Skiing in Le Grand Bornand
General information
In the heart of Haute-Savoie, nestled between the sparkling Lake Annecy and the majestic Mont Blanc, lies Le Grand Bornand – a ski resort full of authentic Savoyard charm. Here, you’ll find over 80 kilometres of slopes, from gentle greens for beginners to thrilling black runs for those craving a challenge.
The village feels like a postcard come to life, with traditional wooden chalets and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Perched on the slopes of the Aravis mountain range, it offers breathtaking views, reliable snow, and plenty of sunny days to make your ski holiday even better.
The slopes are well-groomed and varied – ideal for families. Adrenaline seekers can test their skills on steeper runs, while snowboarders and freestyle riders will love the snow park’s jumps, rails, and halfpipe. Cross-country enthusiasts are also spoiled here, with over 60 kilometres of scenic trails, making Le Grand Bornand one of the top Nordic skiing destinations in the Alps.
And when you’re ready for a break from the slopes? Enjoy the lively après-ski scene, wander through the picturesque winter landscape, or try activities like tobogganing, snowshoeing, and – of course – sampling the famous Reblochon cheese, which originated right here.
