Second Verbier. Great skiing and nice village. Easy to get to from Geneva. By train if you wish.
Chamonix is great also, but more disjointed systems that require going down and taking a bus to switch between some of the areas.

Well…new 488 showing up at Geneva too. Will be interesting to see how much press each car gets.

I wonder how the 488 will impact potential RS sales ?

The price spread in the US has to be more than $100K and in my opinion the cars don't really overlap in style or intent either.

So far we have for Geneva:
GT3 RS
New R8
Mclaren P1 GTR
Mclaren 675LT (650S street/track version)
488
Maybe Cayman GT4 (I speculate it'll be later)

2015 is clearly the best car year we've had for a while...

And if you need an AWD grocery getter that is faster and cheaper than a Subaru STI or Golf R, there is this from Ford (built in Germany) in Geneva:
