If you come by car, it’s advisable to park in the parking lot of your chalet or residence and no longer use your vehicle during the 4 days of competition. Depending on your accommodation, access to the stadium by foot or ski bus.
If you come by train, Annecy SNCF station is served by the regular line 62 – 63 Annecy – Le Grand-Bornand.
– Online booking:www.transdevhautesavoie.com
– Arrival / departure from Grand-Bornand, stop at “Aire de loisirs” (entrance to the bus station) and connection with buses to “Chinaillon” and “la vallée du Bouchet / Nant-Robert”.
– As traffic is very heavy at the end of the events and especially on Sundays, it is strongly recommended to allow a much longer access time for your return to the station.
Due to a very limited and constrained parking, carpooling or public transit is the preferred option. Buses will drop you off at the gates of the biathlon stadium.
Choose carpooling for your trips with Mov’ici to access the car park relays at Thônes (if you take the A41) and Entremont (if you take the A40), and then join Le Grand-Bornand by free shuttles.
