Where to stay
The village is small and will be full. Annecy, half an hour away, offers incomparable hotel capacity and direct rail access — the obvious fallback base.
Worth noting: La Clusaz also hosts events in the same valley. A well-chosen base lets you cover several venues from one place.
The resort for the rest of the winter
Le Grand-Bornand has kept its working-village character, with a family ski area of 84 km facing the Aravis range, and one of the finest markets in Haute-Savoie on Wednesdays.
