Property in France may be the best way to enjoy the European Winter X Games year after year.

The extreme sports event takes place in Tignes, which claims to be the birthplace of freestyle skiing. The town is situated in the famous Rhone-Alpes region of France which is an ideal location for snow-sports.

The world’s top sportsmen and women will compete against each other in the air and on the pistes. Investing in property in France, more specifically the south-east, could help extreme sports enthusiasts experience the competition first-hand.

A brand new expert half-pipe has been constructed at the centre of the resort and Tignes has the highest concentration of world-class ski resorts in the world.

The event takes place on March 10th-12th and this is the first time the Winter X Games has been held in Europe – and success may mean it stays in Tignes for years to come.

The town’s proximity to the Grande Motte glacier ensures consistently good skiing conditions for ten months of the year.
