Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

Despite a cancellation on the day of qualifiers, the finals went ahead as planned.

Summer may be drawing slowly to a close but there's still plenty going on in Avoriaz, Morzine & Les Gets before the lifts shut. 

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.

For the 8th year running, the madness and chaos of the Cavern 24-7 Film Festival descended on Morzine in March. Pirates, reprobates and fire-breathing snowboarders were spotted flying down the slopes in Avoriaz, swinging off bridges in Morzine Town Centre and causing a scene in a bar near you.

Over the weekend, motorways across France were gridlocked with people travelling out of Paris on holiday, queues as long as 880km stretched across the country. 

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.

The winter season might be starting to wind down but this week in town promises to be a huge one!

As I got out of bed this morning to start the working week I began to regret our decision to head through to Les Gets early on Sunday and to make the most of the day by riding from start to finish with only a 45 minute break...

More than 700 cyclists took part in the weekends Grand Trophee Cycling Event and that was just the beginning….
