Around the campsite
Le Petit-Bornand is quiet but not remote: the Aravis resorts are a quarter of an hour away, Annecy and Geneva less than an hour.
Updated 4 November 2026
The campsite is in Le Petit-Bornand, in the Borne valley, away from the big resorts. That is what keeps it quiet, and yet the region's main destinations are close. The times below come from two independent route planners (IGN and OpenStreetMap), to each town hall, without traffic: in July and August, add 20 to 40%.
- Le Grand-Bornand: 11.8 km, 15 to 17 min
- Saint-Jean-de-Sixt: 11.4 to 11.5 km, 14 to 16 min
- Bonneville: 11.2 km, 15 to 21 min
- La Clusaz: 14.3 km, 17 to 21 min
- Thônes: about 20 km, 25 to 32 min
- Mont-Saxonnex: about 21 km, 30 to 40 min
- Geneva: 32 to 34 km, 34 to 39 min
- Annecy: about 50 min, depending on the route
