The «La Coupe de la Montagne» (Mountain Cup) is an international all adult competition hosted by
GLISS ‘XS and is held at the Patinoire Villard-de-Lans.
(The rink was used for preliminary round hockey games in the 1968 Olympics.)
I wish to thank Xavier Debernis and Barbara Standke for organizing this very special event.
