From tough endurance challenges to speedy mountain sprints…it’s time to go bike crazy!
Magda is back with a round up of the best events this week in Morzine.. and you'd be crazy to miss Le Tour de France which arrives here on Saturday 23rd July in the penultimate stage before they finish in Paris.
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.
Live music, parties, and plenty going on this week.
Magical March is here, we enjoy longer and warmer days with some great skiing.
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.
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.
There's a lot going on this week with some great events, live music and apres ski parties.
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.
The London Ski and Snowboard show is for many the first event of the winter. Pick up the latest kit, catch up with friends and enjoy the party. It'll be a couple of months before you can do it for real.
Billy Morgan is one of the Britian's best chances of a Freestyle snowboarding medal at the Sochi Olympics.
Peak summer and August has it all, with events and activities to suit everyone.
Les Gets bike park always opens a few weekends before the lifts are open full time for the summer season and this year's dates have just been announced.
So far we've seen not only some fantastic racing, stunning scenery and nail-biting sprints from the 2016 Tour de France, but we've witnessed several unusual crashes, the yellow jersey literally running up Mont Ventoux and more than one incident of an over-enthusiastic fan causing disruption.
We've technically only got one month to go until the lifts close and interseason descends on the Portes du Soleil. However before it does, we have an amazing month of fun and events ahead.
For petrol heads in the Alps the Mont Blanc Rally is one of the big events of the summer.
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.
The beautiful vistas and the lively, friendly town keep Parkour Generations coming back year after year.
