Le Grand-Bornand Sport, nature, culture

#mongrandbo

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 programme for these “micro-adventures” are great encounters and limitless discoveries… to be savoured or experienced in their entirety!

The BO! Mag News, advice, experience... we've got it all!

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

The limestone faces of the Aravis and Jallouvre mountains, and the rounded reliefs of Mont Lachat and Mont Danay, are all invitations to contemplate landscapes that are sometimes wild, sometimes worked by man and farming, ideal for a simple stroll or a more active hike. More than 160km of signposted trails of varying degrees of difficulty lead from mountain pastures to high-altitude lakes, from dense forests to breathtaking peaks, taking in the most beautiful landscapes and viewpoints from the Jura to the Southern Alps, including the unmissable Mont-Blanc massif.

A diversion 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 offbeat as can be, where works of art and sculptures add colour to squares and alleyways. Stop off at La Source, an artistic playground and exploration of the Alps, 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, the themed trails invite you to discover the heritage at the pace of the mountains.
