We normally fly into Geneva, with an early flight. If we have hired a car, we can be in resort for lunchtime, it's around a two and a half hour drive.

Rose, it really depends on your arrival airport. For example, most winters charter aircraft fly into Sion in Valais offering a very short transfer time. Within an hour you could collect your bags and be in a resort such as Nendaz, or Crans Montana.
If you want a package, Inghams are one travel op that uses Sion. The downside of a little airport which is sqeezed onto a bit of the Rhone Valley between two mountain ranges...well the Swiss have been building wind turbines at the end of Lac Leman :mrgreen:

Thank you.

Er, the whole Massif is known as The Northern Alps. The Southern Alps contains resorts like Les Deux Alpes.

It's not your fault, really.

It's a very well known European resort in the Northern Alps.
