In Haute-Savoie, all schuss in music with the “Rock en pistes” festival

For her very first high-altitude concert, Suzane warms things up. It must be said that we are in the town of Les Gets in Haute-Savoie, perched at 1500 m. The artist with a sparkling style and committed successes wanted to experience the high edition performance a Rock The Tracks. A festival located throughout the Portes du Soleil area and offering holidaymakers the opportunity to attend concerts after (or during) a ski session. “I had never played in the mountains, in front of people who are on vacation, indeed there are French, English. It was a real challenge to be able to bring them into my world”says the artist.

“I loved the moment I started making them dance in the big shoes, I found it quite amazing”Suzanne adds. Moon Boots, protective helmets and overalls: this is in fact the dress code for the concerts organized by the festival which, for a few days, transforms the ski slopes into dance floors. Pioneer of high-altitude festivals, Rock the Pistes has won over artists such as Eagle-Eye Cherry, La P’tite Fumée and Étienne de Crecy.

A familiar and festive atmosphere

In the midst of this colorful wave, tourists from all over Europe who appreciate this osmosis, halfway between a festival atmosphere and a mountain. The more adventurous are even ready to give up the wetsuit for an ice bath. “It’s great, everyone was dancing, Suzane really gets the crowd going”says a festival-goer.

“Great, we saw Martin Solveig yesterday, Suzane today, the kids are happy”, adds a mother. After the Les Gets area, Rock The Pistes continues to Châtel, then to Avoriaz before a finale on Saturday 18 March in the Swiss resort of Morgins.

“Shake the Tracks”until March 18 on the slopes of the Portes du Soleil.
