New in 2008 :

ICE 2008 has adopted an environmental dimension in keeping with the existing sporting, security conscious and social spirit .Our natural playground is becoming more and more precious and we would like to combine habit with" green" awareness. The huge Bivouac evening was one of the high points of the event with big bonfires, giant cauldrons of soup and mulled wine, films, entertainment and shows, and night in tents.
