The Festival

On the slopes

A unique event in Europe, this unusual musical rendezvous is open to lift pass holders. For one week, the 12 resorts of the Portes du Soleil will be living to the rhythm of the Rock the pistes festival, offering skiers pure sensations of skiing and sound. At each concert, festival-goers can enjoy an ephemeral stage right in the heart of the mountains and the Franco-Swiss ski area, with views of the Dents du Midi, for example.

The only Festival on the slopes!

Rock the Pistes is the pioneer of high-altitude festivals and the only one truly on the slopes!
Every winter for over ten years, the Rock the Pistes festival has delighted music and ski fans by creating a unique high-altitude experience. Fans can hit the slopes in the morning and enjoy open-air concerts in the afternoon, featuring French and international rock artists such as Chinese Man, Kesiah Jones, Babyschambles, Shaka Ponk, Selah Sue, Caravan Palace, Skip the Use, Ben l’Oncle Soul, Cali, and many more. The combination promises a perfect mix of skiing, sunshine and sound all winter long!

Next edition of the festival: from 15 to 21 March 2026!

ROCK THE PISTES is THE not-to-be-missed festival in Europe! Imagine this: you’re skiing, you’re on the slopes with your mates, and all of a sudden, bam, you hear that there’s a concert going on not far away. How cool is that? It’s Rock the Pistes, the coolest thing that happens between the end of March and the beginning of April in the 12 resorts of the Portes du Soleil. It’s the week when the mountains become the ultimate playground for skiers and music lovers alike. Let’s rock the pistes, guys!
