Virtus Event Announcement (Nov 1, 2024):
Host Cities for 2025 Virtus World Championships For Multiple Sports Announced
Virtus is thrilled to reveal the host cities for the 2025 Virtus World Championships in Swimming, Nordic Skiing, Alpine Skiing, and Table Tennis. These premier global events will see top athletes with intellectual impairments competing at world-class venues across four vibrant cities.
The 2025 Virtus World Nordic Skiing Championship will be hosted by Virtus France, Fédération Française du Sport Adapté (FFSA) in Bessans, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The event will commence from 8 March until 14 March. Since 2016, FFSA has organized more than 10 Virtus European and World Championships, including the 2023 Virtus Global Games and Virtus expects nothing less than another spectacular event.
Located at an altitude of 1750 m, Bessans is a traditional village, typical of Haute Maurienne, bordering the Vanoise National Park and Italy. This authentic, family-friendly village is steeped in tradition and boasts a rich cultural heritage. Situated on a vast, sun-drenched plateau, snow-covered from November to April, Bessans, a village surrounded by glaciers and peaks over 3,000 metres, has become one of the undisputed references for cross-country skiing and biathlon, both in France and internationally.
More information about the events will be available soon from the Virtus organizers. (Athletes Without Limits will post event details for potential U.S. Team members on this event page as soon as they become available from Virtus.)
