Rock The Pistes

Live music and skiing in the heart of the Portes du Soleil

Every winter, the French-Swiss Portes du Soleil becomes the setting for a unique festival: Rock the Pistes. Pop-rock concerts at altitude, a festive atmosphere and iconic resorts welcome skiers and visitors for an unforgettable experience, combining skiing, discovery and musical emotion.

The unique festival at the heart of the Portes du Soleil

Every winter, the Portes du Soleil is transformed into a veritable open-air music scene thanks to the Rock the Pistes festival. A pioneer among high-altitude festivals, it is the only one to offer concerts directly on the ski slopes, at an altitude of over 1,600 metres. For nearly ten years, it has attracted thousands of fans who have come to combine their two passions: skiing and live music. With its free concerts accessible only on skis, it offers an extraordinary experience. Imagine descending the snow-covered slopes, joining the crowd in the middle of the mountains and listening to the sounds of the greatest French and international pop-rock artists.

A top-class pop-rock line-up

Every year there are surprises in store, as well as some of the biggest names on the music scene. French and international artists come one after the other to offer unforgettable concerts in breathtaking surroundings. From energetic pop to frenzied rock, the diversity of the programme appeals to a varied audience, who come to dance as much as to enjoy the convivial atmosphere. The concerts start at 1.30pm, an ideal time to take advantage of the morning skiing and stop off at the summit to share a unique musical moment. Each day, the festival takes place in a different resort of the Portes du Soleil: Avoriaz, Les Gets, Morzine, Châtel… giving festival-goers the chance to discover all the richness and diversity of the area.

 An unforgettable experience combining skiing and music

Rock the Pistes is much more than a concert: it’s a unique experience combining skiing and music. On the snowy slopes, skiers and music lovers come together to enjoy the sounds of pop-rock in a spectacular Alpine setting. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skier, everyone can enjoy the festive, friendly atmosphere. After the concerts, the magic continues with entertainment and afters in the resorts. Sport, music and the mountains come together to make Rock the Pistes an unmissable winter event, full of emotion and memorable moments.
