Good luck to all running the Bouc Blanc race tomorrow. 18:00 Start.
Gondola running in to the evening for those going up to see the finish line (and a lift back down for the competitors). Does this “out of hours” service mean we could have something happen on a Saturday, like the pool and gondola open in Summer and have weekend visitors?
