Saddle up for the Morzine/Avoriaz road bike climb… riders following the winding road that leads to Avoriaz will attempt to beat the 33 minute record set by Bernard Hinault during the Tour de France in 1979.
Exhibition and trials of off-road and mountain leisure vehicles
Val d’Isère reinvents the 4-wheel drive and off-road motor show created in 1984.
A new name, new organisation and a new concept are all planned for one of the main events of the alpine summer season.
Car manufacturers and retailers will be housed in a 9000sq m village on the wide plain of La Daille. The latest models will be displayed and numerous innovations presented.
Two test areas: one near the village for SUV vehicles and one at the top of Bellevarde for off-road vehicles.
Every summer Tignes hosts the annual Fete de Vin de France - Festival of the Wines of France. The main street, usually home to the market on Thursdays and Sundays, will be populated with white wine tasting tents as far as the eye can see. Well…at least as far as the end of the road anyway. Vinyards from all over France will be represented offering everything from big reds to pink Champagne and everything in between. This is a great chance to try a variety of wines and to stock up your wine cellar. The festival runs for 5 days in the centre of Le Lac.
26th July - 1st August
The Morzine Outdoor Sports Festival is a multi-disciplinary event open to all. It is unique in showcasing top athletes and fun family activities.
1 week of free activities! During the Festival.
The principe is simple: every day from 5pm a sport will be showcased in the village centre.
The outdoor sports fair planned outside the Tourist Office will feature the main players in the field who are taking part in the Festival with their latest gear on show.
Morzine has great respect for the mountains and an ecology exhibition is planned to raise awareness on the subject.
If sport is one vital ingredient of this year’s Outdoor Sports Festival then having fun is another. Concerts, shows, theme nigths,…in short, a coordinated entertainments programme to ensure a friendly atmosphere.
