Festivaltho

Pioneer of high-altitude electro

Born in 2008, Festivaltho is one of the very first electronic music festivals to have invested the ski resorts of the French Alps. By choosing Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe at an altitude of 2,300 meters, the organizers created a unique concept: to combine the power of electronic beats with the majesty of the alpine peaks and the energy of skiing.

Over the years, the festival has established itself as a must-attend event on the international electronic scene, attracting thousands of festival-goers from all over the world to experience three days of musical immersion at the summit of the 3 Vallées, the world's largest ski area with its 600 km of slopes.

Iconic venues for a total experience

Festivaltho stands out for the diversity of its venues, each offering a unique atmosphere. The Arena at the Val Thorens sports center hosts the headliners in a large-scale concert setup. The 360° Bar, the resort's iconic panoramic bar, offers DJ sets with breathtaking views of the peaks. The Chalets du Thorens provide a more intimate setting for exceptional sets.

During the day, the slopes and the terraces of the mountain restaurants turn into ephemeral dancefloors, where skiers can enjoy electro sets under the spring sun of March, before joining the main evening events in the late afternoon.

An international caliber lineup

Since its beginnings, Festivaltho has hosted the biggest names in electronic music on its stages. The 2025 edition, the festival's 16th, featured Deborah De Luca, queen of Italian techno, Kavinsky, a French electro legend known worldwide for « Nightcall », and Claptone, a masked DJ and deep house icon, for three memorable evenings in the Arena.

Over the years, the festival has evolved by offering an eclectic lineup ranging from techno to house and electro-pop, while remaining true to its DNA as a friendly and accessible mountain festival.

Val Thorens, an exceptional natural setting

Val Thorens offers an incomparable setting for a music festival. Located at the end of the Belleville valley, the resort benefits from guaranteed snow cover and exceptional sunshine in March, when the days get longer and spring skiing conditions are optimal. The 360° panorama of the Alpine peaks, from Mont Blanc to the Écrins, adds a unique visual dimension to the festive experience.
