Flying to Ski Resort in France

I was wondering if anyone could offer a few words of advice...

A friend of mine has been suggesting that 4-6 of us take a light aircraft (hope he's paying most of the costs) to a ski resort in the South East of France for a few days. We're all based in Southern England.

I'm the one with the licence (JAA CPL/IR and FAA CPL/IR), but haven't flown in France for a long long time! And although I've flown long distance flights and a few ferries, basically it's been a while and I'm pretty inexperienced...

I'm doing some research (obviously this isn't going to be cheap), but I would be grateful if anyone could offer any words of advice on an aircraft that might be suitable (available) for such a trip (we're not taking much luggage), flying in France in general and also any top tips on landing on short, sloped, snow covered runways? Thanks for your help.
