Peak summer and August has it all, with events and activities to suit everyone.
This weekend sees the 13th edition of the Pass'portes du Soleil mountain bike event, and thousands of people are descending on the area.
They came and they conquered… Despite temperatures close to 40 degrees, 11,158 cyclists completed this year’s Etape du Tour which ended in Morzine.
As 15,000 people cycled the penultimate stage of the Tour de France 2016, from Megeve to Morzine in the Etape du Tour on Sunday, the drama of the actual race was unfolding in the Pyrenees.
Since it first began in Whistler in 2004 Crankworx has grown to be one of the biggest events in the mountain bike calendar, with extra dates added in Rotorua, New Zealand and France.
From tough endurance challenges to speedy mountain sprints…it’s time to go bike crazy!
The Burton Stash Gathering returns on Wednesday with an amateur snowboard competition that is open to both male and female riders. The competition features a jam format, with groups of riders heading off with one or two judges following them down. The judges then decide who goes through to the next round until the finals. Prizes include Burton, Analog and Red products.
Another fun packed, event filled week in Morzine & Les Gets with everything from BBQs, outdoor film nights to beer pong..
February was dominated by the Alpine Skiing World Championships, held every second year, which kicked off in St Moritz on 6th February. Over 13 days, 589 athletes from 76 countries competed in eleven competitions in front of 165,000 spectators.
July brings with it all sorts of sporting events. This year we have the EURO 2016 hosted in France at the start of the month, the annual tennis tournamant at Wimbledon and Formula 1 action at Silverstone, Budapest and Hockenheim.
Whether you're here to cycle or just to enjoy some of the incredible scenery and landscapes of the Portes du Soleil, there are events throughout the summer to make your stay in this magical place even more special. From music to sport, bikes to cars, Lady Gaga to Toto, there's something for everyone, and 2015 promises to be pretty amazing!
The Relentless Freeze Festival did exactly what it said on the tin and those not wearing their ski jackets could be found with teeth chattering, huddled around the vin chaud stand wrapping themselves in a fruity alcoholic blanket.
Chris Froome won his third Criterium du Dauphine race yesterday as the race came to a conclusion in Superdévoluy.
Crankworx found a new European home this summer, moving from Les 2 Alpes to Les Gets, where it will stay for at least the next three years and what a success it's been...
It's going to be another fun week in Morzine with lots of apres ski parties going on that you really shouldn't miss.
The London Freeze is the ski and snowboard event that brings together international live music acts and some of the world's best riders. The two day festival is the last weekend in October and in 2011 we caught up with X-Games medalist James Wooods for a chat about his Olympic hopes.
The weather thankfully held off long enough for yesterday's European whip off competition in Les Gets to take place and spectators were treated to huge air and lots of style as competitors battled it out for the prize money.
