Here's our top 3 events not to be missed this season...
Fun, Free, For all
Les Gets
Skicolour, 31 January 2015
In a world first, this season Les Gets will host SkiColor, a unique, colourful concept that combines skiing & having fun. Based on the popular event The Colour Run, for the first time ever, participants will ski down a specially prepared run on the Mont-Chéry side of the resort. In a unique setting facing Mont Blanc, skiers will be literally immersed in explosions of colour for an unforgettable experience!
Spectacular, Stunning, Suspense
Verbier
Freeride World Tour, 28 March 2015
The Freeride World Tour visits Chamonix, Austria, Andorra, and Alaska this season before arriving in Verbier for the grand finale and the 20th anniversary of the Xtreme Verbier. With the likes of local Verbier legend Xavier de le Rue and Chamonix's Aurelien Ducroz hopefully taking part, the Xtreme Verbier is truly a one to watch event if you are thinking of skiing in Verbier at the end of March
Entertaining, Energetic, Exciting
Avoriaz
Rock the Pistes, Portes du Soleil, 15-21 March 2015
The fifth edition of this major music festival will take place again in Avoriaz in March. For the duration of the festival (which is unique in Europe) a ski pass is all you need to see unique concerts on the slopes in the Portes du Soleil. There are 5 big-name acts to see, performing every afternoon on one-off snow stages. There’s also a Second Stage with concerts at the end of the day and a festival too.
Enjoy!
