Concerts in the Alps - Music in the Mountains

Between April 2nd and 9th 2011 the Alpine ski region known as Les Portes du Soleil is putting on a series of concerts in the mountains. This sounds like a great way to combine some skiing with some great gigs in a fabulous setting.

Les Portes du Soleil is claimed to be the largest ski area in Europe, crossing the border between France and Switzerland, and has an amazing 650 km of marked pistes.

Alerted by SMS just minutes before the start of the gigs, fans will need to hop on their skis to reach the unique sets built overnight. For one week, all 12 of the Portes du Soleil's French and Swiss village resorts will be pulsating to the rhythm of these one-off performances. So we can't advise you in advance where these events will take place or even who the performers will be, but that sounds like part of the fun.

There's no cost to see the concerts - all you need is a lift pass. To register your mobile phone and pre-book your lift pass visit the official website of Les Portes du Soleil.
