French Alps - Val Cenis - Summer

[aberose]

I am looking into going to Val Cenis (French Alps) in August.

I would most likely fly from EWR - MXP Milan.

Has anyone been there or to that area in the summer? Any tips or recommendations? Any tips where I can rent a car from and how is driving there?

Has anyone been to the French alps?

There will be a yeshiva camp in Chamrousse.
GVA is closer to Val Cenis than MIL.

I have non stop flights out of EWR.

What dates will the camp be there? How far is it? What camp is it?
Do you know the area?

Looking for info on the French Alps, this seems to be the only thread about it. Anyone went and can tell me what there is to do in the area? Do we need a car or can we rely on public transportation? Will be traveling with 2 little kids.
Thanks

Where in the French alps? There is lots to do if you like outdoors.

DM me any questions you have.

We are also looking into the French Alps.
It seems confusing though.
Getting there from Geneva is a long trip. A train and then a bus, totaling almost 5 hours of travel. You can rent a car or private transfer but we are 9 people so it would cost almost a thousand dollars each way.
The other issue is food.
Where do we get kosher food from? As of now I plan on bringing everything in the suitcase but it's a lot of bring pots, pans, and food for 9 people for a week. Any ideas? Thanks!
