Event Previews & Reviews from Alpe d'Huez

Rumours about Tomorrowland coming to the Alps began to rumble in March 2017 and it soon became apparent that Alpe d’Huez was amongst the forerunners to host this epic event. The rumours became official in March 2018, and it’s been all systems go since then.

That's it for another epic week of riding and racing at the 2016 Megavalanche.. the snow was deeper and longer than it's been in the past 5 years, creating much more challenging conditions for the riders taking part this year.

This week in Alpe d’Huez sees the 2016 edition of the RedMountain Ski Event which is organised in conjunction with Danski.
