Among the most beautiful resorts in the French mountains, Le Grand-Bornand is a life-size "land art". Here is our top of the most spectacular panoramas of the region, a must see in winter...
THE TOP OF MONT LACHAT
The highest point of the ski area, at an altitude of 2100m, Mount Lachat offers a 360° view, successively embracing the Aravis mountain range, which is dominated by mont Blanc in the background, the Tournette, Bornes and Bargy massifs, and also opens up beautiful views of the Southern Alps, the Jura and the Chablais, in the distance...
THE TERRES ROUGES
At the top of the eponymous chairlift, it is unquestionably THE most beautiful view of the region on the Aravis chain, whose spectacular thread marks the horizon for more than thirty kilometers, between the emblematic peaks of pointe Percée and mont Charvin.
LE GRAND-BORNAND VILLAGE AND THE ARAVIS
Seen from the forest path, accessible by a nice walk on the hillside, it is a bit like a Bornandine "postcard", with its village heart massed around the church and its famous bulbous bell tower on the Aravis chain background, imposing its majestic silhouette in the background. A classic of alpine imagery, like no other.
THE OLD CHINAILLON AND THE MONT LACHAT
Iconic, it is a bit the emblem of Le Grand-Bornand: a hamlet of two-century old chalets with a patina of centuries and their graceful chapel with a steeple of bullheads, offering a unique balcony over the ski area winding around mont Lachat. Probably one of the most photographed sites in the Alps...
THE TETE DES ANNES
A somewhat secret corner, perched at the far end of the ski area and overlooking the col des Annes, accessible via the chairlift of the same name. In an icy silence, the view of the pointe Percée and the combes and peaks of the Aravis is striking, as is the impression of the end of the world emanating from the col des Annes and its hamlet asleep under a thick blanket of snow.
THE VALLEE DU BOUCHET
Against the backdrop of the village, discover the splendid Bouchet valley at the foot of the Aravis mountain range, a favourite Nordic skiing area, which takes you as far as the famous col des Annes.
