Why choose the Aravis for your summer holidays?

When temperatures rise in the city, the mountains offer the perfect invitation to slow down. At the foot of the peaks, Le Grand-Bornand reveals, in summer, lush green landscapes, flower-filled mountain pastures, shady forests and fresh air that immediately makes you want to breathe more deeply.

In the heart of the village of Le Grand-Bornand, Le Chalet les Saytels welcomes you to an authentic setting where comfort, nature and the art of living come together. Here, every stay is an opportunity to reconnect with what really matters: taking your time, spending time with loved ones and savouring the simple pleasures the mountains have to offer.

The Aravis: a life-size playground

In summer, the Aravis massif is a favourite destination for all nature lovers. From Le Chalet les Saytels, there are numerous hiking routes to choose from, ranging from family-friendly walks to more challenging trails leading to exceptional panoramic views.

Along the way, alpine chalets, herds of livestock, mountain lakes and breathtaking views of the peaks create an unspoilt setting where time seems to stand still. Le Grand-Bornand is also an ideal destination for family holidays. Walks, mountain biking, paragliding, activities for children or exploring the local heritage: there’s something for everyone, at their own pace.

Le Spa du Chalet: a wellness retreat

After a day in the mountains, extend that feeling of relaxation at the Chalet Spa. Enjoy our spa and pool area, designed to promote relaxation and help you unwind. Whether it’s a few lengths in the pool, a moment of tranquillity at the spa or simply a break whilst gazing at the mountains, everything is in place to help you recharge your batteries and leave the daily grind behind.

Because holidays are also about looking after yourself, every moment

A culinary experience at La Table du Chalet

The mountains can also be discovered on your plate. At La Table du Chalet, our restaurant serving seasonal cuisine, our two head chefs showcase local produce and the riches of the Alpine region. As the seasons change, they create generous, refined and authentic dishes, prepared using fresh, local produce.

Seasonal vegetables, cheeses from the Aravis, carefully selected meats and the flavours of the mountains come together in gourmet dishes that celebrate Alpine cuisine whilst leaving plenty of room for creativity. Every meal becomes a moment of sharing, to be savoured with family, as a couple or with friends.

Le Bar du Chalet: a break on the terrace, taking in the Alpine way of life

At any time of day, Le Bar du Chalet invites you to enjoy its large terrace, which really comes to life when the weather is fine. Whether after a hike, over a morning coffee, for a tasty afternoon snack or at aperitif time, make yourself comfortable and savour the good life in the heart of the village of Le Grand-Bornand.

A refreshing house cocktail, a glass of Savoie wine or a local drink are the perfect accompaniment to these convivial moments. With the mountains as your backdrop and the village atmosphere all around you, every moment spent on the terrace is an invitation to slow down and make the most of summer.
