Event Previews & Reviews from Avoriaz

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

More than half the season done, it's magical March and a chilled vibe settles on the resort.

It's the school holidays, the resort is full of families and it's getting a little warmer.

The Pass'Portes du Soleil is an annual event that marks the beginning of the summer cycling season in the Portes du Soleil.

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.

Murray Buchan a skier who grew up on the finger-snapping plastic of Edinburgh's Hillend made a choice to ski rather than play rugby and hopefully that choice will take hi to an Olympic medal.

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.

Meet Aimee Fuller Slopestyle Snowboarder, stunt double and one of the British Freestyle Snowboard Team.
