Biathlon

Try biathlon in Bessans! Thanks to its international biathlon stadium, created in 1998, Bessans welcomes top-level biathletes all winter long, for whom Bessans is the ideal training ground: altitude and snow guaranteed! The stadium is open to all upon reservation, and introductory courses are offered throughout the season.

Biathlon is one of the hottest ski disciplines around. Do you follow the races on TV and wonder how the athletes manage to string together intense efforts followed by moments of concentration to reach tiny targets 50 meters away? In Bessans, you can enjoy skating down the slopes, then try your hand at rifle shooting.

The international biathlon stadium is accessible, and you can try your hand at it with the resort's professionals. First at 10 m with laser or pellet rifle, then at 50 m to feel the emotions of the greatest!
