Great holiday!
Beautiful surroundings and very happy with the flat which is comfortable, clean and very well fitted out with all amenities , nothing missing. Bedrooms are fine, with plenty of living area on two floors. The owner has been most helpful in every way, and on the way home we decided we would be very inclined to book again, the ultimate proof!
Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022

The apartment and resort lived up to the description
Everything was exactly as expected even the walk up the hill to the apartment was fairly described. Would happily book again for another skiing holiday. Paul, the owner, could not have been more helpful.

Great family skiing
3rd time I've been now, this time with my son and two friends, and we had a great time again. As it was just the 4 of us we obviously had plenty of space in the apartment. We even cocked a few evenings and found everything we needed in the kitchen and there was plenty of wood for the fireplace. A small issue with the toilet flush was fixed immediately after getting in touch with the owner and athough there was limited fresh snow the sunshine made up for it. We all had a great skiing experience and would definitely come again.

Great apartment with plenty to do!
Situated in a lovely area, this apartment includes a spacious modern open plan kitchen and the bedrooms are extremely comfortable. There are wonderful views from the balcony and the weather was hot (30 degrees) all week. The village offers a range of activities, including archery, paragliding, swimming and parcours as well as a good selection of bars and restaurants. Close by is the city of Annecy with its beautiful lake which is definitely worth a visit.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Challis

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 2014. We have 4 children and we are all keen skiers and have visited many ski areas in the last 10 years in Switzerland, France and Italy. We visited Le Grand Bornand for the first time in 2014 and fell in love with the traditional French village and the great skiing.
We live in the south of England and travel to Le Grand Bornand either by car or via Geneva airport.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this property as it was a great size for a family of six and also had room for any additional friends that we or the children wanted to invite. We had previously stayed in many expensive small apartments with sofa beds or bunk beds but in Apartment Snow Fall there is plenty of room and everybody gets their own proper bed. The skiing is great for all the family and there are a number great family restaurants to visit apres ski.
Le Grand Bornand is also only 1 hours drive from Geneva airport and also is one of the nearest ski resorts to northern France.

What makes this property unique

It has fantastic views from the balcony across to the mountains and down towards the village and it is only a short walk to the village centre or the ski lifts.
If you want to get the ski bus it stops regularly just outside the apartment block.
