The ski area extends from Grand-Bornand Village (where the World Cup biathlon events are held) to the Bouchet valley. You can also enjoy many groomed itineraries for snowshoeing and walking. SKATING & CLASSIC CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING Wild, populated by snowy spruce trees and chalets snuggled up under the snowflakes, the Nordic domain unfolds its 74.5 km of trails in the Bouchet valley, perfectly maintained and accessible by 3 entrance gates (Le Grand-Bornand Village, Les Plans and Lormay at the Auberge Nordique) which will allow you to discover a setting combining nature, skiing, heritage and agricultural life - 12 varied loops, from 1 to 15.5 km, from the green trail to the black trail without forgetting the link with the Domaine Nordique des Confins: the Tour du Danay, a 12 km loop accessible by the Bouchet valley / Les Confins link. - 74.5 km of alternating and skating trails from Grand-Bornand Village to the Bouchet valley. - 2 biathlon stadiums (cross-country skiing and shooting) at Les Plans in the Bouchet valley and at the Sylvie Becaert stadium in the heart of Grand-Bornand Village, on the site of the biathlon world cup. - Fun learning areas open to all, near the ice rink in Grand-Bornand Village, at Les Poches, Les Plans and at the Auberge Nordique in the Bouchet valley. - 9 km of artificial snow slopes.

Chapel of Le Nant Robert
3.5 km

Chapel of Le Nant Robert

Standing above the village of Le Grand Bornand, with panoramic views over the Aravis chain, the chapel of Le Nant Robert is well worth seeing. It was founded in 1762 and renovated on several occasions during the course of the XX century. The chapel was founded in 1762 by the residents of Le Nant Robert. It is placed under the patronage of Saint Anne, the mother of Mary, and of Saint John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus. With the exception of the overhanging roof-edge just above the main entrance, added during the XX century to protect from humidity, the chapel still looks much as it was in the old days. There are two little windows on each side of the doorway. Several renovations took place during the 1950's (1955 and 1958), also in1994. The chapel interior was repainted in 2000. The chapel has a steeple with a quadrilateral base. Hanging in the steeple is the bell, cast in the Meunier foundry in Chambéry in 1819. François Rey was the bell's godfather and Marie-Justine Rochet its godmother. Inside the chapel the central painting, dating from the XVIII century, is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saint François de Sales, who was Bishop of Annecy during the XVII century. Above it is a crowned Virgin and Child, surrounded by cherubims. There is also a statue of the Virgin and Child with two columns on either side, two candelabras and two kneeling cherubs. Above is a brightly painted altar cross, probably dating back to the XVIII century. Finally, you will notice the impressive Stations of the Cross, drawn in Indian ink. The artist is believed to have been Napoléon Thom.

Cemetery
4.1 km

Cemetery

The original cemetery was situated for a long time immediately around the church. In the mid-XX century, it had to be relocated so that a new village square could be built in front of the Tourist Office, the Town Hall and the church. Until the mid-XIX century, the cemetery was located just below the church, on the Aravis mountain side. In 1816/17, following very heavy snowfall, the church had to be rebuilt. During work on the new foundations, bodies were discovered all around the church. In 1850, the Prefect ordered that the cemetry be moved. To pay for the work, former residents of Le Grand Bornand who had left the village donated 2400 pounds and a further 660 pounds was raised by the villagers themselves. The new cemetery was relocated to a field just opposite of the main door of the church and it was inaugurated in 1854. The original site became free for the building of the first village hall. By the end of the 1950's, winter tourism was developping fast in Le Grand Bornand. There was pressure to design a more functional village square to serve the needs of the Town Hall and the Tourist Office. Building the new square also enabled the development of shops and restaurants. At the same time, the 1921/1923 war memorial, which used to be beside the main road, was relocated to be beside the new cemetery site. This is how the cemetry came to be moved once again, between 1957 and 1963, to its present site beside the Borne river and on the road below the Tourist Office.
