Welcome to the Festival'Tho 2027 in Val Thorens
Festival'Tho 2027 returns to Val Thorens, Europe’s highest ski resort at 2,300 metres. Since 2008 this three-day gathering has been a pioneer of the alpine electro scene in the French Alps. Exact dates for the 18th edition have not been announced yet; in 2026 the festival ran from 17 to 19 March. The usual stages are Les Chalets du Thorens, the 360° Bar and the night programme in resort.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
Festival'Tho typically unfolds over three days with a clear daily arc. Late morning (around 11:00–15:00) usually belongs to Les Chalets du Thorens: relaxed warm-up sets, live musicians and a snow panorama. Mid-afternoon (about 15:00–18:00) the energy shifts to the 360° Bar terrace for après-ski DJs and shows above the slopes. Nights move indoors (in the last edition, Malaysia Club from around 23:00 to 05:00). The 2027 line-up and final timetable have not been published. The musical focus remains electronic: house, techno and high-altitude festival sets. Terrace sessions have often been open during the day, while a festival ticket covered entry across the three main day-and-night venues.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Val Thorens
- Getting there: Train to Moûtiers–Salins-les-Thermes, then shuttle or bus to Val Thorens (about 1 hour). By car, take the A43 and N90 towards Moûtiers, then the D117 up to the resort.
- What to wear: March at 2,300 m means cold, wind and strong sun. Pack ski or après-ski layers, solid shoes, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen.
- Book lodging early: Mid-March is high season. Hotels, residences and chalets close to the resort centre sell out once dates are confirmed.
- Combine skiing and music: A valid lift pass (Val Thorens–Orelle or Les 3 Vallées) is required for the slopes; piste-side terraces may depend on lift access.
- Respect the altitude: Arrive gradually, drink water and take breaks. Always check the official site for 2027 dates, clubs and tickets, as venues can shift slightly each year.
