The best restaurants and parties for New Year

A Savoyard dinner is an excellent way to start the evening of December 31. Le Grand-Bornand has many places offering traditional cuisine based on mountain products. Among the establishments to discover, La Table du Chalet offers authentic and seasonal cuisine using local products, in a warm setting complemented by alpine cocktails and fire pits.

If you are looking for a more traditional address, La Ferme du Pépé is a must; set in a characterful chalet, the restaurant highlights Savoyard fondue and homemade cuisine that will delight your taste buds. Finally, for a dinner in a more mountain-style setting, La Bournerie, located at Le Chinaillon on the slopes, offers Savoyard and cheese specialties in a former alpine farm. The establishment also indicates it offers special holiday menus and had organized a specific menu for New Year’s Eve during the previous season.

For New Year’s Eve, however, it is essential to inquire directly with the establishments regarding special menus, prices, times, and any parties organized on December 31. This information may differ from the usual schedule, so be sure to check before your arrival in Le Grand-Bornand.

Practical tips for organizing your stay

If you plan to visit Le Grand-Bornand for the New Year and fully enjoy your stay, here are a few practical tips that might be useful before your arrival in the Alps:

  • Book your accommodation and activities in advance: certain places remain very popular in winter in Le Grand-Bornand, such as chalets or restaurants. Consequently, it is advisable to book them a few weeks, or even months, in advance to have a choice and sometimes more affordable prices; a little tip: visit our site to get an overview of your New Year in the Aravis massif. Additionally, as some activities have limited spots, such as snowmobiling for example, plan ahead and quickly choose what you want to do for the end-of-year holidays.
  • Dress warmly and equip yourself accordingly: during the day, temperatures are quite cold, and evenings are much colder. So remember to pack a thick coat, fur-lined boots, a hat, and a scarf in your suitcase, especially if you are celebrating New Year’s Eve outdoors!
