Rise Festival, Les Deux Alpes, France 2026/2027: Ski and Music Festival Dates, Line-up and Tickets

Welcome to the Rise Festival 2026 in Les Deux Alpes

Rise Festival returns to Les Deux Alpes in the French Alps from 5 to 12 December 2026 as an independent ski-and-music week: pistes by day, electronic stages by night. The 12th edition pairs about 220 km of runs, including Europe’s largest skiable glacier, with outdoor and indoor venues in the village and on the mountain. Organisers recommend arriving on 5 December and leaving on 12 December; the included six-day lift pass normally runs from Sunday morning to Friday’s last lifts.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Les Deux Alpes

• Closest airports are Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon. Official Rise transfers (Geneva return advertised around £150, about EUR 175) are the organiser-backed option; otherwise train to Grenoble and a transfer or hire car up to the resort at about 1,650 m.
• Early December is cold in the village and colder on the glacier: pack layered ski kit, winter boots for town, gloves, a hat and high-altitude sun protection.
• Package apartments, hotels and chalets are central and walkable to lifts and stages. Independent bookings should be made early — the pre-Christmas week fills fast.
• E-tickets and guides are emailed about two weeks before arrival. Bring photo ID. Collect the lift pass on Saturday; it is valid from Sunday.
• Altitude, long nights and alcohol add up: schedule rest, drink water and consider mountain rescue cover. Official contact: rise-festival.com and [email protected].
