Chalet Etoile is located in Chinaillon, the upper ski station of Le Grand Bornand. Le Grand Bornand is situated in the heart of the Aravis range of mountains just 5 miles from the resort of La Clusaz. The villages of Le Grand Bornand and Chinaillon have been describes as 'one of the best kept secrets of the French Alps' . With over 90 km of downhill ski runs, Le Grand Bornand is clearly not the biggest resort in the French Alps, but it is still a world class resort, with some of the nicest people and shortest queues found in the Alps. It is known for its production of championship skiers and is part of Annecy's bid for the Winter Olympics in 2018. Chinaillon is a very traditional Savoyard village which dates back to the 17th century. Chalet Etoile is located just minutes away from the picturesque old village as well as the main village with its shops and restaurants. The pistes are about a 10 minute walk away or a very short hop on the ski bus that stops at the top of our drive.
