A little taste of the Olympics comes to Val Thorens, with the Snowboard Cross World Cup.

Four by four snowboarders compete and hurtle down the track quickly as possible.Only the first two of each run are qualified for the next stage until the grand finale.

Qualifications take place on the first day for men's and women's competitions.

The semi-finals and finals take place on the last few days as some of the biggest names in the sport compete for the title.
