Flight, train, bus or carpooling: compare the options side by side with your real dates. The idea is to arrive with a bit of battery left — you included.
TOMORROWLANDWINTER
Tomorrowland's alpine edition: a week-long ski festival at Alpe d'Huez, with stages set up on the slopes and in the heart of the resort. Next edition from 20 to 27 March 2027; the 2026 edition drew ~22,000 people from March 21 to 28.
Tomorrowland Winter 2027
The Tomorrowland Winter festival.
In a nutshell.
Tomorrowland Winter is Tomorrowland's winter edition, based since 2019 at Alpe d'Huez, in the Grandes Rousses massif (Isère). The concept: a full week where you ski by day and, from the afternoon on, find the festival's signature stages — MainStage, Frozen Lotus, Orbyz, Cage — set up directly on the slopes and in the resort. The first edition, in March 2019, carried the theme "The Hymn of the Frozen Lotus"; the 2026 edition ran March 21 to 28, with around 22,000 festival-goers, seven to eight stages and more than 150 artists over the week.
This isn't a three-day festival but a stay: the "Festival Pass" bundles stage access with a ski pass. You sleep in or near the resort, hitting the slopes in the morning, the sets in the afternoon and at night. Alpe d'Huez, with its 250km ski area and its reputation as a very sunny resort, serves as the backdrop: some stages are reachable skis-on, others on foot in the village.
The crowd is international and the atmosphere is very "Tomorrowland" — elaborate stage design, costumes, communion on the MainStage — but transposed into the cold and altitude (Alpe d'Huez sits above 1,800m). You need to pack for both a ski trip and a festival: March mountain weather swings from full sun to a snowstorm in the same day.

Tomorrowland Winter in practice
Profile of the festival.
Capacity, atmosphere, crowd, hours and on-site budget: the full profile of Tomorrowland Winter 2027 before you get your tickets.
The origin
The first winter edition, in 2019
Tomorrowland set up stages in the mountains for the first time March 13 to 15, 2019, under the theme "The Hymn of the Frozen Lotus." 30,000 tickets, a successful bet that became annual (except 2021, cancelled).
The setting
Stages set up on the slopes
MainStage, Frozen Lotus, Orbyz, Cage, Reflection of Love, CORE, Moose Bar: some stages are reached skis-on, others on foot in the resort. The 2026 edition had seven to eight.
A week, not a weekend
A ski-trip format
The "Festival Pass" covers stage access and a lift pass. You ski by day, dance in the afternoon and at night, for seven days.
An intimate format
~22,000 people (2026)
Nothing like Boom's 400,000: capacity is limited by the resort. More than 150 artists performed over the 2026 week.
What to pack
Ski + festival gear
A warm, waterproof ski suit or jacket and trousers, gloves, goggles, sunscreen (altitude), après-ski boots, and something to handle -5 to -10°C outside in the evening. Gear rental available on site.
Budget
High: festival + skiing + accommodation
The Festival Pass (access + lift pass) starts around €600; add accommodation in the resort during peak season (expensive) and travel. One of the most costly festivals on the calendar.
Tomorrowland Winter 2027 practical info
Practical info.
Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and schedule
One week, from 20 to 27 March 2027 (dates announced by Tomorrowland; 2026: March 21-28). Skiing by day, sets from afternoon into late night across the different stages.
Tickets
"Festival Pass" sold on Tomorrowland Winter's official website: it includes stage access and a lift pass (duration varies by package). Pre-registration advised, packages sell fast.
Payment
Cashless at the stages via the festival wristband. In the resort, cards accepted everywhere.
Access and transport
Train to Grenoble (2h from Lyon, 3h from Paris), then a coach or shuttle to Alpe d'Huez (1h15-1h30, mountain road). By car, bring snow chains or tyres. Airports: Lyon (1h45) and Grenoble-Isère (1h).
Accessibility
The resort is partly accessible but altitude, snow and terrain complicate getting around; contact the organisers in advance for accessible access at the stages.
TransportReach Alpe d'Huez via Grenoble or Lyon, then a mountain road. Snow-equipped car or shuttle.
- Train + coach
- TGV to Grenoble (3h from Paris, 1h20 from Lyon), then a Transaltitude coach or shuttle to Alpe d'Huez (about 1h15). Book the coach ahead in high season.
- By plane
- Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (1h45 by road from the resort) or Grenoble-Alpes-Isère (1h, open mainly in winter). From Geneva, allow 2h30.
- By car
- Motorway to Grenoble then the climb into the Oisans (21 hairpin bends from Bourg-d'Oisans). Chains or snow tyres mandatory; traffic in the resort is very restricted during festival week — park in the designated car parks.
- On site
- The resort is walkable; free shuttles between districts, and the lifts serve some stages.
AccommodationStay in the resort (the simplest option) or in the villages below, cheaper but with more driving.
- In the resort
- Apartments, residences and hotels in Alpe d'Huez: the most practical for linking skiing and stages, but prices soar during the festival — book several months ahead.
- Bourg-d'Oisans / valley
- At the bottom of the climb, more affordable, but you have to go up and down each day (mountain road, shuttles).
- Official packages
- Tomorrowland Winter sells 'Global Journey' packages including accommodation, lift pass and sometimes transport from several European cities — the no-logistics solution.
DestinationAlpe d'Huez is a big ski area in the Oisans, at the heart of the French Alps.
- Skiing
- 250 km of slopes, a big vertical drop (up to 3,330 m at the Pic Blanc), a very sunny exposure. Gear rental and lessons available on site.
- Around
- Les Deux Alpes on the other side of the valley, Grenoble and its museums 1h away, the villages of the Oisans. Extending the stay a few days to ski outside festival week avoids the crowds.
- Weather
- March at altitude: from −10°C at night to a few degrees above zero in the sunny afternoon. Clear skies or a snowstorm depending on the day; the spring sun is strong (sunscreen and goggles essential).
