Chalet Etoile

Calendar for 2008

One of the many fantastic things about Le Grand Bornand is the number of events that take place throughout the summer and winter season.  Listed below are some of these events that took place in the summer of 2008, and will take place again in 2009.  Currently the Tourist Office have not released their Summer 2009 calender, so I am not sure of the exact dates, but I believe the dates will be very similar:

Every month out of season and every week in season the Tourist Office produce a leaflet detailing all the events that will take place that month or week.  It is well worth finding a copy, you will be amazed at the sheer number and variety of events taking place, from concerts, free activity evenings, Nintendo competitions(!?) and many more.
