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!
Excellent accommodation - host was super helpful, accommodation was so well equipped with everything you could need. Easy to find and access via ski bus. Would highly recommend.
A proximité, par navette gratuite, du télécabine du Rosay, appartement confortable, au calme, avec les équipements nécessaires pour cuisiner. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour de ski.
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 😇😇

Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour et merci pour vos commentaires. Nous remplacerons l'aspirateur et réparerons le robinet de la cuisine. Je suis désolé que vous n'ayez pas aimé les moquettes! . J'espère vous accueillir à nouveau dans le futur
Appartement très bien équipé et plutôt confortable pour 2 familles de 4, bien situé même si la côte pour y accéder est rude mais passage de navettes gratuites à proximité de la résidence.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, Paul est très réactif et sympathique, nous sommes ravis.
Merci!

Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour. Le chemin vers l'appartement est un travail difficile pour votre vélo. Le Tour de France traverse la région et les routes offrent des défis aux cyclistes amateurs!
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.

Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié l'appartement et aimé Le Grand Bornand
Idéal pour un séjour en famille. Appartement très bien avec place de parking. Tout est prévu et hôte très réactif.
Un peu loin du centre du village pour le faire à pied car une grosse montée au retour.
Un agréable séjour.

Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié l'appartement. C'est une promenade agréable dans la rue qui mène au village, mais c'est une promenade en montée au retour.
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!

I look forward to welcoming you for a return visit
Appartement bien situé ( 15-20 minutes à pied du centre ville pour sportif car belle pente au retour )
dans une résidence bien tenue. T.B pour 6 personnes .
disposition 3/4 chambres. Salon cosy. Cuisine bien équipée. et l'ensemble fonctionnel
Je vous le conseille.
l'appartement est bien situé avec une navette qui passe devant et s'arrête à coté toute le 20 minutes sinon on n'est pas loin de la station 15 minutes à pied très agréable le soir avec toutes les lumières. Tout ce qui est marqué sur l'annonce est vrai bonnes explication pour l'installation à refaire l'année prochaine
Nous avons passé un très beau weekend de Toussaint dans cet appartement commode, calme et bien agencé.
Il est très bien équipé pour passer un séjour serein et agréable, et bien placé pour profiter des multiples attractions du Grand Bornand.
L'appartement correspond tout-à-fait à la description et aux photos. Il est situé sur les hauteurs du Grand Bornand, à environ 20min à pied du centre. Il est spacieux, offre une belle vue sur la chaîne des Aravis, et est bien équipé.
La communication avec Paul, le propriétaire a été parfaite.
Je recommande!
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 !
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans l apparemment très spacieux bien équipé très propre de Paul
En plus pratique avec les navettes juste au pied de l immeuble
Nous le recommandons vraiment

About the host
Hosted by Paul Challis
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.
