Snowboxx Festival
🔎 Overview
Snowboxx Festival is a week-long raving and snowsports holiday rolled into one in France’s breathtaking snowy Alpine resort of Avoriaz. The vast ski area (the Portes du Soleil region) is the world’s largest, where you can enjoy excellent snow conditions, legendary après at La Folie Douce.
Add in bottomless brunch, flamboyant fashion, parties, comedy, zorbing, snowball fights and their infamous ‘skim pooling, and you’ve got a dream ski holiday recipe.
Previous artists who have performed at Snowboxx events include the likes of Craig David’s TS5, Fatboy Slim, Jax Jones, Rudimental, High Contrast and more.
But it’s not just the lineup that makes Snowboxx one of the most popular winter music festivals. The skiing caters for beginners and experts alike, with plenty of easy slopes and more challenging off-pistes to discover.

Après
Ski into the wildest party on the slopes. The après connoisseurs La Folie Douce deliver what’s possibly the best après in the world. Tabletop shenanigans and Neil Diamond worthy sing-alongs are the norms.
The enchanted forest
Take a snowcat to a secret forest site to be immersed in Foreverland’s Enchanted Forest, finished with striking decor and production.
Igloo après parties
Ever been debaucherous in an igloo before? Snowboxx Festival brings their favourite DJs to a fabulous location on the slopes, a real ice igloo. These ice huts are ski-in / ski-out, so you can arrive straight from the slope side games.

The XX
Famously infamous. The XX is the largest indoor nightclub in the resort. The beating heart of late-night escapades and the perfect place to carry on the party until the wee hours.
