Get to know Le Grand Bornand Ski Resort

Le Grand Bornand, tucked away in the Aravis mountains of the French Alps, is a gem of a resort about 30km from Annecy and 70km from Chamonix. It’s easy to reach from Geneva Airport, making it a hit with international visitors. This place has been around for ages – the oldest chalet dates back to 1664! Once upon a time, it was all about farming here. But since the mid-20th century, skiing has taken centre stage. They’ve even produced some Olympic stars, including a gold medallist in biathlon.

Skiers flock to Le Grand Bornand for its 90km of varied runs that cater to everyone from newbies to pros. Thanks to its lucky location, it gets great snow all season long. What really sets it apart, though, is its authentic charm. With over 400 traditional wooden chalets, it’s like stepping into a postcard of Alpine life. The resort’s “Famille Plus” stamp of approval makes it a top pick for family ski trips.

Skiing and activities in Le Grand Bornand

Le Grand Bornand is a traditional French resort that boasts 90 km of varied pistes suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced skiers. Off the slopes, the village buzzes with activity, featuring an ice rink, local markets, and cultural attractions like the Maison de Patrimoine museum. Families are well catered for with dedicated sledding areas, ski schools for children, and a range of non-ski activities. The resort’s aprés-ski scene, while more low-key than some larger resorts, provides a warm atmosphere with local bars and restaurants serving regional specialities. Whether you’re seeking winter sports, family fun, or a taste of authentic mountain life, Le Grand Bornand delivers a well-rounded alpine holiday experience.

The ski area spans from Le Grand Bornand Village (1,000 m) to Chinaillon (1,300 m), reaching a peak at Mont Lachat (2,100 m). Mont Lachat features a dedicated freeride area for adventurous skiers. Beginners can enjoy gentle slopes above Chinaillon and easy runs near the La Joyère gondola. For freestyle enthusiasts, the resort boasts one of France’s top 5 snowparks. The area benefits from a favourable microclimate, ensuring good snow conditions throughout the season. Le Grand Bornand is part of the larger Les Aravis ski area, connecting to nearby resorts and offering access to a total of 230 km of slopes for those seeking more variety.

Le Grand Bornand offers plenty of snowy activities beyond skiing. If you’re looking to explore at a slower pace, try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing with the local Cross-Country Ski and Snowshoeing School. They offer guided tours and lessons to help you get started. For some downhill fun without skis, head to the sledding and tubing runs at the top of the Rosay gondola. The village also has an outdoor ice rink if you fancy a spin on the ice.

Thrill-seekers can book snowmobiling tours for an exciting ride through the winter landscape. For something truly unique, give ski joëring a go – it’s skiing while being pulled by a horse. And if you want a bird’s eye view of the mountains, tandem paragliding flights are available too. These activities add variety to your winter holiday and give you different ways to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Things to do in Le Grand Bornand village

Relax at Les Granges du Lac Spa or Spa des Cimes, both offering massages and wellness treatments. Immerse yourself in local culture at the Maison de Patrimoine museum or browse the vibrant Wednesday morning market for regional specialties.
