We did Courmayeur out of Geneva. Much cheaper than French resorts and only a few miles over the border. Decent for beginners although not a huge resort but will do for a week or so. Italy so the food and booze is cracking.
Skiing in and around Geneva in January

Od advise looking into flying into Turin
I'd do Sestriere if I was going to Turin.

But Genève is a lively city and Lac Leman is to die for. Worked there inLausanne, Morges,Vevey and other little lakeside towns. Evian on the French side is lovely too.

I go to Morzine most years from Geneva, last year snow was great but the previous it's been hit and miss. I can get discount on a catered chalet if your interested. (Morzine is an hour away)

Go to Austria, no french bastards and much cheaper. Additional bonus of the airport not being utter chod, took 2hrs to check in last time we went to Geneva.
Salzburg is the way forward
Most overpriced shithole on the planet, just happens to be on a nice lake. Utterly hate Geneva, even a mcdonald's is a tenner or more and forget about eating at a somewhat decent restaurant

Each to their own.
Advice will be taken. Thanks.
I live in the Perigord in a holiday town which is inundated my middle class, middled aged British visitors in the summer.
Probably best if I decline to share my views (and the views of my neighbours) on the behavior of those visitors.

Twaddle. Open your eyes and look around. MacDonalds? FFS? Sounds as though you got what you deserved.

Austria IS much better than France for skiing, but his french wife wants to go to her homeland.

Salzburg / Chambery (sp) are risky as they closed a lot
I tried. Apparently she misses skiing and it's my fault as she moved here for me. I showed her the website for silky slope but nee joy
i think once you've been on the real piste, you may understand why.....btw plenty of good shouts on here, im sure you will have great time

Eeee so does mine. In fact I'm in chantilly on my way to the boulangerie now.
For skiing go high at that time of the year. I like alpe d'huez but transfer time can be a shit.

Two sets of cousins plus one uncle have retired/semi-retired a few miles due West of you. Not sure if their various houses (one of them fixes them up for a living) are in Charente or Charente-Maritime.Each to their own.
