Event Previews & Reviews from Les 2 Alpes

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

Les Deux Alpes’ unusual trail running challenge returned for its sixth and perhaps its toughest instalment this weekend.

Some competitors had a shorter run and others a longer one but all had a difficult time trying to race through deep snow.

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.

As the best freeriders in the world gather in Revelstoke this weekend for the first stop on the all-new Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face, we were fortunate to be able to have a sit down with a free skiing legend, holder of the world record for the highest cliff jump and super nice guy - Fred Syversen.
