Sommaire

Tickets go on sale all at once this year

Big news for the 2026 edition: unlike in previous years, when 4-day passes went on sale a week before single-day tickets, all tickets are available from the same date. 4-day passes and day tickets therefore went on sale simultaneously at 10 a.m. on Monday, October 5.

Tickets can only be purchased on the event’s official website or at the Le Grand-Bornand Tourist Office ticket desk. Reservations cannot be made by phone. Please note: purchasing a pass entitles you to one ticket, valid for all four days of competition.

Le Grand-Bornand, a biathlon stronghold

Following 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025, the Haute-Savoie resort is once again hosting the World Cup, confirming its status as an unmissable stop on the circuit. The 2025 edition left fans with great memories: the men’s sprint was the closest in biathlon history, with six athletes finishing within less than nine seconds of one another. The season ended with Frenchman Éric Perrot winning the big Crystal Globe. All of which promises an electric atmosphere in the stands this December.

How do you get to the stadium?

Traffic in the valley is very heavy during the event, so special World Cup shuttle buses will run from December 10 to 13. Visitors are strongly encouraged to use them instead of driving. Timetables and departure points are available on the event’s official website.
