Journey Altitude

It’s important to remember that you will be travelling at high altitude on your Geneva to La Grand Bornand, which might cause altitude sickness for some people. 

Geneva airport sits at 430m, while the resort of Le Grand Bornand lies at an elevation of 1,000m. Some passengers can experience mild discomforts, such as nausea, headaches and dizziness. That can be symptoms of the change in altitude. Young children are often those who are at risk of feeling unwell.

As a result of the combination between such air pressure and steep, serpentine roads, the journey can be difficult. In this situation, ask your driver to lower the temperature in the vehicle to help you feel more comfortable.

Hopefully, the breathtaking landscapes on your way to Le Grand Bornand from Geneva will act as a great medicine for you.
