As every year since 2018, the cross-country ski resort of Bessans is the first in France to open its slopes. The first tracks are available by means of snow-farming. The resort stored 16,000m3 of snow at the end of last winter under a thick layer of sawdust and spread it over the biathlon ring this week.

The tracks are open from November 4, 2023 at 8 a.m. for champions and from 1 p.m. for the general public. Wax your cross-country skis, we are waiting for you here: Bonneval-sur-Arc

Snow farming at Bessans

A pile of snow under sawdust

As there’s still snow, we’re storing it for next year.

This is the snow farming technique : we make a pile of snow at the end of the season ; we protect it all summer long under a layer of sawdust ; we put it back on the slopes at the beginning of the next season. It allows the opening of the cross-country ski trails in Bessans at the end of October. Do you remember ?
