Geneva (Genève)

Genève is one of the most popular entry points to ski Europe. Geneva airport (GVA) is convenient for skiing the Swiss & French Alps, plus the Valle d'Aosta in Italy.

More info on Geneva is coming soon - we have been a tad slack in writing up this page, but skiing is more importanterer(!), don't you think?
