Why Le Grand Bornand is Highly Rated for Snow Parks

Le Grand Bornand has been awarded silver Best Ski Resorts for Snow Parks in Europe 2025 with a rating of 4.25/5.00, and the freestyle facilities here truly justify this recognition. The resort boasts an outstanding terrain park that caters to riders of all abilities, from beginners to experts. Ash, an advanced snowboarder, highlights that the park was "one of the best bits" with features ranging from "small beginner ramps and rails to huge ones for the amazing skiers and boarders." What sets this park apart is the free-to-use airbag—a rare find in many resorts—which allows riders to safely practice and perfect aerial tricks. Chris, an advanced skier, also points out that there's "a great board park to play in," making it a standout feature in this otherwise quiet resort.

The terrain park facilities are particularly impressive for a resort of this size, offering everything freestyle enthusiasts could want. Ewan, an expert skier, notes that the resort is generally quiet, creating ideal conditions for riders to enjoy the park features without overcrowding. The jumps vary in size, accommodating progression at all skill levels, while the rail section provides technical challenge for those looking to develop their jibbing skills. One Snomad community member liked that the resort offers "side hits which are super cool" alongside the main park features. For families with mixed abilities, Jacob mentions the "lovely wide runs," which means less experienced riders can build confidence before graduating to the park features, while more advanced family members can enjoy the freestyle facilities—creating a perfect balance that makes Le Grand Bornand worthy of its silver award status.
