Le Grand-Bornand
Individual ski touring race with dry ascent at night, organised by the Grand-Bornand ski lift company in partnership with the ESF. This race is on the calendar of the French Mountain and Climbing Federation. Two routes with 800 m or 500 m of ascent.
Cancellation of the Grand-Bo Vertical Race.
Current and future snow and weather conditions do not allow the race to take place in good conditions of practice and safety, so it has been decided to cancel the event.
Indeed, the start from the Charmieux snow front is no longer possible, and the exit to the Lachat summit via the Lanches piste is not guaranteed due to a creeping slab threatening the piste, which is under daily surveillance.
Alternative routes have been studied, but these are proving too complicated to implement.
We thank you for your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
The organizing team.
