Overview

The Télécabine Le Rosay is a primary transport lift in the Le Grand-Bornand ski resort area, connecting the village center to the Le Rosay plateau. It serves as a central access point for both winter alpine skiing and summer mountain activities, including hiking and mountain biking. The lift station is positioned at the base of the Aravis mountain range. The summit area at Le Rosay provides direct access to a network of trails and recreational facilities suited for families and intermediate skiers. It acts as a gateway to the high-altitude pastures and diverse alpine terrain of the Haute-Savoie region.

Photo spot

Insider tips

Check the official resort website for real-time wind and weather status, as the lift may close during high-wind events.

In summer, verify that the lift is operating for pedestrian access before ascending, as schedules vary by season.

Pack layers even in summer, as the temperature at the top station is significantly cooler than in the village.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to hike up the service roads during active ski season; avoid arriving during the daily peak morning rush if you are a beginner.

Good to know

Operates on a seasonal basis; closed during the shoulder months of May, June, and November for maintenance.

Etiquette

Maintain silence inside the cabin; mountain bikers must load their own equipment onto provided racks.
