4, 5 or 8 Day Rise Festival, Les Deux Alpes, France
Rise Festival, Les Deux Alpes, France
This is the trip for guests who want it all. You want big ski days, bigger nights, and zero stress in between. You don’t want to cook, organise restaurants, or squeeze into a shoebox hotel room. You want great people, great food, flowing wine, and a festival that turns an entire mountain into a playground. Welcome to Ski & Wine Week at Rise Festival — done properly.

Imagine starting your days carving turns on Europe’s highest glacier, chasing fresh lines and crisp alpine air. By afternoon, the music starts pumping, après gets lively, and Rise Festival takes over the resort with world-class DJs, pop-up stages, and non-stop energy. You go hard, because that’s the point — but you never have to think about what comes next.

Back at your private chalet, everything is waiting for you. Dinner is already on, the wine is already open, and the fire is glowing. Someone’s on the playlist, someone else is pouring another glass, and the whole place is buzzing with that perfect mix of exhaustion and excitement. This isn’t a hotel lobby or a shared dorm — it’s your crew, your space, your mountain home for the week.

Each evening kicks off with guided wine tastings hosted by the legends at Swallow Don’t Spit Wine. It’s fun, relaxed, and just educational enough. Expect blind tastings, playful challenges, regional showdowns, food pairings, and a few surprises along the way. You’ll drink generously, learn accidentally, and discover why Champagne is more than just bubbles. By the end of the week, you’ll tell your Burgundy from your Bordeaux, ski a little better, party a lot harder, and leave with memories that will live on — even if some photos definitely shouldn’t.

Recommended as Stonehenge Experts
Here at Best Value Tour we are proud of our Owner and Principal British Olympian Paul Harmsworth. Paul developed our exceptional and entirely free Stonehenge Customer Service, from his great personal passion of Stonehenge. From as a young child spending time playing at the stones and picnicking, visiting with his family as his grandparents lived close by in Amesbury. A passion much indulged with a 2 year spell working at Stonehenge, a time he remembers most fondly around 20 years ago and 18 years since, helping 1000’s of guests get the best Stonehenge experience possible.
When Paul first visited Stonehenge in the 1960’s, it was very different than today. Firstly, Wiltshire back then was very rural and very quite. As time went on and the road networks developed; Wiltshire’s wealth of ancient and more recent historic histories, all set in a region of outstanding natural beauty, became more accessible to visitors. Thus evolved to the iconic and mystical region visited by many each year, taking away lasting wonderful memories.
Stonehenge has somewhat of a varied history of fences, no fences, charging for entrance and not charging. Fortunately a period around 1963-1977 when Paul was young, Stonehenge was completely open, no fences, no staff or security. Was a popular destination for locals for summer weekend picnics of which Paul has warm memories (there is apparently a picture of him there in the 1960’s we are trying to locate).
History of fences/no fences at Stonehenge
Stonehenge, one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments, has a fascinating history not only in terms of its construction and purpose but also regarding how the public has accessed it over the centuries. In the early 1800s, the site was privately owned by the Antrobus family (famous local philanthropists, a name still known locally at the popular historic Antrobus Hotel still in Amesbury), and visitors could approach the stones freely, wandering among them across the Salisbury Plain without restrictions.
However, as visitor numbers grew and concerns about potential damage increased, the family introduced an entrance fee of one shilling in 1901. This was done to help fund the protection and maintenance of the monument and marked the first time that public access came with a cost.
In addition to charging an entrance fee, early efforts to protect Stonehenge included the introduction of fences, which were installed in the early 20th century. These fences were intended to prevent vandalism and manage the growing crowds of visitors while preserving the integrity of the stones.
When Sir Cecil Chubb purchased Stonehenge in 1918 and subsequently donated it to the nation, he stipulated that local residents should retain free access and that the general admission fee for other visitors would remain minimal. Over the decades, fences were adjusted and, at times, removed, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s when restoration work, including the re-erection of fallen trilithons, aimed to restore the monument and its surrounding landscape.
By 1977, fences fully enclosed the stone circle to safeguard it, limiting public access to controlled paths and special arrangements. Today, visitors can still enjoy close views of Stonehenge, but touching the stones is prohibited, and entry to the inner circle is reserved for solstice celebrations or exclusive tours. Modern management by English Heritage ensures a balance between preservation and tourism, allowing people from around the world to experience the monument safely while maintaining its enduring mystery and historical significance.
