Le Grand Bornand is located between Lake Annecy and Mont Blanc. As a result, Le Grand Bornand skillfully balances two extremes - on the one hand, it is a genuine mountain village with 400 historic chalets, while on the other, it is part of Club TOTFA (Top of French Alps), a label bringing together 15 of France's most prestigious winter sports destinations. Le Grand-Bornand is best known for its dynamic events calendar, including the children's festival Au Bonheurs des Mômes and Glisse en Coeur, which regularly hosts the Tour de France. The combined ski areas, with more than 90 km of pistes, and the Nordic areas, with 43 km of trails, are equipped with high-quality facilities, including a snowpark often described as one of the most impressive in the French Alps.

Le Grand-Bornand is located in Haute-Savoie, in the heart of the Aravis massif between Annecy, Chamonix and Geneva. It offers the charm of a traditional mountain village along with the amenities of a leading resort. It has also preserved the spirit of a high-altitude Savoyard village while developing the quality of its tourist services.
