Tignes Getting Set for the X Games!
Tignes is gearing up to host the third European Winter X Games this week, which takes place from March 14th – 16th.
Around 150 world-class athletes will be competing. There will be eight different competitions for men and women over three days with SuperPipe events in both skiing and snowboarding, a hair-raising Slopestyle course, plus lots of demos, live shows, and airbag and big air events. This year's Games also see the inclusion of Shaun White, Olympic gold medallist and X Games USA veteran – this year is the first time he'll be taking part in the European event.
If you're in Tignes or fancy heading to Tignes to catch a piece of the action see the programme of events here – and best of all it's all free to watch! Local hero, Kevin Rolland, talks about how it feels to go for Gold at last year's X Games:

Now the Games are over and the crowds have dissipated you can enjoy the area yourself, whether you are an expert or novice skier/snowboarder. Make the most of the chance to use the slopes that recently supported champions by hiring a tignes chalet throughout your stay.
