Defi Foly to close the season for La Clusaz
Published : 25-Apr-2014 08:38
End of Season party for Lake Annecy Ski Resorts this weekend with the 'Defy Foly' in La ClusazFor the last 26 years the crazy "Défi Foly" has been the final event of the winter season.
Taking place this year on 26th-27th April 2014 it sees sportsmen and women competing on skis, mono skis, snowboards, or anything that slides!
Not on snow… The aim is to slide the longest distance over the Confins Lake! Launched in 1986, over 150 competitors compete each year in front of thousands of spectators.
Just for fun…The star attraction of this weekend of fun and frolics has to be the OGNI event, otherwise known as Unidentified Floating Objects (UFOs), floating inventions - anything goes. These elaborate creations provide a hilarious end to the event, as the spectators witness their sometimes catastrophic descent into the icy waters of the Confins Lake in the exceptional surroundings of the Confins, overlooked by the magnificent Aravis mountains.
New to the event - Freeride World Champion(s) celebrated
On Sunday, around noon, the resort will celebrate the Freeride World Champion title of La Clusaz's Loïc Collomb-Patton (and the Junior champions also from the region, Illona Carlod and Arthur Raskin) at the lake.
