March is one of the best times to come and ski in Ch\u00e2tel. The days get longer, the sun comes out generously and the atmosphere on the slopes becomes particularly pleasant. It's also the time of year for a not-to-be-missed event in the Portes du Soleil: Rock the Pistes Festival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between skiing, concerts at altitude and relaxing in the sun, March offers a unique mountain experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock the Pistes: concerts in the heart of the ski area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year in March, the Domaine des Portes du Soleil<\/strong> welcomes the famous Rock the Pistes Festival<\/strong>. This festival, the only one of its kind in Europe, offers live concerts directly on the slopes, accessible only on skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of a week, a number of international artists and groups perform on stages set up at altitude in the various resorts in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    March: the best time to enjoy the slopes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      It's the perfect time to combine sporty skiing in the morning with relaxing moments in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The high-altitude restaurants and on-slope bars have become lively places where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the view of the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
