What's the best way to do it? Back to Geneva airport, or is there a more direct route?

Kramer, depending on how you're carrying your kit - only a backpack would work - you could ski over the border into one of the Swiss resorts of the Portes du Soleil (Champery, Morgins, Torgon etc), then transfer to Aigle.
From there it's about 3-4 hours on the train to Wengen via Lausanne, Bern and Interlaken.
Going back to Geneva would take longer and earns a lot fewer Brownie points.

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

From Aigle it might be quicker to go to Visp and through the new Lotschberg tunnel ... but practically yes, back to GVA via Altibus and on to Wengen via the train.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

brian, just curious. Why don't you like DG's concept? Seems practical to me. Not so?

You'll need to Register first of course.

brian - I like that. Yes, you can avoid Bern by taking that Visp route, and change at Spiez for Interlaken. This knocks about 30 mins off the rail journey.

Order in a chopper - that would be the coolest way

achilles, well it's quite a long way with a large and presumably pretty heavy pack. I guess it does save a couple of hours off the journey though. Depends how light you can travel.

brian, guess so. It just struck me as rather cool - sort of a ski-touring feel about it. Mind you, I am seeing Kramer doing it, not me (he's not senile)
