tonsky, define "near". May help you get some more valuable advice.

Anything with a train connection would be fab

tonsky, could you hire a car? Not too many places reachable by train from chambery, I suspect. And what are your dates?
Would you consider staying somewhere like Albertville (very swift from Chambery) then driving? Finding accommodation for odd days in resort might be a bit of a challenge at New Year.

You'll need to Register first of course.

IIRC Tignes is around 1.5 hours, if you're thinking of hiring a car. Alternatively Bourg St Maurice may be a more likely place to find a couple of days accommodation at that time of year and its closer. You then have the option of the funicular up to Les Arcs 1600 in about 7/8 minutes, I think.

OK, next question. What sort of skiing/resort do you like?

tonsky, Chambery does not have a good record if fog low cloud or snow are forecast. The approach is hazardous and the other end of the runway is a lake!
Pilots have to do simulator training followed by supervised landings before they get their cert to fly into Chambery.
In short there is a strong possibility your flight will get transferred to Grenoble Lyon or even Geneva. So best have a contingency plan. Check if the airline will bus you back to Chambery if the worst happens.
