Megève classic car competition excites crowds
The annual parade of classic cars was once again met with enthusiasm at the “l’élégance à Megève”.
Big brands were spotted among the retro cars, with Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Mini and Alfa Romeo among the 50 vehicles shown off by their owners.
The competition took place over the weekend of 17th-19th January, with 3 prizes being handed out. The “Most Beautiful Modern Car” award was given to a Bugatti Chiron, while the “Most Beautiful Vintage Car” was handed to a 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The coveted “Best of the Show” award was given to a 1955 Pegaso.
It’s always a friendly atmosphere with music, food and drink and a sort of driveway catwalk where each owner slowly moves up and down to the delight of the onlooking crowd.
Megève is part of the Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area and has quick access to resorts like Chamonix and Les Houches. It’s also where an episode of hit Netflix series Emily in Paris was filmed.
Maisie Adam headlines Les Gets Comedy Festival
The annual Les Gets Comedy Festival kicks off on the 25th January with a mixture of French and English acts to entertain skiers in the resort.
While French comedians fill the majority of slots, the final night is exclusively in English, with four names providing the entertainment on the 31st.
One is Maisie Adam, who makes regular appearances on Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, QI, and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
Another is Catherine Bohart, who has appeared on TV on Live at The Apollo, The Mash Report, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week among others, while Ian Smith and Pierre Novellie - both with TV-writing credits - complete the lineup.
It all takes place at La Colombière theatre up the northern end of Les Gets - although still easily walkable from the centre.
Les Gets is part of the famous Portes du Soleil ski area, which connects with resorts like Morzine, Avoriaz, Châtel and Champéry.
Kitzbühel Snow Polo World Cup draws in crowds once again
The Snow Polo World Cup might be one of the most unique events you’ll find in the mountains, and the excited crowd got another fantastic tournament over the weekend of 17th-19th January.
With 12 games overall and 16 teams taking part, onlookers (who can watch for free) get to see over 200 beautiful horses put to work in front of a spectacular backdrop. The annual event - now in its 22nd year - also puts on entertainment and top-class cuisine off the field.
If you have no idea, then think of Polo as similar to hockey but with riders on horses trying to hit the ball into the opponent’s goal with a long wooden stick.
The organisers also put on a free shuttle bus for people staying in Kitzbühel town centre to get to and from the matches. Next year’s tournament takes place on 15th-18th January 2026.
Kitzbühel, in Austria, is highly regarded for its skiing and has 233km of ski runs, served by an excellent ski lift infrastructure.
