 Situated in the heart of the Aravis mountains, the Grand Bornand, like nearby La Clusaz, is a typical Savoyard village - remote, unspoilt and built up over hundreds of years by the hard work of a poor farming community. The village's development into a winter ski resort and tourist centre began in earnest after the road connecting Annecy and Thones with the Aravis Valley was opened during the early 1900s. Split into two levels, Le Grand Bornand is the larger central part of the village, while sitting 6 kilometers further towards the scenic Col de Colombiere, Le Grand Bornand-Chinaillon offers direct access to the main ski fields. Part of the Massif des Aravis ski area, Le Grand Bornand offers access to over 220 kilometres of pisted downhill ski runs, along with two snowparks, a halfpipe and 150 kilometres of cross-country ski runs. The region's most celebrated cheese, Reblochon, has been produced in the Thones and Arly Valleys in the Massif des Aravis since the thirteenth century. Reblochon was made from milk that was witheld (lait de rebloche) when tax collectors came to check milk yields. The farmers only partially milked the cows, leaving enough concealed within the cows' udders to produce their own homemade cheese after the inspector had gone. Reblochon soon became a principal ingredient of many Savoyard dishes, most famously, tartiflette. You can buy your own Reblochon direct from the cheese makers at the Reblochon market, held every Wednesday in the centre of Le Grand Bornand.
