Le Grand-Bornand
40 play areas, ecological rides, mechanical and sound curiosities, educational farm and garden, panoramic terrace, exhibitions and shows: a ‘new generation’ theme park... where the whole family can discover 'l'Alpe'!
Treat yourself to a return to... La Source, a play park and an exploration of the Alps with an artistic decor in keeping with the playful, offbeat spirit of the Au Bonheur des Mômes festival.
Stroll through the meadow at La Source, its educational farm and organic garden. Immerse yourself in the underground life of the marmots. Be amazed by its monumental installations, such as the parent-powered ecological merry-go-rounds, the Giant Sonnaille and the Play Tree. Discover areas for free play and sharing, enhanced by a sculptural bench in the shape of the surrounding mountains, inviting young and old alike to come together and enjoy life in the mountains to the rhythm of the Swiss cuckoos.
Enter this beautifully decorated old Bornand farmhouse and wander from surprise to surprise. From the Bo'bar, an original creation by the Théâtre de la Toupine, to the Vache Cinétique, a fascinating moving machine created by Vaud sculptor Pascal Bettex, let yourself be transported into an unusual universe that oscillates between tradition and contemporary creations.
A rich and varied programme of shows, discovery and creative workshops, conferences and family events is on offer all summer long.
