Ski Facts Plenty of snow, a preserved natural environment, a frosty light - 5 linked mountain ranges (Balme - 2600 m / Aiguille - 2400 m / Etale - 2400 m / Merdassier - 1650 m / Beauregard - 1640 m). From an altitude of 1100-2600 metres, in the heart of beautiful pine trees, some unique spots remain hidden away: totally untouched snowy terrain...And each morning you can rediscover the pleasure of skiing on perfectly groomed pistes! Around Mont Lachat you will find 90 kilometres of downhill ski runs, serviced by 31 ski lifts.This fully linked ski area is spread out between 1000 and 2100 metres of altitude, starting from Grand-Bornand Village or Grand-Bornand Chinaillon. Fantastic skiing in wonderful scenery between forests of epicea firs and small mountain granaries, offering ski-lovers both the Joyere sector, ideal for beginners, the open spaces of Maroly and the more difficult descents of the Lachat. Thanks to the nearness of the Aravis range, which catches passing cloud formations, snowfalls are particularly abundant in this region, while the North/South orientation of the ski area also provides high sunshine hours. It?s real picture postcard scenery, Le Grand-Bornand ski area, with its chalets and small mountain restaurants?. From the famously steep black run of Lachat to the delightful downhill runs of the Col des Annes, not forgetting such highlights as the slopes of La Floria, Outalays and La Tolar: all skiers, whatever their level will be enchanted. The Etale Cable car has been replaced by a Telemix lift. This is a new type of lift combining a gondola cabin and a chairlift, providing access to Merdassier and the blue Joux run. A permanent four man chairlift from Belvedere, with a conveyor belt, will serve the higher section of the Etale massif. A new artificial snow network will ensure continuous snow cover on the Joux ski run and from the Envers ski run back to La Clusaz! ]The Aravis ski pass, valid on Le Grand-Bornand, La Clusaz, Saint-Jean-de-Sixt and Manigod (not valid on La Croix-Fry sector) offers you 220 km ski runs.
