and lend our experience to Le Grand-Bornand, a resort with which we are extremely
complementary. We thus combine the advantages of a large town with the attractions
of an authentic mountain village. Annecy is committed to the values conveyed by sport:
social integration, life in a community and respect for others. It is for this very reason
that we also invest great sums to ensure that all locals have the opportunity to practice
sport from a very early age.
In parallel to supporting local sports clubs, investing in sports facilities and local
associations, sport in schools and sports entertainment, the town of Annecy has also
chosen to invest in the organization of important sports events.
Beyond the participants and numerous spectators attracted by this type of event
(contributing to the vitality of Annecy), events like these also mobilize a number
of volunteers, a great force for our region. This World Cup event will once again
demonstrate this and I sincerley hope that the weather is good to help make this event
a popular and sporting success. "

An eco-friendly competition
The biathlon stadium perfectly integrates the surrounding natural environment.
Situated within the perimeter of a listed building, the stadium was built in collaboration
with the National Association of Architects.
The shooting wall, for example, was built from local stone in an attempt to preserve the
authentic character of the site.
By successfully combining tourism, alpine farming and the preservation of the
environment, Le Grand-Bornand has become a reference in the Alps. Yet another asset
to strengthen its position amongst the most beautiful winter sports resorts in France.
