Outstanding base for exploring Le Grand-Bornand and surrounding area
Five of us (my wife and I, another couple and a friend) stayed for five days in preparation for cycling the Étape du Tour. The apartment was perfect for us and exactly as described. Incredible views from the private balcony. All essentials for cooking were provided. Two fridges were an extra bonus. The owner, Paul Challis, was very helpful and accommodating (we needed to depart on a Monday). Before we arrived, Paul sent us a set of keys and a detailed description of the apartment with instructions for everything (including TV and WiFi). Highly recommended!

Bon sejour, Trois remarques , remplacer l'aspirateur qui est inefficace, ainsi que la robinetterie de la cuisine qui va finir par se rompre tellement il faut forcer pour fermer l'arrivée d'eau. Penser à remplacer ces moquettes !!!!! Ce sera le top 😇😇

Séjour entre amis avec bébés très agréable
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable avec nos amis et nos enfants en bas âge. L'hôte a été très réactif pour toutes nos questions, et très flexible pour nos horaires de départ et arrivée. L'appartement est très grand et fonctionnel avec une très jolie vue. Il faut compter 20min pour y monter à pied depuis le centre (ou présence de navettes gratuites que nous n'avons pas prise). Nous recommandons ce logement, et le village du Grand Bornand est très mignon.

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!

Appartement très agréable
Nous avons passé 1 semaine à 7 personnes dans l'appartement qui est spacieux . L'appartement de Paul est très bien situé car desservi par des transport en navette toutes les 20 min Point d'amélioration que nous proposons : la literie qui n'était pas assez dure à notre goût. Quelques petits ajustements de nettoyage à notre arrivée également ont du être fait. Nous avons apprécié la disponibilité de Paul par message pour répondre à toutes nos questions je recommande vivement de venir passer vos vacances à la montagne chez lui !

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.

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.
