Accommodation and Packages

Rise Alpine apartments are a selection of hand picked apartments from various buildings in the resort in the centre. They aren’t one exact location as they are in various buildings across the resort. Saying this, they are all located primely within walking distance of the slopes, bars and stages.

Within 3 weeks of the Festival you will be notified of the name of the building you have been allocated to. If you have friends who have booked under a different name do let us know and we will make an effort to ensure the apartments are near each other.

For more information have a look at the product page HERE 

Depending on where you have booked, check-in is on average around 3pm-5pm on the 7th. 

Rise will notify you of the specific time and location of your accommodation check in, if you have booked through us.

All our packages include accomodation.

If you book via an external provider, feel free to send us the location to verify it is in a convenient location. 

You can upgrade your package or add more guests at any time, providing the stock is available. Send us an email to find out on [email protected]

If you go to our Festival Packages & choose the package size that you booked. You'll see the list of accommodation options. 

From here you can click 'view full listing' on your selected accommodation for more information. Scroll further down the page for the address!

French Alpine Apartments do provide a type of linen, but it is incredibly basic and will be disposable. E.g thin duvets, pillows that have some sort of cover with a bed sheet but aren't your usual standard of hotel linen.

This is why we recommend guests bring their own linen if you would like a better standard of linen on your bed, but this is not compulsory.

Ski & Board

The lift pass is active from the Sunday 7th Dec in the morning until the last lifts on the Friday 12th Dec. You can collect this on Saturday 6th, so you are ready to go for the first lifts on Sunday! If you want a lift pass outside of these times we recommend buying it once you are in resort just for the day.

Ski and Snowboard equipment hire is available now! There are also upgrade options for 'Premium' and 'Elite' Equipment hire to choose to help improve your ski/board performance with a better standard of equipment.

Ski and Snowboard lessons are available to book later in 2025 These are the options:

1. Absolute Beginner 12.5 Hour Course - the clue is in the name! 

2. Beginner Short Course 7.5  Hours - a great way for those who need some support to move up to steeper slopes, picking up speed and practising turns. 

3. Intermediate Refresher Afternoon 2.5 Hours - An afternoon guided by an instructor to ensure you feel confident for the rest of the week.

You will be notified of which hire shop you have been allocated to before the festival. Where possible Rise will always try to allocate you to the nearest shop to your accommodation (if you have booked through Rise). Pick up your hire on the afternoon of the 7th Dec, ready for the first lift on Sunday morning! Return your hire by Friday 13th.

The hire equipment waiver is sold through a third party called Pre Fit. They are the best in the business for negotiating claims with shops and ensuring if you do need to make a claim, it is as fair as possible. The excess for the equipment is: standard hire: £200 and premium is £230. Poles are not included. Full Terms are in our Ts and Cs!

Travel & Arrival

We would advise booking flights as soon as you can for the best deals. A lot of the flights by budgets airline may not be out yet. We would recommend looking on SkyScanner to find the best priced flights for you and setting alerts for the route you want.

Geneva is the most well connected airport for Rise, serving both international flights and budget airlines to all over the UK. These flights are usually available the earliest in the year, so are more likely to grab a bargain. Lyon and Grenoble airports are closer but the flights are more limited/ 

Yes! There is plenty of parking in the resort too. We recommend pre booking parking and also carefully checking the route and weather conditions before travelling. The mountains can be dangerous, make sure your car is well equipped with snow chains and emergency kit. You can find extensive advice on this on websites such as the RAC.
