Have a look at flying to Milan and skiing Champoluc, very good for short breaks done that twice, excellent area.

Try looking at snow secrets for the accommodation.

The Hotel Campoluc is at the bottom of the run back into the village so you can be on the lift in minutes in the morning, worth checking out if you can book direct with the hotel.

Also Ski2 specialise in champoluc, again worth comparing but they tend to feel a bit more expensive but service from them was excellent there may be deals to be had with them too, plus transfer is included with them, ski pass and lunch vouchers and they will ferry you around the village if needed plus their own ski hire is very reasonable and free ski deposit at the lift.

Tc, would you agree Champoluc a better base than Alagna?
I recall a very high gondola to link the areas, which when open was amazing, but skiing at Alagna itself without link was limited to lower Alagna slopes. The viz was very poor on days 2 and 3 unfortunately.
Stunning ski area though.

Yes to Geneva flights, but why Samoens? Les Carroz is a shorter transfer and easier access to Flaine if snow is dodgy or problems with links. Have a look at http://manxski.com - we're just 45 mins from the airport, a major factor in weekend breaks

Well, yeah, good point but Gareth asked for experiences of others so I just gave mine.
Les Carroz would be a great shout am sure. Same ski area - in fact LC is my fave part of Grand Massif to ski. I've just never stayed there.
:)

Your place looks great by the way.

Am I right in saying your chalet is 45 mins from Geneva? Do you do transfers?

OK, now I do have a question. What do you consider a weekend?

We do short breaks (2 night minimum) whether across the weekend or midweek - fully flexible! Just replied to an inquiry out of this thread, if that was not you, then why not get in touch?
