An IOC commission has visited some mountain venues of Annecy's bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The 11-member team toured the snowboard, freestyle, cross-country and Nordic skiing venues in La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand on Thursday.

The International Olympic Committee evaluation commission members also planned to attend a fireworks display at the proposed medals plaza on the shores of the Annecy lake.

Annecy is competing against Munich and Pyeongchang, South Korea for the games.
