Le Grand-Bornand

Le Grand Bornand, the most beautiful of ‘‘Land Art’’

Take time exploring Le Grand-Bornand, an Alpine resort you’ll fall in love with!

Both a traditional village…

Le Grand-Bornand, set midway between Switzerland and the Mont Blanc and Lakes Geneva and Annecy, in the heart of the county of Haute-Savoie and the area of the Annecy Mountains, is first and foremost a village that’s lively year-round. It has so many aspects to it, being both timeless and of its time and a resort dedicated to leisure pursuits, where all sorts of discoveries are possible. For instance, after a great day’s skiing in winter or a fine hike in summer, explore the lovely places scattered along the village’s secretive lanes, including artists’ studios, boutiques and cosy chalets. More than ever now, Le Grand-Bornand invites visitors to come and share simple, convivial pleasures and experiences, rediscovering the pace of the past!

…and a resort with a great international reputation

Proud of its unspoilt environment and of being the leading area for the production of traditionally made Reblochon fermier cheese, Le Grand-Bornand has maintained a way of life that combines the traditional and the pioneering, to such an extent that it has become one of France’s top mountain destinations. Alongside its 400 chalets dating back two centuries, you’ll find leisure facilities worthy of the largest international ski resorts. The easy mix of cultures features lively dairy farming traditions, the farms passed down from father to son, or daughter, alongside elegantly, discreetly contemporary places. This characterful resort combines enduring traditions with a decidedly sporty side. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Aravis, the place is distinctly original and remarkable, with so much to offer and to share…
