Answer 1

I am originally from Geneva, but things change, like everywhere.

No year-around ice-skating rink.  Geneva is not located in the Alps.

Snow in Geneva: sometimes no snow at all in Geneva and sometimes too much. Cannot predict the weather. Sorry

Answer 2

Here is an additional set of information Servette forgot to tell you (I don't wonder, that friendly guy nowadays lives in L.A.:-) )

3: Geneva is the most expensive town in the whole of Switzerland!

4: Check this site: http://www.geneve-tourisme.ch/?rubrique=...

Well, I hope some more Romands (the people from the French speaking part of Switzerland that Geneva is part of) read this question and give the still missing info.
