FAQ's
Is ski equipment rental included in the festival ticket?
Standard festival wristbands and accommodation packages do not automatically include ski or snowboard equipment rentals. However, the festival booking portal offers discounted add-ons where you can pre-book your boots, skis, or boards from local shops in Les Arcs. It is highly recommended to book these in advance to ensure availability and to save money compared to walk-in rates at the resort.
What is the best way to get from the airport to the resort?
The most efficient way to reach Les Arcs is by booking a shared or private festival transfer from Geneva Airport, which is timed to meet major flight arrivals. Alternatively, you can take a train from Lyon or Geneva to Bourg-Saint-Maurice and then use the funicular railway to reach the mountain villages. Private transfers offer door-to-door service to your accommodation but are significantly more expensive than the shared bus options.
Are the festival stages accessible for non-skiers?
Yes, most of the major festival stages and apres-ski venues are accessible via pedestrian-friendly gondolas or are located within the village walking areas. While the festival is centered around skiing and snowboarding, non-skiers can still purchase a pedestrian lift pass to reach the high-altitude stages to enjoy the music and views. Many of the late-night club events are located in the heart of Les Arcs 1800 and do not require any lift access.
What kind of clothing should I pack for the event?
You will need full waterproof ski gear including jackets, trousers, and gloves for the daytime stages and time spent on the mountain. For the evening club events, the dress code is generally casual and comfortable, but you should ensure you have sturdy, insulated footwear with good grip for walking on icy village paths. Temperatures can drop significantly after sunset, so layering with thermal wear is essential for staying warm during outdoor transitions.
Is there a minimum age requirement to attend ABODE on the Snow?
ABODE on the Snow is an 18+ event due to the nature of the venues and the service of alcohol at the parties. All attendees will be required to show a valid government-issued photo ID when collecting their festival wristbands at the accreditation hub upon arrival. This policy is strictly enforced at all late-night club venues and mountain stages to ensure the safety and security of all festival guests.
