Visitor Reviews of Le Grand Bornand

Le Grand Bornand is the little unspoiled treasure you don't want to see change. We visited the resort Easter 2008 (March) and had the time of our lives. We were blessed with fresh snow most days and the runs were empty! We couldn't believe how quiet the ski-lifts were and how easy it was to use the seated lifts - hardly any button/tow bars.
We are a family with 2 young teenagers and they were not put off by the lack of 'night-life'. We are used to skiing at bigger resorts like 'Les 2 Alpes' with a 2 hour journey to get to the top where the best skiing is. You can get quite frustrated queuing for 30 minutes for each lift then another 30 mins before you join the next lift!
Our accommodation was at the Chalet Everest,with only 8 steps from the front door to the ski bus leading up to the resort. The chalet caters for all groups of families 4-12, at very reasonable prices. It is also in reach of the quaint village of Grand Bornand. The weekly market on Wednesday is worth a visit.
We are returning to LGB for the New Year and we all can't wait to have the batteries recharged again. Maybe this time I will be more careful and try not to break my cruciate ligament in both knees! Totally embarassing coming down the slopes on a stretcher to see people waiting at the bottom of the slope for me to be transported into the ambulance. From a crazy mistake - crossed skis when getting off the ski lift and falling over! Not the cheapest way of coming off the mountain (300 Euros) I hadn't broken the ligaments but damaged ligaments around the knee joints.
We are hoping the sleepy village will still celebrate the new year or maybe we will see fireworks from the other nearby resorts.
