Biathlon Challenge La Clusaz

HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS — A PROGRESSION TOWARDS OLYMPIC LEVEL !

Phase 1 — Rifle Shooting Discovery

Discover this discipline in the company of our professional experts. A 22 long rifle in hand, you'll learn how to position correctly and gradually release your stance. Your sharp and focused eye guides your shots towards the targets set at 10 metres. With your breathing under control, calmly squeeze the trigger.

The fundamentals are taught progressively by our discipline experts — positioning, breathing, aiming and trigger release. Within minutes, every participant finds their footing and experiences the intense satisfaction of landing their first clean shot!

Phase 2 — Prone & Standing Shooting

The progression unfolds naturally : prone shooting first — the most stable position, ideal for beginners — then standing shooting, far more demanding in terms of balance and concentration. Two emblematic biathlon postures, two difficulty levels, two distinct challenges to test the precision and self-mastery of your teams.

Phase 3 — The Real Biathlon Session: Race & Shoot Combined!

If you wish, experience a genuine biathlon session by discovering the race — shoot combination. Physical effort precedes the aiming — and this is where the true magic of biathlon comes fully to life. Shooting while breathless, managing pressure, controlling your breathing in front of the target — an incomparable sensory and emotional experience, lived collectively in great spirits and genuine personal achievement.

LA CLUSAZ — AN OLYMPIC SETTING FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM BUILDING !

Practising biathlon at La Clusaz means immersing yourself in a territory profoundly tied to the culture of Nordic skiing and alpine winter sports. The Aravis massif, its dense forests, snow-covered landscapes and pure mountain air — every element of the setting amplifies each sensation and anchors the memory durably in your teams' minds.
