Where: Port du Soleil, France/Switzerland

When: 14-21 March 2015

What: So you shred regularly and fancy live music, but don’t have an iPod rammed with electronic dance music. Fear not!

‘Rock the Pistes’ turns five this year, and while details aren’t out for the line up ahead, you’d imagine they will want to be celebrating their birthday in style.

The wonderful thing about this festival is that your ski pass is your ticket – it’s all you need to catch the on-slope shows – so that knocks off a bit of the cost in comparison to certain other options.

Previous acts include BabyShambles, Archive, Keziah Jones, The Klaxons, Ben L’oncle Soul and BB Brunes, and there’s normally five ‘big name’ acts to see, performing every afternoon on one-off snow stages. 

How Much: From approx. £220 for lift pass and accommodation
