La Clusaz from the Petit-Bornand campsite: 20 minutes away (Glières-Val-de-Borne)

La Clusaz is one of the big Aravis resorts, a little over 14 km from the campsite, about twenty minutes by road to the town hall. For our guests it is the perfect "resort day" before heading back to the calm of Le Petit-Bornand.

Lac des Confins

Lac des Confins is La Clusaz's must-see summer spot. We found no clear bylaw on swimming: ask locally before getting into the water.

The bike park

In summer, La Clusaz's bike park opens its downhill trails served by the lifts. In 2026 it ran daily in July and August, and on some weekends in June and September. The number of trails and the prices differ between sources: check the resort's official website before you come.

The market and the Reblochon festival

La Clusaz's market is held on Monday mornings all year, on the church square. Every summer the resort above all hosts the Fête du Reblochon et de l'Artisanat: reblochon made in a copper vat, craftspeople, a parade. In 2026 it took place on Sunday 9 August. Don't be confused: the reblochon festival is in La Clusaz, not in Thônes.

From the campsite

La Clusaz is about twenty minutes away by car. Combine it with Le Grand-Bornand or with Thônes and its reblochon cooperative. In July and August, allow 20 to 40% more time for traffic.

Why stay in Le Petit-Bornand?

Camping Les Marronniers is away from the resorts, by the Borne river, in a quiet mountain village, yet only about twenty minutes from La Clusaz and a quarter of an hour from Le Grand-Bornand. Enjoy the Aravis by day and the calm of the valley in the evening.
