Our team, spear in hand
We come from all over Switzerland and also from abroad. To draw the blue lines for the 2027 Worlds, our Team Picasso will have around 30 volunteers. The work begins at the depot, well before the first mark on the snow.
One sprays while the other watches the terrain and checks that the line joins up. Then they swap.
In the huts and on the hill
At Cry d’Er, Bertrand looks after connectors, nozzles and batteries. Out on the hill, the pairs take over. Radio keeps both sides of the team in touch.

1987 2027
Little fir trees with a blue line.
At the 1987 World Championships in Crans-Montana, small fir trees were planted in the snow to indicate the direction to the athletes. Forty years later, the World Championships return to Mont Lachaux and the Nationale. It's our turn to give them directions, lance in hand.
