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 leading telecoms provider in Switzerland is Swisscom, and it tends to offer the best network coverage. Pay-as-you-go cards can easily be bought, although contracts offer better value. Orange is the closest telecoms competitor, and then Sunrise has the worst coverage, but the cheapest plans.
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, and Chamonix in turn is just one hour away.
