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 :-)

HMMM Geneva to ??

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Afternoon snowheads

I have managed to find some good flights into Geneva for Christmas week landing early Sat22nd and flying out late on the 31st

Anyway I want to do a week in a resort and was after a bit of advise? My criteria is:

Easy to get to, preferable some type of ski bus to resort from Geneva as I don't want to hire a car (just myself and my G/F)

I have skied France for the last 7-8 trips so I want to stay in Switzerland

we are both red run skiers and mostly on-piste

I was thinking of Zermatt, Verbier, anyone with any other suggestions??

If anyone can recommend any decent self-catering accommodation, for 2 people (feel free to pimp me)

Cheers for any help

We stayed with these guys in Zermatt

We wanted the teeny little hut but it was booked, so we had the Favorita instead. Very nice for the money - not *masses* of character but everything was sparkling clean, comfy beds and the view from the balcony was gorgeous. Nice people too.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ajbaldwin, possibly Wengen, however wherever you go in Switzerland you may want to go by train, very handy from Geneva and you can get anywhere in Switzerland and back with a transfer ticket that costs about £55 from the Swiss Travel Center

ajbaldwin, Hi - have heard good reports of this accommodation http://www.zermattvacations.com/apartments/apartments.php although no personal experience

Would also back the comments about the train from Geneva aiport. Absolute doddle - very reliable, clean, fast trains - just what you'd expect in Switzerland Very Happy

ajbaldwin,
All Swiss resorts you should be able to get to by a combination of train and post bus at a reasonable price but for some the travelling time may be a bit long.
All resorts mentioned sound pretty good. I think Zermatt is great. If you are finding prices high we found Nendaz significantly cheaper for accommodation than Verbier and it serves much the same skiing.
