Hi Steven,

I think Avoriaz is a nice place. You could park down at the parking les Prodains from where you can take the cable car to go up to the resort (and take it on the way down of course) or drive up to the parking de la Chapelle and walk few minutes to reach the resorts center where you have plenty of bars, restaurants, shops and even green slopes where kids can sledge. 1h15 of drive to the parking les Prodains and the price for the ski pass is a good deal for this big sized resort.

Thanks, good idea, just a shame they're unlikely to let her on the lift at Prodains as otherwise it's quite a long drive all the way up to Avoriaz for the day. You've made me think about Les Gets though.

Why not going to Col de la Faucille in the Jura ?  there are a couple of shops and restaurants where u start skiing. It is very easy driving from Geneva

Sorry I might have used the wrong word, by cable car I meant the huge cabine for 150 people... Were you could even take the stroller.

Maria C is right. The restaurants/bars are right at the base near the chair lifts in Col De La Faucille. Crozet also has a few hotels/restaurants before the Telecabine. Also a 20 min drive from Geneva. Both resorts belong to the Jura

Go to Sommand. It's 50 minutes from Geneva, it has all the features you are interested to and you can hardly find a better place with a baby.

Joining in order to get some info as well :)

Megeve is good for Restaruants that are close to the lifts.

Very close is La Faucille (30min) or even Crozet (15min from Geneva)

Crozet difference is you take the lift up and there is restaurant just as you get out. So she can ski, you enjoy the food, beer, sun, baby. I think a lift tix is like € 8 and ski tick are about €24-€30

Go to Jura. Col de la Faucille or Crozet. 

I go to Crozet often with my kid: just 30 min way from Geneva. Parking real close to the slope (unless you come at the end of the day, when all the good parking is gone). You take a gondola lift up (it's closed and with benches, with 4 people per gondola, so no probs to bring a baby), and then you're right on the kids slopes. Restaurant is right there too. 

LA Clusaz is a a family ski area just 45min from Geneva

I recommend Col de la Faucille too.  I take my two toddlers there for snow play and the toboggan run and there are a couple of places to eat and wait around.  Drive is easy with chains rarely required, about half an hour from Geneva.
