Your four-legged companions are welcome, provided they are kept on a leash throughout the estate.

A water point is available at the foot of the Rosay for cleaning equipment.

Lachat chairlift

Easy access to the summits!

Following on from the Rosay gondola, the Lachat chairlift is accessible to pedestrians and paragliders.

Enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama of the Jura, Aravis, Bargy, Bornes, Bauges and Chablais massifs, as well as the summit of Mont Blanc.

Thanks to the orientation table, you’ll be able to spot some of the highest peaks in the Alps.

In this exceptional setting, take a stroll along the new panoramic trail (550m) and, in July & August, before it opens to the public, (re)awaken your senses with an unforgettable Morning Yoga (fee payable upon registration)!

Reach the facility either by taking the Rosay gondola from Le Grand-Bornand Village, or by car via the route des Outalays from Le Chinaillon.

Please note that mountain bikes are not permitted on this chairlift.

Altitude reached: 2050m

Carbon footprint: 215 g of CO₂ per trip.
