French ski events 2014. A guide to what is on in the Alps in France this winter.
Although not a skiing event the Alpe d'Huez Androz trophy annual event attracts plenty of interest each year in December. Specially adapted rally cars speeding round an icy track in the mountains guarantees plenty of drama.
There are torch lit processions throughout the French Alps on Christmas Eve and Isola 2000 is one of the most enjoyable as more often than not there is a clear star filled sky.
The torch lit processions at La Rosiere begin on the 11th of December and run through to the 25th.
It is laser shows and fireworks which accompany the New Years eve torch lit procession in Les Deux Alps.
In January the stands are erected and the track prepared for the Isola 2000 Andros Trophy 2014 event.
Always a strange yet attractive sight the Val d'Isere Polo Masters Tour is held in January.
More polo in the snow at the end of January, beginning of February, this time in Courchevel with the second event of the winter, the BMW Polo Masters Tour.
The annual Les Houches Kandahar coupe du Monde de ski takes place on the iconic piste Verte les Houches.
The Winter X games in Tignes is growing into one of the major alpine events.
The appetite for festivals in the mountains towards the end of the season is also a growing trend and the Brits Festival in Tignes in March is at the forefront.
The Porte du Soleil gets in on the music scene with its Rock the Pistes festival. You can enjoy live music each afternoon at 13.30 with concerts held by the slopes in various resorts.
