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 :-)

Tignes sounds better from this point of view but there are an awful lot of other resorts within easy distance of Geneva that would suit as well or better.
Main problem with Tignes is if the weather is bad there are very few sheltered runs.

@carioca90, wait until January to decide. Then you can choose which has best snow. Also you would get a good price.

Tignes. Unless you have your own transport.

Tignes is not "next to Geneva", it's a 4 hour journey, can be worse if the traffic is heavy and if that is a reason for choosing then there are many resorts that are closer. I don't think either resort you've suggested is particularly good for "beginner - intermediary" if the emphasis is on beginner but Tignes would be the better of the two.

Love Chamonix but a pain unless you have own transport or a chalet that drops you off/picks you up. Clubmed a good option for this resort.

Love Tignes as all the skiing your hearts desire. Little cold and austere in January with not massive tree skiing. Val D'isere maybe a better option then.

Close to Geneva - Portes del soleil or Grand massif. Both good skiing and plenty of tree skiing. If you are coming all the way from Chile combine a week in two if you are over for a fortnight.

What about Saas Fee? More picturesque than Tignes. Glacier to guarantee snow and they're doing a season lift pass for 222chf!

@carioca90, i can't believe Morzine or Les Carroz in the Grand Massif don't have as good prices. It's possibly a little early to be looking as many family run hotels won't even have thought about pricing for next year.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:
@carioca90, how many people will you be, and what sort of accommodation do you want - hotel, chalet, or self-catering?

There are lots of options in the Grand Massif at all sorts of prices, and it is less than an hour from Geneva to most of them. If you want to experience a proper French village then Les Carroz, Samoens and Morillon all work, and all have tree-lined runs which is important if it snows (likely in January). Flaine is also in the Grand Massif, it is higher but it is not a proper village and doen't have that many tree-lined runs, so not as nice in bad weather. All the resorts are linked for skiing.

Neither of those resorts is known for being especially cheap and if you have concluded that they are, sorry but I'd question how much research you have done.

Neither Tignes nor Cham ideal imho for a beginner/int on their own... all else being equal.

@carioca90, Courmayeur is OK but much smaller ski area than Chamonix or Tignes.

@carioca90, UCPA is a French action holiday/youth hostel idea. It seems well run and if you were on your own, would seem to be good fun to be social - and very well priced.

I would book flights (all the options discussed so far are accessible from Geneva) and leave accommodation to later when all options are available.
