In Haute-Savoie, all schuss in music with the festival “Rock The Pistes”

For her very first concert at altitude, Suzane warms up the atmosphere. It must be said that we are in the resort of Les Gets in Haute-Savoie, perched at 1500 m. The artist with a sparkling style and committed hits wanted to live the experience of high-edition performance at Rock The Tracks. A festival located throughout the Portes du Soleil area and which offers holidaymakers the opportunity to come and enjoy concerts after (or during) a skiing session. “I had never played in the mountains, in front of people who are on vacation, indeed there are French, English. It was a real challenge to manage to bring them into my universe”says the artist.

“I loved the moment when I started to make them dance with big shoes, I found it rather surprising”, adds Suzanne. Moon Boots, protective helmets and overalls: this is indeed the dress code for the concerts organized by the festival which, for a few days, transforms the ski slopes into dance floors. A pioneer of altitude festivals, Rock the Pistes seduces artists such as Eagle-Eye Cherry, La P’tite Fumée and Étienne de Crecy.

A family and festive atmosphere

In the middle of this colorful swaying, tourists from all over Europe who appreciate this osmosis, halfway between festival atmosphere and mountain. The more daring are even ready to give up the wetsuit for an icy bath. “It’s great, everyone was dancing, Suzane really manages to animate the crowd”says a festival-goer.

“Great, we saw Martin Solveig yesterday, Suzane today, the children are happy”, adds a mother. After the Les Gets area, Rock The Pistes continues in Châtel, then in Avoriaz before a finale on Saturday March 18 in the resort of Morgins in Switzerland.

“Rock The Tracks”until March 18 on the slopes of the Portes du Soleil.
