Arrival & check-in
Heads up when you arrive!
Keep in mind that on changeover day, nearly 25,000 people will be arriving in the city, and we need to settle everyone into their accommodations within just a few hours. So, please be patient and make sure to follow the rules to help everyone get to their rooms as quickly as possible!
Check-in is a bit different this year: the process varies at almost every accommodation. That’s why it’s super important to carefully read through the info below and make sure you’re lining up at the right place. This will save you (and us 😉) a lot of time!
GENERAL RULES FOR THE BUILDINGS:
- For safety reasons, the elevators in the apartment buildings are turned off at night.
- In most apartment buildings, the room keys also open the storage unit assigned to your room.
PRIORITY CHECK-IN:
Passengers who purchase this service will receive detailed information in a separate email. Please note that priority check-in does not grant access before 5:00 PM!
This service is still available in limited numbers for €50!
The following rules also apply to guests staying in chalets, Chalet Mounier, Les Flocons, Belle Etoile, and Hotel Cote Brune.
DETAILED CHECK-IN PROCESS:
- Upon arrival, the team leader will hand over the deposit for the room after presenting the voucher.
- The team leader will receive the key.
- The team can move into the room and check that everything is in order. If anything is missing or damaged, the team must report it to the Snowattack house manager (the house manager's name is displayed in every building). Otherwise, the deposit may be deducted for damages or missing items during check-out, which we cannot influence.
- Ski passes and wristbands can be collected at a separate point, which varies by building.
Check-in is possible after 5:00 PM everywhere; unfortunately, we cannot get the keys earlier!
For individual arrivals after 8:00 PM, please notify us in advance, as some receptions close at that time.

Festival Travel International Kft. does not take responsibility for items left unattended or lost during unloading!
When unloading, please make sure that you don’t leave anything in the passenger area, as you won’t have access to it during the week!
Room assignments will be published one or two days before departure:
Arrival of buses
5 pm - 7:30 pm
The buses will be staged in a large parking lot outside Les 2 Alpes before entering the town.
Guides will keep you informed about whether your bus needs to wait. After unloading, buses must immediately return to the parking area at the entrance of the town to ensure there is enough space for the buses arriving later.
The Check-In Process
The guide will give each room leader an envelope in which the full deposit for the room must be placed. The deposit amount varies depending on the accommodation and must also be paid for empty beds. Room leaders will not receive the room key if the deposit is incomplete, meaning the room will have to wait until the full amount is collected.
Only the room leader is allowed to enter the check-in point; all other members must wait outside or unload the bus in the meantime.
At accommodations where bed linen was not included in the package price, the pre-ordered and pre-paid bed linens can be collected by the team leader at the check-in points until 8:00 PM. Renting bed linen on-site is not possible.
Arrival of cars
6 pm - 8 pm
Cars will be staged in a large parking lot outside Les 2 Alpes before entering the town.
Only the room leader is allowed to enter the check-in point; all other members must wait outside.
At accommodations where bed linen was not included in the package price, the pre-ordered and pre-paid bed linens can be collected by the team leader at the check-in points until 8:00 PM. Renting bed linen on-site is not possible.
