So i think the 3 possibilities are:

1) U2 VCE - GVA=65 EUR and pretty on time everytime: http://www.flightstats.com/go/Flight...irportCode=GVA __Fastest, mid-price compared, risk 40%(?!)

2) 2 x LH=88EUR with 4h connection time gap in Germany (not guarantee, because separate bookings) but with LH netowork possibilities in case of cancellations; furthermore mileage earning on M&M! __mid-fast, mid-price compared, connection, risk 40% ?!

3) Venice-Geneva Central Station= 29 EUR + Geneva Central St. - GVA (=bus or train 2 EUR) __slow, no stops, low price compared, risk 50% ?!

4)Venice-Milano Centrale Station + Milano Centrale Station - Geneva + Geneva Central St. - GVA= 28EUR + 2 EUR bus
and I should arrive in Geneva at 4pm, so 18h gap about !!
(New one i've found) __slow, change, lowest price compared, risk 30% (many connections possibilities in Milan)

but about the train service: high risk of strikes+high delays in case of snow!

which?!
Finally, i think i will choose the option n. 4!Slower, but safer..
