Six kilometres up the valley Le Grand-Bornand –
Chinaillon is the other part of the resort.
Chinaillon itself is very well preserved with the
older parts dating back to 17th century.
Apart from the usual mountain activities, the Grand
Bornand and Aravis mountain range offer more than
200km of marked mountain bike trails
accessible with a special lift pass. The more
adventurous can try paragliding or hot air ballooning
above the impressive mountain range and valleys.
Only a 30 minute drive away, a visit to Annecy is a
must; with its dramatic backdrop of sharp mountain
peaks, the turquoise lake is one of Europe’s
most romantic lakes. Annecy often referred to as
‘the Venice of the Alps’, is a pretty
city with old quarters offering an array of
restaurants, bars, shops and activities. The
attractions of Chamonix and Lake Geneva are only a
one hour drive away.
