Back in December 2011, the Sylvie Becaert stadium hosted France’s World Cup stage for the first time, with more than 20,000 fans lining the Rosay loops—a watershed moment for Le Grand-Bornand and the French biathlon team. Between the Vallée du Bouchet and the village at 952 m, the venue pairs a 50 m range with rolling Nordic tracks that reveal how effort and precision lock together. You’ll handle a .22 LR, shoot prone with breath control, then pay the price on a 150 m penalty loop—just like the pros.
Collected from your hotel in Le Grand-Bornand or Chinaillon (about 10 minutes apart), you have your driver on standby for seamless shuttles between chalet, stadium, and, if you wish, the Rosay gondola. While gear is fitted, he confirms your lane booking so you can focus on the session. A mid-outing stop at La Ferme de Lormay, 6 km from the range, breaks up the half-day before an easy run back via Saint-Jean-de-Sixt. In the Aravis, having a dedicated chauffeur keeps the pace fluid and your hands free.

Your chauffeur’s tip
For cold, fast snow and a quiet range, book a weekday slot before 10:00 between mid-December and late January; secure lane and trail access at least 48 hours ahead during school holidays.
