  4. Hamlet of good things

A favourite destination for epicureans, Le Grand-Bornand offers a full range of leisure and fitness activities in one of the most beautiful high altitude villages in the French Alps. Its fine restaurants offering the very best in local gastronomy are the deserved reward for an intense session of skiing at sunset or a summer hike up to the Pointe Percée… which zen minds can admire during a yoga session with a view of the Aravis mountain range. With 42 farms producing the famous farmhouse Reblochon, it is the leading agricultural commune in Haute-Savoie!

Three friends in skiwear are sitting on deckchairs at the top of a snow-covered mountain, with a panoramic view of the Aravis range in the background. They are enjoying a moment of relaxation under a sunny sky. One person is wearing a red jacket, another a green one and the last a pink one. A paraglider can also be seen on the left, flying over the mountains. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, reminiscent of a break after a skiing session.Three friends in skiwear are sitting on deckchairs at the top of a snow-covered mountain, with a panoramic view of the Aravis range in the background.

Taste the flavours from Haute-Savoie!

Le Grand-Bornand is the home of farmhouse Reblochon cheese, which traditionally dates back to the Middle Ages in the mountain pastures of the Col des Annes, and has as many cows as inhabitants! This know-how is perpetuated by its young farmers, and can be discovered and savoured on a trip to the farm… or over a good meal, as the village is not short of great places to eat, ranging from quality fast food to the panoramic terrace at the top of the slopes, not forgetting the bistronomic restaurants dotting the main streets of the village and Chinaillon.

Why not get into action mode?

Hiking in front of the Aravis mountain range, skiing at sunset, enjoying the fresh mountain air while admiring hundred-year-old chalets, meeting the farmers, guides and craftsmen and women and enjoying a good farmhouse Reblochon cheese: these are all moments that make summer and winter in Grand-Bornand a unique experience… and help to make it a place that belongs to all of us in a small way.
