Snowattack International & Student Festival 2026, Les Deux Alpes & Les Orres, France
Overview
Snowattack 2026 returns to the French Alps as a premier winter double-event, offering two distinct weeks of high-altitude music and sport. The first week, Snowattack International, transforms the world-famous resort of Les Deux Alpes into a pulsating hub for global electronic music fans. Utilizing one of Europe’s largest skiable glaciers, the festival combines 220 km of pristine slopes with elite international DJ sets, creating an “iconic experience” that merges adrenaline-fueled skiing with high-production nightlife.
The following week, the energy shifts to Les Orres for Snowattack Student, the largest university-focused winter festival in the region. Billed as “The Comeback,” this edition is designed specifically for students and young people, emphasizing community, affordability, and non-stop entertainment. With its sun-drenched pistes and vibrant “Snowattack Square,” Les Orres provides a welcoming atmosphere where thousands of students from across Europe gather to celebrate through street parties, comedy shows, and legendary club nights.

FAQ's
What is the difference between the International and Student weeks?
The International week at Les Deux Alpes is geared toward a global audience and young adults, featuring international headliners and a focus on premium electronic music. The Student week at Les Orres is specifically tailored for university groups, emphasizing a larger variety of social games, street parties, and a lineup that often features prominent Hungarian artists. Both weeks offer world-class skiing, but the atmosphere in Les Orres is more focused on student camaraderie and budget-friendly collective packages.
What is included in the festival wristband?
The Snowattack wristband is your primary entry pass for all official festival programming, including daytime mountain terrace parties and late-night indoor arena events. It grants access to all concerts, themed parties (like the Costume Slide), and social competitions held throughout the week. Please note that a separate ski pass is required to use the lifts and ski slopes, although many people purchase "all-in-one" packages that include both the wristband and the lift pass.
How do I get to the mountain stages if I don't ski?
Most of the major daytime parties, including those on the glacier at Les Deux Alpes, are accessible to non-skiers via pedestrian gondola passes. This allows you to join your friends for the music and panoramic views without needing any ski equipment or skills. Pedestrian passes can be purchased at the resort ticket offices and are significantly cheaper than standard full-area ski passes, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the festival.
Are meals included in the accommodation packages?
Standard apartment packages are self-catering, meaning you have a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals. However, Snowattack offers several hotel upgrades that include breakfast or half-board (breakfast and dinner) options for those who prefer not to cook. Additionally, many local restaurants in Les Deux Alpes and Les Orres offer special "Snowattack menus" or discounts for festival wristband holders during the week.
Is travel from Hungary provided for all participants?
The festival organizers offer a dedicated round-trip bus transfer service departing from Budapest and several other major Hungarian cities for both event weeks. This is a popular and cost-effective option for groups, with the journey taking approximately 16 to 18 hours. If you are traveling from elsewhere in Europe, you can simply purchase a "festival + accommodation" package and arrange your own flights to nearby airports like Grenoble, Lyon, or Turin.
