The ski bus stops immediately outside the apartment and takes only minutes to get to the cable car. Alternatively, there is plenty of parking in the village if you want to use your own vehicle.

It is located only 1 hour from Geneva airport. During the winter Le Grand Bornand is a great centre for downhill skiing and snow boarding with 90 KM of downhill pistes and over 40 runs. For cross country skiers there is an additional 60 KM of ski runs. There is also the option to travel 6km by car or ski bus to ski at La Clusaz which offers a further 128 KM of downhill pistes and 72 runs. There is also an ice skating rink close to the Le Grand Bornand Village centre.

In the summer Le Grand Bornand is great for mountain walks, cycling and paragliding and also padding and swimming in the outdoor village pools, village stream or nearby lakes. There is even a golf course on the mountain.

The living area is spacious and comfortable, with seating for up to 8 people and is equipped with satellite TV with access to all major UK and French channels and with DVD player. There is a dining area with a table for six that extends so that 8 people can dine comfortably.

The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, microwave, 2 fridges, freezer compartment and dishwasher.

As well as a ski locker located in the basement, there is also a heated cupboard located in the apartment for storing your boots and ski wear.

The balcony is equipped with a table and seating for 6 and is a great area to sit and relax and admire the views after a hard day on the slopes, Deck chairs are also available for those that want to soak up the sun during the day.

The bedrooms comprise of:

1st bedroom: double room on ground floor

2nd bedroom: twin bedded room on ground floor

In the summer, the apartment is a great base for mountain hiking, archery, trampolineing, biking, paragliding, climbing and water sports on Lake Annecy. There are also 2 communal pools in the village and sunbathing areas by the stream that runs through the village.

Great holiday!
Beautiful surroundings and very happy with the flat which is comfortable, clean and very well fitted out with all amenities , nothing missing. Bedrooms are fine, with plenty of living area on two floors. The owner has been most helpful in every way, and on the way home we decided we would be very inclined to book again, the ultimate proof!

Outstanding base for exploring Le Grand-Bornand and surrounding area
Five of us (my wife and I, another couple and a friend) stayed for five days in preparation for cycling the Étape du Tour. The apartment was perfect for us and exactly as described. Incredible views from the private balcony. All essentials for cooking were provided. Two fridges were an extra bonus. The owner, Paul Challis, was very helpful and accommodating (we needed to depart on a Monday). Before we arrived, Paul sent us a set of keys and a detailed description of the apartment with instructions for everything (including TV and WiFi). Highly recommended!

The apartment and resort lived up to the description
Everything was exactly as expected even the walk up the hill to the apartment was fairly described. Would happily book again for another skiing holiday. Paul, the owner, could not have been more helpful.

Bon sejour, Trois remarques , remplacer l'aspirateur qui est inefficace, ainsi que la robinetterie de la cuisine qui va finir par se rompre tellement il faut forcer pour fermer l'arrivée d'eau. Penser à remplacer ces moquettes !!!!! Ce sera le top 😇😇

Séjour entre amis avec bébés très agréable
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable avec nos amis et nos enfants en bas âge. L'hôte a été très réactif pour toutes nos questions, et très flexible pour nos horaires de départ et arrivée. L'appartement est très grand et fonctionnel avec une très jolie vue. Il faut compter 20min pour y monter à pied depuis le centre (ou présence de navettes gratuites que nous n'avons pas prise). Nous recommandons ce logement, et le village du Grand Bornand est très mignon.

L'appartement correspond tout-à-fait à la description et aux photos. Il est situé sur les hauteurs du Grand Bornand, à environ 20min à pied du centre. Il est spacieux, offre une belle vue sur la chaîne des Aravis, et est bien équipé. La communication avec Paul, le propriétaire a été parfaite. Je recommande!

Appartement très agréable
Nous avons passé 1 semaine à 7 personnes dans l'appartement qui est spacieux . L'appartement de Paul est très bien situé car desservi par des transport en navette toutes les 20 min Point d'amélioration que nous proposons : la literie qui n'était pas assez dure à notre goût. Quelques petits ajustements de nettoyage à notre arrivée également ont du être fait. Nous avons apprécié la disponibilité de Paul par message pour répondre à toutes nos questions je recommande vivement de venir passer vos vacances à la montagne chez lui !

A recommander.
La location a été prise pour 7 personnes et nous ne nous y sommes pas senti du tout à l'étroit, la location est propre, bien située à côté d'un arrêt de ski bus, ou à 5 minutes maximum en voiture des télécabines du Rozay, moins de 10 minutes en ski bus. Belle vus sur les Aravis, l'équipement est complet, il y a tout ce qu'il faut, la petite cascade à côté apporte son charme, si vous devez louer n'hésitez pas, les chaînes sont obligatoires en cas de neige pour accéder au chalet. Tout est ok, très bon séjour, à 7 nous y retournerons sans soucis, la location est prévue pour 8 personnes avec deux lits doubles et deux chambres avec deux lits ainsi qu'un canapé lit dans la mezzanine en plus. Très bon séjour, très bonne loc et le contact avec le propriétaire est nickel.
