Le Grand Bornand is part of the Aravis skiing area. It has about 85km of pistes spread around Mont Lachat at 2,100m. La Clusaz, 10 minutes away by free shuttle, is on the same Aravis ski pass and adds about 125km more (with Manigod), for around 210km in total – a cheaper Le Grand-Bornand-only pass is also available. For cross-country skiers there are about 74km of trails.

The Aravis region has a great snow record due to an unusual weather system that catches a large amount of snow compared to other areas of a similar altitude. The resort is great for all abilities, with gentle greens for the beginners, some of the steepest blacks in France for the pros and a snow park rated in the top five in the country for the young. 

Grand Bornand’s lift infrastructure has been regularly upgraded over the past decade ensuring easy access to all areas. La Ferme du Soleil is the highest ski-in ski-out chalet in the resort and has all of this right on its doorstep!
