In Le Grand-Bornand, summer can also be discovered in an accessible version: adapted trails, all-terrain wheelchairs and specialized guides enable people with reduced mobility to enjoy mountain walks to the full.
A person with reduced mobility goes handiskiing in a snowy setting. His ESF guide in red clothes pushes and belays behind him, both laughing and seeming to enjoy the moment. Behind them, the PRM skier's wife follows them. The PRM skier is wearing a black, orange and grey ski suit with a black helmet. We can see the Aravis mountain range in the background. The atmosphere is very gentle, serene and jovial.Le Grand-BornandHandisport

News and adviceWe tell you all about it!
HandiskiSkiing for all!
Founded in 1998 by seven sportsmen and women led by former ski instructor Jean-Claude Blanc, who is still President, the Handiski Club Loisirs association works to enable people with motor, sensory or mental disabilities to enjoy mountain activities to the full. On the slopes, the association has a large stock of equipment – uniski, dual-ski, kart-ski, tandem-ski, Nordic sledge… – to satisfy every desire for thrills, as well as special support for skiers of all levels, in conjunction with the resort’s ski schools and their specially-trained instructors. Le Grand-Bornand’s ski lifts share this commitment to inclusivity, offering disabled skiers priority access and a preferential rate that also applies to their companion.
How about getting into action mode?
Hiking in front of the Aravis mountain range, skiing at sunset, enjoying the fresh mountain air while admiring century-old chalets, meeting farmers, guides and craftsmen and women, and enjoying a good farmhouse Reblochon cheese: these are all moments that make summer and winter in Le Grand-Bornand a unique experience… and help make it a place that belongs to all of us. The BO! Life is good for body and soul!
