In the heart of the Aravis Mountain range in the Haute Savoie, perfectly located between Mont Blanc, Lake Annecy and Switzerland, Le Grand-Bornand offers the best of the Alps. Not only is Le Grand-Bornand a tourist destination in the summer as well as winter, but it is also a truly charming village where Mother Nature has done her very best . The Aravis Mountains, with their summit at 2750m, form the main backdrop to the village. The range is capped by the distinctive Pointe Percée from where green, forested mountain slopes, open to all, curve down towards the village.

The resort is divided in to two parts: Le Grand-Bornand Village is, at 1000 metres, a typical Savoyard village with a market square and “grenette”,a traditionally roofed  market  hall, and shops. The splendid Bouchet valley stretches away behind… a favourite cross country ski area.
Six kilometres further up, at 1300 metres and on the road to Col de la Colombiere, Le Grand-Bornand - Chinaillon is the other  part of the resort, where most of the ski runs begin. The old part of Chinaillon, very well preserved, dates back to 17 th century .

Well known as a winter sports resort, Le Grand-Bornand is also an excellent summer venue  offering numerous activities : aqua fitness centre, acrobatic centre, 10 hole golf course, a jogging track, archery, tennis, mountain biking, mini golf, themed footpaths, via ferrata, a cable car, paragliding lessons and hot air ballooning.
