Just looking to book flights to Geneva next season with a view to booking accommodation nearer the time, what is the preferred changeover day for chalet owners?

I think Saturday still more common changeover day but plenty offer Sundays too. What time of year are you planning to go? Any idea where?
Sunday has advantages, eg quieter roads, quiet pistes on Saturday. Disadvantage is if you have to go straight back to work on Monday morning!

Generally Sat-Sat is standard. Sun-Sun exists. Increasing flexibility increasing.

@Gregd, if you are driving into a resort, Sunday is better on the roads.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sunday to Sunday accommodation is limited to mostly a few British operated chalets (and the occasional hotel may accommodate you) but transfer times, Geneva to resort, are likely to be quicker.

@CaravanSkier, good point, French accommodation much likelier to be strict Sat-Sat.

I think Tour Ops and French Owned tend to be Saturday to Saturday and "Private British Chalet Owner/Operators" tend to be Sunday to Sunday as it's slightly quieter.

Saturday to Saturday will generally give you much more choice of accommodation than Sunday to Sunday and lessons tend to be Sunday to Friday meaning that you may miss the first day of group lessons.
