Sylvie Becaert Biathlon Stadium

The Sylvie Becaert Biathlon Stadium is a competition venue in Le Grand-Bornand situated at approximately 930 meters (3,050 feet) elevation in the mountain landscape. It includes one shooting range with 30 targets and five running tracks that wind through the natural terrain.

The stadium was named after French biathlete Sylvie Becaert and received the International Biathlon Union A-license for hosting Olympic-standard events. This designation established it as a recognized international competition venue for professional biathlon athletes.

The venue is named after French biathlete Sylvie Becaert, honoring her sporting accomplishments. The facility serves the local community as a center for both winter and summer sporting events throughout the year.

Shuttle bus services operate from Thônes to the venue during major competitions, providing access for large crowds. Roads leading to the location are clearly marked, making it easy to find if you follow local signage.

Most of the competition infrastructure is temporary and removable, with roughly 80 percent of facilities being mobile and installed only for events. This allows the land to be used for agricultural activities and other purposes throughout the rest of the year.
