@MorningGory, If your right, that narrows it down a bit!

Is it in the small snow park under the Comici 1 Chair in the Val Gardena?

MorningGory looks to be correct
CP very precise!
Same car from the other side ? (Snow and Funpark Val Gardena Piz Sella )

Yep. I believe that's correct! Was there in Jan and looks spot on.

What would definella say?
Long shadows so probably late afternoon with camera looking North.
Lots of trees about so relatively low.
Big queue for a Poma so quite a popular resort.
Bubble overhead so a base station lower down.
Opposite bank remarkably near - and snow covered suggesting early season.
.....not a clue!

@altis, thanks for doing the groundwork! Based on your detective skills... Valloire?

@denfinella, not Valloire
Clue: You would fly to Geneva to be closest to this ski area.

The Plateau drag lift at Samoens has a matching layout, correct aspect and near Geneva

Whoops, I guessed Valloire because it was west facing, but I got my angles wrong. If it's indeed early season and during the afternoon (which I'm inclined to believe is correct), the sun should be in the southwest, so the shadows are pointing northeast and the slopes are therefore facing roughly north.
So which French resorts with gondolas are near to Geneva? In the PdS: Chatel, Les Gets, Avoriaz and La Chapelle face the wrong direction, and Abondance doesn't have a drag lift in the right place. Morzine or St Jean d'Aulps, maybe. Megeve probably has the wrong type of gondolas. Les Houches, Les Contamines and La Clusaz don't seem to have a matching drag lift. Chamonix, Flaine and Les Carroz face the wrong direction. Morillon or Samoens… maybe. The background is wrong for Thonon.
Bascially… I've no idea Samoens probably shades it (but already been guessed).

Another clue required then: You would not use the Autoroute Blanche ( A40 ) to access this ski area usually.

@altis, Spot on - Crozet/Lelex. The gondola line up from Crozet can be seen quite clearly from the airport. I think the poma in the photo has been replaced with a chair lift ( Logos ) now.

Don't know why it didn't occur to me before. The background looks distinctly Jura.
I'll have a rummage for a photo....
