 Poster: A snowHead
|
My ladies who ski fancy shifting our usual early March Morzine trip a little later in 2020 to catch the Rock the Pistes festival, so we are holding off booking accommodation and flights til we have definite dates for the festival in 2020.
Does anyone know roughly when the dates get published?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Have you been to Rock The Pistes before @brokenbetty?
I only ask because I happened to be there during it this year and it's worth checking out this year's schedule because the on-piste stuff was really spread out.
Won't make that much of a difference if you're more interested in the stuff going on off the piste though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd also recommend having a look at this year's ticketing information too
My mate and I were only over for 5 days, 3 of which coincided with concerts and we were able to get 2-4-1 tickets for, which were a steal.
Not sure if it works out cheaper than the 7 days for 6 offer they also had going on if you're there all week.

But it's your duty to go grumpy old man when confronted with young-'uns music.
The way I see it, if their music makes sense to someone my age, they're doing it wrong

@brokenbetty,
The most easily accessible on-piste venue from Morzine is by Le Vaffieu restaurant, billed this year as Les Gets-Morzine which is where FEU! CHATTERTON played on the Monday. Le Vaffieu is close to the top of the three chairs, Telesiege de Fys, Telesiege Belvedere and Telesiege Folliets du Golf.
As for the music, the most charitable I can be is that it was fairly typical French pop. The good thing about Rock the Pistes is that with all those people listening to music most pistes are even quieter but then again I am definitely a grumpy old man.
The best music I heard that week I was sat on the Charniaz chair with a young French boarder who had Hendrix blasting out from his sound system

So turns out the dates floating around in April were wrong, the actual date has just been released.
Luckily I was too busy to book accommodation yet

FAQ
I will make sure I manage expectations along those lines.
Plus we've got at least one beginner who will struggle getting any distance beyond Morzine / Avoriaz.
