Event Previews & Reviews from Avoriaz

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

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.

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.

After four exciting days of racing in the Alps, Chris Froome emerged victorious in Paris for the third win of his career. Equalling the records of Philippe Thys, Louison Bobet and Greg LeMond who all have three Tour wins under their belts, and becoming Britain's first three-time winner.

Le Tour de France 2016 kicked off last Saturday with stage one and the 'Grand Depart' being hosted by the stunning island community of Le Mont Saint Michel.

There's a lot going on this week with some great events, live music and apres ski parties.

Take a look at what's coming up on the events calendar this week, including RedBull crashed Ice riders cup and plenty more..

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.

Avoriaz hosts some great events each winter, from an epic opening day, to a whole host of music festivals, there's plenty to look forward to this winter.

How the team trains for the Olympics and how they came to be a team in the first place.

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.

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.

Chris Froome won his third Criterium du Dauphine race yesterday as the race came to a conclusion in Superdévoluy.
