From 25 April to 3 May 2026, Tignes closes its winter season with the second edition of Tignes Unlimited. An electro festival at high altitude that blends spring skiing with DJ sets on the slopes, with an international line-up spread between summits and iconic locations in the resort.
À Tignes, The end of the season is not a gentle affair. At the end of April, skis still on, the resort shifts into a different atmosphere. On the terraces, at the top of the slopes or in the heart of the ski area, music takes over from the sound of ski edges. The Tignes Unlimited festival sets up for a week where the skiing continues until sunset.
Scenes set between 2000 and 2700 metres
One of the hallmarks of the festival remains its high-altitude setting. Some stages take place directly on the ski slopes, particularly at Tovière, at 2,704 metres. Here, DJ sets are held outdoors, facing the still snow-capped peaks.

On April 26th, Purple Disco Machine will perform on this elevated stage, in a format that has become a signature of the event. The following day, Stephan Bodzin and Luna Semara will take over in a more techno vein. Between ski runs, skiers stop, staying for a few minutes or several hours, before heading back out onto the slopes.
Lower down, La Folie Douce kicks things off on April 25th with Agents Of Time. Other venues take over throughout the week, from Arobaze Café to Tignespace, via Chez Popeye and Le Bollin. A varied programme that transforms the entire resort into a musical playground.
A programme designed for spring skiing
Tignes Unlimited falls within a particular period. At the end of April, snow is still present, but conditions are changing. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and skiing becomes more flexible, more accessible.
With a domain reaching a peak of 3450 metres, Tignes is one of the few resorts to remain open until early May. This advantage allows for continued skiing activity while offering more than just a standard end-of-season experience.
The festival plays on this balance. DJ sets are mostly scheduled during the day, allowing for a mix of skiing and music. Evenings then take over in various venues around the resort, featuring artists such as Mind Against on April 30th or Sara Landry on May 1st.
A change of tone to the end of the season
The event is still young, but its positioning is clear. It's not just about adding concerts to the end of the classical season. Tignes is looking to create a specific event, halfway between an Alpine spring break and an electro festival.
The format appeals to a diverse audience. Skiers looking to extend their season, electronic music fans, and also curious onlookers drawn by the idea of a festival at high altitude.
The week pass grants access to all concerts, with prices ranging from 99 to 150 euros depending on purchase periods. Individual tickets are also available from 15 euros, offering a more flexible option. On May 3rd, a musical brunch will conclude the week at Oxygène Café.
