Le Grand-Bornand Summer Adventure Trail

Renowned for the beauty of its unspoilt environment, set against the backdrop of the emblematic Aravis mountain range, Le Grand-Bornand invites adventurers at heart to get off the beaten track and indulge in a wide range of activities in close proximity to nature. And there’s no age limit for playing Robinson!

Miles of thrills

In summer, Le Grand-Bornand offers 160km of signposted hiking and trail trails, including the ascent of the impressive Pointe Percée, which towers above the Aravis mountains at an altitude of 2,750m, as well as renowned climbing routes and a via-ferrata.

Bike side, le Grand-Bornand knows a thing or two!

As for cycling, Le Grand-Bornand, 9 times a stage town for the Tour de France since 1995, knows a thing or two about it, with its fearsome ascent to the Col de la Colombière, a not-to-be-missed stage on the Route des Grandes Alpes tourist itinerary, and its mountain bike offering featuring 178 km of mountain pasture trails, a handling course and a Ludoparc… In the Annecy Mountains region, cycling is an art of living, which everyone can enjoy in their own way, whether as a touring cyclist or a sportsman. There are plenty of routes to enjoy, with tight switchbacks and unspoilt mountain trails, unless you prefer to cycle close to the turquoise waters of Lake Annecy.

An exceptional panorama à 360°

Le Grand-Bornand is a leading paragliding resort, with a take-off point at the top of Mont Lachat de Châtillon, and its ski lifts are open in summer. A gondola lift and a chairlift provide access to the paragliding launch site, as well as to the many hiking and mountain-biking routes… or to contemplate an exceptional 360° panorama.
