Varied Route, adapted pace for the Rallye Neige et Glace 2024

Although it will have to wait until autumn and winter to be fully validated during the reconnaissance sessions already scheduled, the Route will offer unprecedented variety and a different tempo, entirely refocused around Malbuisson, the charming village in the Hauts Doubs where the Neige et Glace Rally has been based for over a decade.

​

A ‘DRIVERS CLUB’ ON THE PARC FERMÉ

​

To further enhance the conviviality that is the DNA of the Neige et Glace Rally, a Drivers Club dedicated to the crews, partners and press will be set up in the Parc Fermé at Malbuisson, allowing everyone to share their experience of the day with a drink in hand, while sampling some local specialities.
