Le Grand-Bornand Sport, nature, culture

#mongrandbo

Le Grand-Bornand has that little something extra
that’s all its own.
That lively, warm and authentic personality,
“I’m going to the Grand-Bo”, as even the most intimate say.
and with good reason: it’s so easy to get attached
to this unique village life,

You don’t find yourself in Grand-Bornand…
It’s a truly wonderful time,
discussing snow and good weather,
with friends and family,
in a majestic natural setting.

Le Grand-Bornand isn’t just about sport,
We ski in a picture-postcard setting,
We learn from our champions,
we vibrate to the rhythm of the Biathlon World Cup,
and we Glisse en Coeur, together and in solidarity!

We’re not just taking a ride
in Grand-Bornand,
You’ll be captivated by the inimitable jaggedness of the Aravis mountains,
facing the summit of Mont Lachat,
Breathe in the Pointe Percée refuge,
enjoying a rich, unspoilt biodiversity,

Eating in Grand-Bornand isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,
You can enjoy a farmhouse reblochon premier cru
in a century-old chalet,
a testament to the skills of our craftsmen and farmers.

In Grand-Bornand, you can let your artistic soul
your artistic soul,
marvel at La Source
and on the Art Vache trail
and rediscover your child’s eyes
during the Au Bonheur des Mômes festival

This is Le Grand-Bornand,
A singular, exceptional art of living,
where Bo! is everywhere and shared by all.
It’s an energy, a feeling, an emotion called…
Le Bo!Vivre.

Bo!Vivre does good
body and mind!

Discover our different sports something for everyone!

Between sport, nature and culture, Le Grand-Bornand and its old wooden chalets at the foot of the Aravis mountains cultivate the pleasure of shared experiences for a day or more. On the program for these “micro-adventures” are wonderful encounters and limitless discoveries… to savor or experience in their entirety!

Panoramas and wide open spaces stop off at the wonders of Grand-Bornand

The limestone faces of the Aravis and Jallouvre mountains, as well as the rounded reliefs of Mont Lachat and Danay, invite you to contemplate landscapes that are at times wild, at other times worked by man and farming, ideal for simple strolls or more active hikes. More than 160 km of marked trails of varying difficulty lead from mountain pastures to high-altitude lakes, from dense forests to dizzying peaks, to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes and viewpoints from the Jura to the Southern Alps, including the unmissable Mont-Blanc massif.

A detour through cultural treasures du Grand-Bornand

Stroll along the Parcours de l’Art Vache, the only one of its kind in the world, evolving, arty and quirky as can be, where works of art and sculptures add color to squares and alleyways. Treat yourself to a stopover at La Source, a playground and exploration of the Alpe with an artistic decor in keeping with the playful, offbeat spirit of the Au Bonheur des Mômes festival. The Maison du Patrimoine, an authentic farmhouse that has survived the centuries, immerses you in local history through objects from yesteryear. And to prolong the escape, themed trails invite you to discover our heritage at the pace of the mountains.
