More than 100,000 applications to attend the 2009 Alpine World Ski Championships in Val d’Isere in February have been received by the event organisers.
Spectators will be able to attend the Championships, which are to take place in Val d’Isère between the 2nd and 15th of February, completely free of charge.

This concept has been a great success so far!”

commented spokeswoman Beatrice Hutter.
All 100 000 who have expressed their desire to attend the races will be able to watch the races as guests of Savoie Mont Blanc Tourism. Some will travel by train as guests of the Rhône-Alpes region in association with French National Railways (SNCF) and by transfer coach as guests of Savoy County Council.
