Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

From tough endurance challenges to speedy mountain sprints…it’s time to go bike crazy! 

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.

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.

Spring has arrived and there's plenty of things to do in Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz to keep you entertained.

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.

All good things must come to an end and after ten hugely successful years the Cavern 24/7 film festival is going to be having its final fling this year.

It's going to be another fun week in Morzine with lots of apres ski parties going on that you really shouldn't miss.

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.

Live music, parties, and plenty going on this week.

Stage 17 of the Tour de France 2016 took the riders from Bern, the capital of Switzerland, to Finaut-Emosson on the Swiss-French border, just around the corner from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
