Discover bornandin heritage

Walking through the narrow streets of Le Grand-Bornand is like immersing yourself in a living heritage. From the old hamlet of Chinaillon to the village church, each guided tour reveals a fragment of history. And when history gives way to expression, creative workshops, storytelling walks and nature activities invite young and old to create, touch and dream. With the best view in the region of the Aravis mountain range, discovering the secrets of Reblochon cheese on the farm in the land of Neige, the mascot cow of the Salon International de l’Agriculture in 2022, or tasting other local specialities at the market stalls dating back to 1795, Le Grand-Bornand has everything to seduce epicureans.

To treat yourself a green wellness break

A favourite destination for lovers of the good life, it offers a full range of sporting and fitness activities in unspoilt surroundings, between lakes (Annecy is 45 minutes away, Geneva less than an hour) and mountains. The playground, located on the banks of the Borne, a pretty stream where you can dip your toes in after a walk, gives you the chance to test your archery skills, your endurance on the pumptrack, your biathlon skills, climb the tree climbing course and enjoy the pool after a hard-fought game of tennis or mini-golf, all in the heart of the village. Or take advantage of the escape game or a yoga session outdoors or in the river with qualified professionals. The village is a wonderful source of experiences…
