Choosing Your Geneva Ski Resort

Tourists first arriving in Switzerland and planning to engage in winter sports will find themselves spoiled for choice with the city’s offer of resorts. Geneva airport ski transfers can take snow enthusiasts to a number of top-quality locations in and around the city, where they may indulge in their hobby to their heart’s content.Choosing the best resort for youBut how do you know which is the best resort for you? Well, you could go with simple personal preference or take a more scientific approach and actually compare the characteristics of each resort in order to reach a decision.Take, for example, distance. If you want your Geneva airport ski transfers to be as brief as possible so you can get to ski right away, you may want to go with one of the three or four resorts located under an hour’s drive from the city. If you don’t mind sitting in a car for a bit longer, a number of other resorts can be reached in around an hour and a half, on the fastest Geneva airport ski transfers. If you happen to be driving yourself and in no particular hurry, these are also excellent chances to take in the snowy landscapes of the Swiss countryside, so a slightly longer journey may not be that much of a problem.Another deciding factor when choosing a resort in the region could be its features. If you are the type of skier who is fine with a smaller selection of slopes (as long as you get to enjoy them!), Les Houches or Le Grand Bomand will be perfectly adequate for your needs. If, on the other hand, you enjoy having an open expanse to glide around, resorts like Saint Gervais (235km) or Megeve (which offers a whopping 325km of skiing area) might be more your cup of tea. Similarly, if you are okay with more modest slopes, Samoen, Saint Gervais or Morzine may suffice, but if you want higher altitudes you should probably aim for somewhere like Les Houches or Chamonix, both of which top the 3000m mark.Another aspect to bear in mind when choosing where to have your Geneva airport ski transfers drop you off is price. Naturally, more modest resorts such as Le Grand Bormand or Les Gets will charge you slightly less than somewhere like Chamonix, but ultimately you may find that the price-offer ratio is better in slightly more expensive resorts. Again, it ultimately boils down to what exactly you are after.Despite the variety of slopes on offer, then, it is not that hard to choose where to book Geneva airport ski transfers – as long as you give it a bit of thought in advance!
