In summer, Le Grand-Bornand opens its mountain-biking ground at the foot of the Aravis. Between the resort’s bike park and the pasture routes, mountain biking comes in every mood here, from the downhill run to the gentle e-bike ride. It’s also an excellent base to explore the Annecy Mountains on electric assist, without suffering on the climbs.
The formats
- Family E-Bike discovery: an outing open to families, where the assist smooths out the difficulty and leaves you free to enjoy the scenery. Perfect for a first time and to ride together, young and old.
- “Big Five” photo safari by e-bike: a guided outing in search of the finest spots in the Annecy Mountains, designed to bring back memorable images. Another way to discover the mountain, camera in hand.
- The bike park and enduro: downhill trails and routes in the Aravis for thrill-seekers, to be ridden with suitable gear.
How it works
E-bike, full-suspension bike and protection rental is available on site. For the bike park, a pass gives access to the fitted lifts. The guided e-bike outings, led by professionals, are the best way to discover the finest trails safely, especially with the family.
Booking
From the family discovery to the photo safari, here is our selection of e-bike outings with our partner.
