Apres-ski
The choice of restaurants in the village and at height ranges through the full gamut from French country style, sophisticated dining and fast food. There is about the same choice of bars with some based in hotels, but you could just go for a quiet drink after a hard day on the slopes or one of the livelier pubs. The nightclub "Le Baron Noir" is located near the village at Pont du Venay, Chinaillon and is great fun for the younger skiers who have the energy to bop till they drop.
Overview
Le Grand Bornand is a small resort in the Aravis Pass Area that has been kept in the traditional style. The skiing is well suited for beginners and those who have skied before, but might not hold much for the experienced. There is a good snowpark and several halfpipes. You can board on all the pistes. 56km of cross country and snowshoeing, telemark and skidoos are available. The apres ski scene is lively with about 70 restaurants and bars and a couple of clubs for dancing. La Clusaz is close by for a quiet day away from the piste.
