This year’s Mondial VTT was blessed with sunshine and clear blue skies. Once again the resort of Les Deux Alpes played host to the international mountain bike festival which had stalls from all the major brands.
Details have just been announced for two events this summer – one familiar and one brand new. The 2 Alpes Outdoor Festival on 24th-25th June will be followed by the eighteenth edition of the Mountain of Hell mountain bike race the weekend after
With a busy festive fortnight coming to an end, we bring you a rundown of the highlights of the last two weeks.
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.
December is when the lifts are opening and the Christmas holidays are on the horizon.
The glacier in Les 2 Alpes opened this weekend and in the region of 3,000 people arrived in resort to get their first skiing and snowboarding of the season done.
It's the school holidays, the resort is full of families and it's getting a little warmer.
The Mountain of Hell MTB race is now in its 17th year and the 2016 edition saw 700 mountain bikers take part from no less than 18 different countries. For the first time this year there was a children's race with 23 competitors taking part, and 16 women also joined the ranks - I was one of them.
Now in its fifth year, the Deux Alpes Night Snow Trail has become something of a fixture on the resort’s calendar. A growing number of trail running aficionados are choosing their skiing holiday dates each winter to allow them to compete in the race.
Saturday saw around thirty classic cars, vans and bikes assemble in the square for a brand-new event in Les Deux Alpes; the Vintage Motor Show.
As 15,000 people cycled the penultimate stage of the Tour de France 2016, from Megeve to Morzine in the Etape du Tour on Sunday, the drama of the actual race was unfolding in the Pyrenees.
The London Freeze is the ski and snowboard event that brings together international live music acts and some of the world's best riders. The two day festival is the last weekend in October and in 2011 we caught up with X-Games medalist James Wooods for a chat about his Olympic hopes.
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.
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.
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.
The Mountain of Hell is back for its 20th edition, this time with a Clash of the Titans theme, on June 28th-30th 2019. The event attracts around 700 riders each year and has been hugely popular since its debut in 1999.
There are many trail races in the Deux Alpes area, but the Vertical Trail weekend is reserved for two of the steepest, most gruelling hill-climbs on the calendar.
