    Après Ski in Le Grand Bornand

    Much of the nightlife in Le Grand Bornand is subdued, this is mainly a family resort and therefore this resort doesn’t have the bar and après culture of other ski resorts. The Green Monkey is a popular bar with a relaxed atmosphere and normally has music playing after the lifts shut. For a late-night spot, head to the nightclub Lalu.
