About Le Grand-Bornand
Le Grand-Bornand is a working chalet village in the Aravis, with more cows than lift towers in its self-image and a biathlon stadium that hosts World Cup rounds most winters.
The skiing is split between the village and the Chinaillon sector above it, and it is gentle, sunny and firmly family-oriented.

Is Le Grand-Bornand suitable for beginners and families?
Squarely. The skiing is gentle, sunny and split between the village and the Chinaillon sector above it, and it is one of the more relaxed family resorts in Haute-Savoie. If a biathlon World Cup round is on at the stadium, watching it is a better rest-day plan than most.
