Friendly SUP championships accross the Alps
Clap, clap, clap, la GlaGla Race c’est fini ! Merci à tous les participants qui, malgré des conditions météo particulièrement difficiles, les plus difficiles rencontrées jusqu’à présent sur une étape de l’Alpine Lakes Tour (et il y en a eu !!), ont relevé le défi !

The GlaGla Race is definitely not your average SUP race. While paddleboarding usually conjures up images of boardshorts, sun and sand, GlaGla takes the opposite approach. Instead of sand it’ll be snow, and in place of boardies you’ll find full-length winter gear.
But those paddlers who aren’t afraid of the cold will certainly be rewarded: Lake Annecy (or lac d’Annecy) is a beautiful part of the world, with the Alps rising high above the lake to create lasting imagery.
Named after the French equivalent of “Brrr, it’s freezing!” the “GlaGla” race will be a very special way to kick off the new year. For those who can make the trip to the Alps near the border between France and Switzerland, the event offers a full day of winter racing with several different courses on offer, while the sight of 300+ paddlers charging off the line will surely be something to behold (let’s get those drones going).”
