A relaxing break facing the peaks!

Because there’s more to the mountains than just hurtling down the slopes, Le Grand-Bornand has created Chill Zones, real relaxation bubbles set up in the most beautiful spots in the ski area.
Whether at the top of the Rosay gondola, the Maroly chairlift or the Snowpark, take a moment out of time to admire the scenery, relax and recharge your batteries… literally and figuratively!

Their skis rest in the snow, silent witnesses to a busy day. The majestic landscape, the golden reflections and the peaceful atmosphere perfectly illustrate the serenity and raw beauty of the mountains in winter.
