We truly enjoyed our ski trip at Le Grand Bornand (about 30km from Annecy in the Alps, less than an hour bus ride from Annecy train station), very charming Savoie town, friendly people.
Absolutely love the hotel that we chose (Hotel La Croix St Maurice), very family-friendly, super clean and nice welcoming staff. http://www.hotel-lacroixstmaurice.com/ From our balcony, we had a 270 degree view of the mountain, the church right in front of the hotel, the view was just amazing! We opted for the demi-pension option that included breakfasts and dinners. Breakfasts was simple but wholesome, dinners were great, something to look forward to after a skiing day. You can even choose to include lunches but we didn't want to leave the trails. :P There was also a sauna room and hot tub in the hotel where you can relax. For the price, we thought it was more than what we could ask for. The owner also has a few studios/ apartments in the area which are easily accessible by the local shuttle buses (free), if you prefer having a kitchen or have a bigger family.
There is a childcare facility run by the mairie, not really right across the street from the hotel as advertised, but about 10 mins walk away (also within the bus route).
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel - the owner and staff did a great job in keeping the place nice, clean, and welcoming. Thanks!
