Snowboxx in Avoriaz: The Ultimate Party in the Alps

Mark your calendars! Snowboxx 2026 will take place from 14th - 21st April, as officially announced on their Facebook page. Get ready for an unforgettable week of music, snow, and non-stop fun!

While Snowboxx takes place in Avoriaz, it's important to mention Morzine, the lively resort town at the base of the mountain. As part of the Portes du Soleil ski area, Morzine is a fantastic gateway to the festival, offering a charming alpine village atmosphere, a variety of accommodation options, and excellent après-ski spots. Many festival-goers choose to stay in Morzine and take the Super Morzine gondola up to Avoriaz each day. The town is known for its friendly vibe, traditional wooden catered ski chalets, and a buzzing nightlife scene, making it a great place to warm up before hitting the main festival action.

Kickstart your day with a legendary bottomless brunch. Imagine indulging in delicious food while live DJs spin tunes that get you dancing on tables before you've even hit the slopes. It's the perfect way to fuel up and set the tone for an epic day ahead.

After brunch, it's time to hit the expansive Portes du Soleil ski area. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie, there's a run for you. But Snowboxx isn't just about skiing; it's about unforgettable experiences. Dive into activities like igloo parties, where you can rave in a hidden snow dome, or join in on massive snowball fights and human bowling. Fancy a break from the cold? Head to Aquariaz, the tropical-themed indoor water park, for some splashy fun. Looking for more activities for non-skiers?

As the sun sets, the après-ski scene comes alive. La Folie Douce is the place to be, with live performances and DJ sets that turn the mountain into an open-air club. Dancing in your ski boots with a backdrop of snow-capped peaks? Yes, please!

When night falls, the main stage lights up with an eclectic mix of artists. Past line-ups have featured big names across electronic, drum and bass, and hip-hop genres. For a more intimate vibe, check out the resort's XX Club, where cutting-edge DJs keep the party going into the early hours.

Avoriaz boasts a diverse food scene, from traditional Savoyard dishes like fondue and tartiflette to international cuisine. Vegetarians and vegans won't be left out, with spots like La Boule de Neige and Le Chapka offering tasty options. After dinner, explore the local bars for a relaxed drink or dive back into the festival's vibrant nightlife.
