Nestled on a south‑facing plateau with 250 km of ski slopes, Alpe d’Huez offers the perfect setting for festival‑goers who want to combine world‑class DJs with unforgettable days on the pistes. Whether you are a loyal “People of Tomorrow” or planning your first alpine festival, this guide helps you make the most of Tomorrowland Alpe d’Huez.
When and where is Tomorrowland Winter 2026?
Tomorrowland Winter 2026 takes place from 21 to 28 March 2026 in Alpe d’Huez, a high‑altitude resort in the French Alps. The event uses the Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski area, with stages both in the heart of the village and at high‑altitude spots accessible by ski lifts or on foot. The resort lies about one hour from Grenoble, two hours from Lyon and under five hours from Paris, making it accessible by car, train plus private transfer or airport shuttles.
What makes Tomorrowland Alpe d’Huez unique?
Tomorrowland Alpe d’Huez is not just another winter festival; it is designed as a full week‑long experience that blends music, snow sports and alpine lifestyle. Hundreds of international and French artists perform across seven themed stages, from intimate mountain restaurants to large arenas with immersive stage designs and light shows. During the day, you can ski or snowboard on varied terrain, join DJ workshops, or try activities like dog sledding, paragliding or yoga at altitude before dancing under the stars at night.
Tickets, passes and packages
Festival‑goers can choose between 7‑day and 4‑day festival packages that typically include accommodation in Alpe d’Huez or nearby villages, ski‑area access and festival entry. In addition, a limited number of 7‑, 4‑ and 1‑day passes are available, which are particularly attractive for local residents or shorter trips. Official ticket sales open in stages, and visitors can use the Tomorrowland Winter trip planner to build personalised packages before purchasing on the official website.
Accommodation in Alpe d’Huez during Tomorrowland
Because Tomorrowland Winter uses the entire resort, accommodation ranges from ski‑in ski‑out apartments to hotels and chalets in Alpe d’Huez and surrounding villages. Many packages bundle lodging with lift passes and festival access, simplifying planning and helping you stay close to the main stages or preferred ski areas. Booking early is essential, as the festival welcomes tens of thousands of guests and the most convenient properties sell out quickly.
Skiing, activities and gastronomy
Alpe d’Huez offers around 250 km of slopes, from beginner‑friendly runs to legendary descents such as the long black Sarenne, giving festival‑goers plenty of terrain to explore between sets. Off the slopes you can sample French gastronomy at mountain restaurants, enjoy “Tastes of the World” food concepts, and warm up with local specialities in the village. Extra activities like dog sledding, paragliding and wellness sessions at altitude add a memorable adventure element to the Tomorrowland Winter experience.
Sustainability and respect for the mountains
The organisers of Tomorrowland Winter emphasise environmental responsibility and aim to work with existing alpine infrastructure wherever possible. Many stages and venues use locations such as Agor’Alp and established mountain restaurants, reducing the need for temporary structures and helping minimise the festival’s impact on the landscape. As a visitor, you can contribute by using public transport or shared transfers, respecting ski‑area guidelines and following local recycling practices.
Practical tips for Tomorrowland Alpe d’Huez
To make the most of Tomorrowland Winter, pack layered winter clothing, waterproof outerwear and appropriate footwear for snow and ice. Arrive early if possible to collect passes, settle into your accommodation and get familiar with stage locations across the resort. Plan your ski days and festival nights in advance so you can enjoy both the slopes and the headline sets without feeling rushed.
