EasyJet do Munich from Edinburgh. Think they also do Geneva from both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Jet2 do a few places including Salzburg.
I go to Austria for every trip and often use the Tui flight from Edinburgh to Innsbruck.
Pretty sure you’ll get loads of choice from Geneva, eg morzine, chamonix etc. Mayrhofen a good shout from Munich.

@LHC, we do the opposite, i.e. fly from Geneva to Scotland about 7-8 times a year.
Easy EDI-GVA I believe the best connection. MUC less frequent on a daily basis depending on month.
GLA- anywhere direct I think Sats or weekends only.
And be careful on timings, they are not always marvellous... for short trips anyway.
And as for where once you get to the airport check out j2ski.com, they have lists.

https://www.skyscanner.net usually highlights for me where there are cheap direct flights from Scotland. Often though the cheapest are not direct are require a 24 hour flight via London, or Amsterdam. (although they are not ideal, they are often the only available flights at certain times)
What many people do not consider in their travel itinery, is the costs of getting to your local airport at the flight times required. You can often get a cheap flight, and transfer to a ski resort for £100-£200 from Scotland. However, for people who do not live close to the airports or in Edinburgh or Glasgow then getting to the airport at the times required for such cheap flights can cost in excess of the total flight and transfer cost. (or be extraordinarily inconvenient in terms of time taken and public transfer switch delays)

@LHC, I do a few (4 or 5) weekends away each year , get the 17.50 easyJet from Edinburgh to Geneva, gets me into pub for last beer, ski Saturday Sunday and Monday morning flying back on 17.00.
Geneva gives you access to multiple resorts within 90 minuets drive

@robboj, the Tui flights to Innsbruck the last couple of years and gla Salzburg have been excellent - lunchtime flight on way out but leaves Austria early evening which means you can squeeze in a ski till 1 ish on the Saturday 😀
Doesn’t help the op right enough as they are not looking for sat to sat flights.

it's edi gva for me Clive. three flights a day on Saturdays, and I think at least two the other days. swiss rental cars all have winter tyres so no stress there and pds is less than two hours away. Get the 06.30 and you can be skiing that afternoon

As above Edi- Geneva gives you tons of resort options and the flight prices are usually very good.
I've also used Edi-Milan for short trips, loads of choice in Aosta valley and accommodation there easy to come by and v good value- skiing also beautiful!
