Frequently Asked Questions about Geneva
Are there nurseries available for looking after my children when I work?
Geneva has excellent childcare facilities running from 7am to 6.30pm. The cost is calculated according to how much you earn. See www.genevefamille.ch for more details.
Which is the best mobile phone provider?
The biggest, covering 99% of the population, is Swiss Mobile (www.swisscom-mobile.ch). Pay-as-you-go cards can easily be bought, although contracts offer better value.
How far away is Geneva from the ski slopes?
Good news - Geneva is considered to be the gateway to the Alps. You can get to the slopes of Verbier – one the very best ski areas in Switzerland – within two hours by train. Chamonix in turn is just one hour away.
