After heavy snowfalls, an irresistible urge arises. You know the one of hurtling down virgin slopes, free of obstacles, of having the mountain to yourself, of being free and connected to the elements. The reputation of the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area is well established. The practice of freeride is almost a religion.

The area offers one of the best freeride spots in the Alps, a large part of which is accessible from the ski lifts. However, off-piste sessions are not to be taken lightly, the mountain remains an unstable natural environment, that's why, here are the 3 tips to make your outing perfect and safe.

Are you used to riding in the forest? How about adding a bit of flavour to your mountain biking practice? Get yourself a full-suspension bike and come and experience the thrills of “DH” on the runs for all levels in the Bike Park Tignes – Val d’Isère!

En été, on aime profiter des beaux jours pour s’aérer et faire du sport en extérieur. Les températures, parfois élevées, contraignent notre corps à s’adapter et à éliminer par sudation ce surplus de chaleur interne.

Pratiquer un sport avec de fortes chaleurs peut donc entraîner une déshydratation qui aura des conséquences sur la performance mais de manière plus générale sur la santé. Comment éviter la déshydratation ? Explication et bons réflexes, découvrez les bonnes pratiques de la marque Oxsitis.

The ski lifts may not be open, but we still have many ideas for you to keep exploring the mountains! What if this winter was the right time to try snowshoeing?

He or she said “yes”! Your friends are now counting on you to organise a stag or hen do worthy of the upcoming event, to strike a balance between original activities and relaxing moments to look back on half-funny/half-cute (or utterly mortifying!) episodes that punctuated season 1 of their life as a couple.

Like all disciplines, freestyle has its jargon... which is enough to puzzle neophytes! Don't you know whether you should be happy that your best friend has "landed their first 720 air"? When you hear “table” and “reception”, do you think more of a banquet than a snow obstacle? Do you understand absolutely nothing about the commentators of the Olympic Games who rave about the slopestyle, big air or halfpipe events? Here are 10 basic words to remember to be part of the community of freestyle fans!

During the various sporting events organised in the resort of Tignes, it is always necessary to decide between the competitors. To do this, judges are called upon to give a verdict, to distribute the points and scores which will then allow a ranking to be established and thus to designate the winner of the event. How are the athletes judged? Who are the judges in charge of this shadowy mission that is so crucial to any sporting event? Focus on this job like no other with William Cochet, judge this season on the French Freeride Series event.
