sure it is J2SKI who have a very handy search function on their website. It shows distances and travel times to different resorts from various airports, up to iirc 3hrs (I say various, but have only used the Geneva airport search). There were 6 pages of results incl. France, Switzerland and Italy. It gave km of piste for the resorts and suitability for beginner, intermediate and advanced.
We found it very handy.

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If I had to choose between Verbier and Cham, I would go with Verbs. Just sayin'.

Portes de Soleil, Grand Massif & Megeve are all in the drive time window & all have minibus services such as cham express & altibus, but if it's real hardcore, I'm with the guys above voting for Chamonix. As it's not as well interconnected as some of the others, just make sure you choose your accomodation in teh right part of the valley.

Geneva is just off it to the left (at end of lake).
Portes du Soleil worth considering. There's a great train ride all the way to Champery from Geneva Airport, then you can obviously ski to the french bits on the circuit.
