Getting here
Here's a list of low cost carriers serving Geneva, Chambery, St Etienne and Lyon in France as well as Turin and Bergamo in Switzerland which are all within driving range. Note that many of the low cost carriers use the "Hub and Spoke" system and if your local airport is a spoke in their hub, you can do a hop, taking two flights to Geneva. It can work out very good value especially with Easyjet and Ryanair. Always read the company's policy on connecting flights and make sure you leave enough time between flights to cope with weather delays.
