Cross-country skiing race at night
Teams of two compete in the races. Each skier does one lap of the course before handing over the relay to their partner, and this is repeated several times. The “rondes nocturnes” night races are always a very friendly occasion, shared with partners and the large crowd of spectators who come to encourage the racers.
