"Carnet de Village", crossed views on Le Grand-Bornand of yesterday, today and tomorrow
Le Grand-Bornand has always opted for a gentle development. No doubt the special bond that the Bornandins - who are mainly involved in the economy of their village - have with a mountain that is loved for what it is, and not what it has too often been made out to be, explains the Bornandin exception; this ability to offer, in the preserved setting of an authentic mountain village, a tourist offer that is good for the body and the spirit, supported by a concern for living together well.
Visitors and people form the same open and happy community.
AT THE SAME TIME TRADITIONAL VILLAGE ...
Between Lake Annecy and Lake Geneva, Switzerland and Mont Blanc, in the heart of the Haute-Savoie and the Annecy Mountains, Le Grand-Bornand is first and foremost a village that lives all year round, and it has all the advantages of this: the pleasure of being together and finding time again, but also a land of unlimited leisure activities and discoveries. The visit to the pretty addresses that irrigate the secret alleys of the village: artists' studios, stores and cosy chalets... More than ever, Le Grand-Bornand invites you to meet around simple pleasures and experiences to be lived together and shared all year round, to the rhythm of the (re)found time.

... AND AN INFLUENTIAL RESORT
With its preserved environment and as the first production site for the famous farmhouse Reblochon cheese, Le Grand-Bornand maintains an art of living that combines tradition and pioneering spirit, to the point of becoming one of the first French mountain resorts. Its 400 two-hundred-year-old chalets stand alongside top-of-the-range leisure facilities. The outdoor culture is nourished by a lively agropastoral tradition and the farms that have been passed down from father to son - and daughter - now stand alongside the most sought-after addresses. Between its long-lasting traditions, its resolutely sporty spirit and its strong character, the "pearl" resort of the Aravis mountains is definitely playing a unique and remarkable game, where everything is still to be experienced and shared...

In bohemian, adventurous, epicurean and even... sustainable mode, everything in Grand-Bornand breathes authenticity, surpassing oneself, and good living, in the setting of a preserved nature. Four slopes, for one and the same gently sloping mountain, which is good for the body and the spirit.
Among the most beautiful resorts in the French Alps, Le Grand-Bornand cultivates the charm of its two hundred year old chalets combined with the modernity of a destination with an enviable events dynamic while having preserved its authenticity. Visitors and inhabitants are happy to meet there, all year round, around an authentic village life. Le Grand-Bornand is also a land of inspiration for artists, craftsmen and creators.
