 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've boked flights to Geneva from next Thursday returnng on Sunday. The wife and I would like to go to a resort that isn't overun with families (half-term will be difficult I know) and about 1-1.5 hours from Geneva.
Any ideas?

Jumping Jack Flash, there isn't one, sorry. They'll all be rammed. You could find it difficult to get accommodation for the weekend in any of the resorts, but if you were to stay somewhere like Sallanches you are in easy reach of Chamonix, Flaine, Megeve, Les Contamines, Combloux....

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

La Grave? You'd need to be keen on off-piste, though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Isn't La Grave somewhere down south - more than 1 - 1.5 hours from Geneva? I suspect that a small Swiss resort might be the answer, but I don't know anything about the Swiss resorts.

Yup. But I can't think of anywhere closer that won't have many kids. I don't think the small Swiss resorts near Geneva will help. They'll be full of Swiss families, for starters.

Jumping Jack Flash, Given what the weather forecast is looking like I think my choice would be between Nendaz ... to get as high as possible in 4 vallees or one of the 'villages' which access Glacier3000, so I would probably chose Les Diablerets or Gsteig to stay .... Both just over 2 hours from Geneva though ...

I don't know when the Swiss school hols are. If they're not happening then, Switzerland would be fine. Agenterre's suggestions sound good.

The Swiss, like the Austrians, stagger their hols. Pretty much the whole of February is a write-off if you want to avoid children.
