Le Grand-Bornand
The Village Station
An authentic ski resort in the heart of the Aravis
Nestled in the Aravis Mountains in Haute-Savoie, Le Grand-Bornand perfectly embodies the blend of Savoyard tradition and modern Alpine style. This family-friendly ski resort, situated at an altitude of between 1,000 and 2,100 meters, offers an exceptional setting for mountain lovers, both in summer and winter.
An exceptional ski resort
With over 90 kilometers of trails, Le Grand-Bornand is THE place to be for unmissable experiences! Located at the junction of the Bouchet and Chinaillon valleys, with Mont Lachat at its heart, the resort offers spectacular views and a variety of terrain suitable for all skill levels.
Le Grand-Bornand is also renowned for its world-class cross-country skiing area, a training ground for Olympic biathlon champions, who benefit from world-class facilities in a pristine natural setting.
A year-round destination
Beyond skiing, Le Grand-Bornand reveals itself in summer as a must-visit mountain destination. Hiking, mountain biking, outdoor activities, and exploring the local heritage make up a rich program for summer vacationers.
Accessibility and prime location
Ideally located between Lake Annecy and Lake Geneva, close to Switzerland and Mont Blanc, the resort is exceptionally easy to reach. Whether by car, train, or plane, Le Grand-Bornand is easily accessible, with direct connections from Annecy and Geneva.
