Live the experience Namasté Day Out

A green wellness break!

Le Grand-Bornand is sometimes likened to the Himalayas. And with good reason: nestling at the foot of the Aravis mountain range, Le Grand-Bornand lifts the body and the spirit for a retreat that combines better living with a return to oneself. A wellness break, yes… but in the green!

Your afternoon

A family introduction to the art of pottery at the 4 Seasons workshop: A Savoyard tradition par excellence, pottery can be discovered all summer long in the form of workshops and other discovery courses for parents and children aged 4 and over, run by ceramist Nathan Belfer. The workshop, housed in an adorable little house on the corner of the village square, has developed a style in Grand-Bornand that does not imitate any particular artistic movement, but aims for the essential, the most natural expression. On the programme: throwing, modelling, decoration with engobes and enamelling… and the shared pleasure of leaving with a small object of her creation.

Don't miss the 5th edition of Carnets d'Alpage, for all you food lovers!

On the programme: workshops led by the artist-sketcher trio Pierre Amoudry, Vincent Desplanche and Luc Perillat: grandocroquis, lectures, exhibitions, evening events… all good opportunities to exchange ideas and sketch together the lines of a creative and colourful mountain.

Get away from it all on a hike to Lessy lake

From the top of the grassy ridge just before the descent to the lake, don’t miss the view of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. The walk ends in a secluded high-altitude valley, where sheepfolds and lakeside refuge chalets nestle.

The Plus

  • For lunch, choose from one of the many restaurants in the village.
  • If you opt for the craftsmen’s tour, take a break to enjoy a snack with your feet up in the Borne.
  • In the evening, dine in one of Chinaillon’s restaurants.
