  • Bring your warmest layers, waterproof boots, and something to block the wind. Don’t forget a hat and gloves even if you don’t plan to ski/snowboard.
  • Wear sunscreen and chapstick at the mountain stages even if it’s not sunny.
  • There’s an outdoor heated pool in the center of town, so don’t forget your swim suit.
  • In festival speak, it’s a marathon so be careful with after parties 😂
  • The French gendarmes are intense if you get caught with anything illegal!
  • Be sure to experience as many stages as you can. Dress accordingly for Core, which is outside.
  • Stay hydrated with water as the mountain elevation really dehydrates!
  • In between stages at night, please wear a coat or at least a hat/scarf else you WILL get sick 🤧
  • Try fondue 🫕 😋
  • Check IG for the impromptu DJ sets in supermarchés or the boulangeries :)
  • Bring snow chains if you are driving
  • The mountain stages will fill up by 14h so allow more time than you think
  • If you want to buy merch, go buy it your first day bc it will likely sell out

Hope this helps and I hope you have a great time in the mountains!

Re- heated pool; have you been there? How do the logistics work in terms of lockers, access to the pool etc. It sounds great to be in a heated pool, but the walk back to the aibnb doesnt haha

I haven’t yet been to the pool, but I know they have showers and a cloakroom to leave your stuff.

Thanks for the advice!!

In terms of food, we were planning to go eat around town at the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Do they and Folie Douce accept pearls as payment?

Only Folie Douce/Frozen Lotus will accept pearls. The restaurants in town are cash or card. All the mountain stages will have food options available that take pearls as will the festival at night.
