Cross-country skiing
WINTER 2024 / 2025
Alpine ski area open from 18/12/2024 to 13/04/2025 (dates may change depending on snow conditions)
In the footsteps - or rather tracks, of Olympic medalists Roddy Darragon or Sylvie Becaert, cross-country skiing in Le Grand-Bornand allows you to enjoy up-close the terrain they skied on to train. In the Bouchet Valley and in the upper part of Chinaillon near the old village, cross-country skiing is king. Enjoy also many prepared itineraries for snowshoeing and walking.
