Where to stay
Same logic as Le Grand-Bornand: demand across both villages will far exceed supply. Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, halfway between, lets you cover both venues from one base.
Worth noting: Le Grand-Bornand also hosts events in the same valley. A well-chosen base lets you cover several venues from one place.
The resort for the rest of the winter
La Clusaz combines 125 km of alpine piste with a respected nordic area on the Confins plateau. It is among the easiest resorts to reach from Geneva.
Partner link
