Event Previews & Reviews from Avoriaz

It’s a new year and the town and the slopes are quieter, it’s one of the best times to visit.

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.

There's lots going on in the week ahead!

Dom Harington is a Halfpipe Snowboarder from Leeds who has missed the last two Olympics due to injuries after winning the Europa Cup Halfpipe. Sochi is probably his last chance to be part of the Olympics and he's giving it everything he has.

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 music to sport, bikes to cars, Lady Gaga to Toto, there's something for everyone, and 2015 promises to be pretty amazing!

Fête de la Musique is the celebration that takes place every summer solstice on 21st June in cities, towns and villages across France.

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.

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.
