A farming village that keeps things gentle.
Le Grand-Bornand is a traditional farming village in the Aravis, known for its Reblochon cheese as much as its skiing. It is a calm, family friendly choice with gentle slopes and a genuine rural feel.
Know the mountain before you go.
The skiing
The skiing is mostly easy and intermediate, ideal for families and those finding their feet, with a separate beginner village at Le Chinaillon higher up. It is not the place for experts chasing steeps, but it is lovely for a relaxed week.
The village and the evenings
The village keeps its agricultural heart, with a busy weekly market and chalets that still feel like homes rather than lets. It is quiet and unspoilt.
Getting there
Geneva is around an hour away by road, so you are on the snow in no time.
