Geneva International Airport
Geneva is the most conveniently situated airport for the Haute Savoie resorts such as Chamonix, Morzine and Avoriaz; there are also good transport links to the 3 Vallées and Tarentaise resorts. Although there are much closer airports to the Southern Alps, such as Grenoble and Chambéry, Geneva has a greater number of flights to/from more destinations so you may consider it as an alternative if you don't mind a long drive once you've landed. It is worth noting that Geneva Airport is split in two - French and Swiss. Bizarrely it can be much easier to find your way onto the French motorway from the Swiss side of the airport, so you should bear this in mind when hiring a car. ...more
Grenoble Airport
Grenoble airport is centrally located in the Rhône-Alpes and provides access to many of the major French ski resorts; it is most handy for the Southern Alps resorts of Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes, which can be reached by car in around 1h45. Flights from other airports are often diverted to Grenoble as it rarely suffers from poor weather conditions. ...more

The Southern Alps resorts are also accessible and will take around three hours to reach Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez. For those heading to the The Valleys and the Tarantaise ski regions, you are looking at a four to five hour transfer time. ...more
