TESTIMONY
Stéphane Bouthiaux: Team Manager of Men Biathlon France
I immediately joined the idea.
Even if I never had the opportunity to travel the whole route in one go, I know only too well the magic of all sites to be worn crossed the soles of my skis, my sneakers or my VTT tires since my earliest childhood.
I have never given a bib in ski racing since I am in charge of the team World Cup biathlon but I think I'll be in attendance at this event a new source of motivation and pleasure.
Closer to my current personal aspirations than pure competition, I think this event is much closer to the spirit of nature and the atmosphere of trails and ultra endurance which are both currently in vogue. All this in a Nordic winter and atmosphere for the delight of aficionados of cross country ski .
