About our Ski Weekender Lite Packages
These packages are designed to offer you all the convenience and quality you would expect
from a Ski Weekender holiday but with a slightly more independent approach resulting in
some lower prices.
We still include all the essential elements - airport transfers, chalet-board accommodation
in en-suite rooms and full Aravis region lift passes ready on arrival, plus the support of our
Ski Team in resort. However, unlike some of our other accommodation, such as the Aravis
Lodge, you will not have a dedicated team on hand 24/7. Ski hire is available with a partner
shop situated close to the hotel. Ski hosting and evening entertainments run by our team
are not included with the Ski Weekender Lite package.
In summary – you’ll be staying in centrally located accommodation run by friendly local
partners who will look after you very well, with our team close by and available to assist
with all aspects of your holiday.
Hotel Description
The hotel has 20 bedrooms and features a mixture of twin, double and triple/quad
rooms. All rooms are en-suite with showers / WC , TV and telephone.
The rooms are well presented with traditional wooden features and décor. Some
rooms have a south facing balcony with a view of the slopes and spectacular Aravis
Mountain range.
The ground floor has a bar and restaurant which is where your evening meal will be
served. The restaurant has a good reputation in the village and is a popular spot during
the winter season with locals and visitors alike.
The hotel restaurant serves a range of hearty, tasty mountain dishes including the
traditional Savoyard specialities of tartiflette, fondue and raclette, amongst other local
delicacies. The Ski Weekender Lite package includes a set 3-course dinner every night
of your stay (including Wednesdays on Midweek breaks).
Table wine is included with dinner, and the kitchen can cater
for vegetarians and other special dietary requirements as
long as you let us know these in advance.
The well-stocked hotel bar next to the restaurant has some
games (darts, jenga) and is a good place to enjoy an aperitif
or post-dinner drink.
There is a small lounge and breakfast room on the first floor,
which is for the exclusive use of hotel guests. A buffet-style
breakfast is served to set you up for the day’s skiing.
There is also a ski room available to store your equipment
and dry your boots, although our ski hire partner does offer
a free locker service at the foot of the slopes which is more
convenient if you are skiing in Grand Bornand.
The bedrooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The rooms
are all cosy, warm and well presented, with wooden Savoyard
décor. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with shower / WC.
Many rooms have a double and single bed, and some can
accommodate up to 4 people.
The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming and speak
English; they will ensure that your stay is as comfortable and
relaxing as possible. Our ski team is based 2km away, and is
available by phone and during regular evening drop-ins at the
hotel to help with anything you need during your holiday.

Hotel Location
The hotel is located right in the centre
of Le Grand Bornand which has all the
facilities you could require (ATM, Post
Office, shops, bars, restaurants etc)
within a few seconds’ walk.
The main telecabines / lifts are around
5 minutes’ walk from the hotel, and
give you easy access to the great skiing
of Le Grand Bornand.
A ski bus stop is right outside the
hotel. This can be used to access the
Le Grand Bornand lifts without
walking, or to travel to La Clusaz, just
10 minutes away offering a further
120km of skiing covered by the lift
pass included in your package.
The Resort and Region
A very picturesque town, Le Grand
Bornand is a year round resort that has
retained its traditional charm. Many
people who ski here once become
enchanted and return for years
afterwards.
Le Grand Bornand is a very family friendly resort. You will find a number of
excellent, good value restaurants in the attractive old centre based around
the church. It’s not the most nightlife focused resort, but there are a few
fun spots for an après–ski drink where you can enjoy an aperitif, beer or vin
chaud in the company of locals and other visitors.
Another point worth highlighting is the quality of slope maintenance across the ski area. Grand Bornand has one of the
most skilful piste grooming and artificial snow management teams in the French Alps, who keep runs in exceptional
condition even during periods without fresh snowfall.
•excellent resort for beginners and intermediates as well as plenty of challenging terrain for advanced skiers;
•good potential for off-piste skiing and ski touring;
•resort full of traditional Savoyard charm;
•transfer time from Geneva airport of less than an hour;
•great choice of “non-skiing” activities;
•lively après-ski but not overwhelmed by Brits;
•good selection of mountain restaurants, bars and cafes – with more reasonable prices than other French resorts.
The skiing is based around all sides of Mont Lachat, rising from the centre of the village. Combined with La Clusaz, on the
same ski pass, the total ski area is 220km, offering a huge range of terrain and styles of skiing to suit all levels. The area sits
between 1100m and 2600m, with the majority of skiing N/NE facing from 1500m – 2200m. The region has a favourable
microclimate and consistently receives more snowfall at its altitude than other resorts in the northern French Alps.
