Event Previews & Reviews from Les Arcs

It's the school holidays and the resort is full to the brim with families.

There is only a month left before the ski-lifts reopen and, whilst thoughts naturally turn to the snowy slopes, the start of the season also brings a wealth of “extra-curricular” entertainments to keep you feeling good during your stay. Les Arcs has got so much to give this year, so here is our brief introduction to what’s going on this winter.

Meet Ben Kilner one of Britian's best halpipe snowboarders. 

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.

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.

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

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.

Episode four of One Team to Sochi is out and it's all about the young lad from Bradford; Jamie Nicholls.

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 unique brainchild of Henrik Harlaut and Phil Casabon aka. B-Dog & E-Dollo known simply as the B&E Invitational, is back in Les Arcs for it’s third year, ready to wow the crowds and lay down some of the sickest tricks by the some of the sickest skiers on the planet.
