Free ski passes – Alpine skiing

Free ski passes! For under 5s all the time and ... for under-12s in the spring!

At Le Grand-Bornand, future champions get off to a flying start… or rather a flying start! To give the youngest children the chance to discover the joys of skiing and snowboarding in complete freedom, the -5 ski pass is 100% free. A clever way for families to introduce their children to the pleasures of the mountains without breaking the bank.

And from 21 March 2026, children under the age of 12 will also be able to take advantage of the free ski pass!

A great deal for little skiers… and for their wallets, on presentation of proof of age of course.
