Discover Le Grand-Bornand with Oxyski

Le Grand-Bornand is one of the French Alps’ most charming ski resorts, combining excellent skiing with the character of a traditional mountain village. Centuries-old chalets sit alongside all the facilities of a modern ski resort, with beautiful views across the Aravis mountain range. Within easy reach of Geneva and Annecy, the resort is made up of two villages. Le Grand-Bornand Village, at 1,000 metres, is the lively heart of the resort, while Le Chinaillon, at 1,300 metres, is home to historic chalets dating back to the 17th century and provides direct access to the main ski area.
