Snowboxx takes place in the ski resort of Avoriaz, a top-tier ski destination in the French Alps. Avoriaz is the highest resort of Les Portes du Soleil, the largest ski area in the world, which spreads over France and Switzerland. There are plenty of pistes and parks for all levels, and loads of off-piste entertainment too! The nearest airport is Geneva, Switzerland.

Snowboxx 2026 will be held from Saturday 14th to Saturday 21st of March.

During the day you can enjoy the endless pistes of Portes Du Soleil, the world’s largest ski area, or start the day with one of our legendary bottomless brunches. Every day from midday we host epic après sessions at La Folie Douce until late. Once you are done with the shred you can, literally, ski into this party.

On Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, world-class headliners take over our main stage, a massive open-air arena right by the slopes. Music at the main stage finishes at 23:00 so you can enjoy incredible performances at this unique location and still make it to the first lift in the morning.

Snowboxx is for adults only. Families may attend and enjoy the skiing and boarding elements, but all festival-related events are 18+.

Line up will be announced in two tiers between October and November. Set times will be available closer to the event.

Please email us at info@snowboxx.com and your request will be sent to the relevant department. Please note that due to a high volume of requests, we can only get back to those who we would like to hear more from.

We can recommend that you perhaps link up with other Snowboxx guests who are attending on their own or in smaller groups. You can find our Shared Trips Facebook page here to find other like-minded guests to attend with.

We are working closely with the resort and the local authorities to ensure we can deliver a safe and enjoyable event. Rest assured that all of the procedures we will put in place have been planned with our team of Health and Safety experts to ensure that we can effectively operate a safe experience for all. We are continuously monitoring the UK and French Government's guidelines, and we will follow the Foreign Commonwealth Office's advice on travel.

Our ready-to-book packages are the best way to get your group holiday sorted. 

Standard package: Festival wristband + accommodation
The price per person will vary depending on the size of your group and your choice of accommodation. Prices started at £399 per person for a 7-day stay - that includes accommodation and a festival wristband!

Yes, the minimum stay is 4 days (3 nights). However, we recommend staying for the full week to make the most out of the experience! Note: not all the apartments are available to book for less than a week so you may see fewer options if your selected dates are not the full week.

Large groups may need to book more than one apartment. You can have a maximum of 12 people in 1 apartment (subject to availability). Check this by entering the number of people that you will attend with on our booking page then all of the available options will be displayed in the next step.

If you are booking for a large group of 10 or more people, you may be entitled to a special discount. You can inquire about this upon booking by contacting info@snowboxx.com or use the group discount code.

Yes, you can do that, as long as there is a spare bed available. To do so, please send info@snowboxx.com your new guest’s full name and email address. Our customer service team will handle the rest. Once added, your friend will receive a link to pay their deposit, and they’ll be all set to join your group.

E-tickets will be sent to all customers via email the week before the event and will then be available to download via Manage Booking. Physical wristbands are to be collected in person at the event and won’t be sent to any address. You can collect your wristband with your booking ID and photographic ID - we recommend keeping the confirmation email handy for this.

We have some options for smaller groups, though they are more limited. For a wider range of accommodations, we recommend joining a larger group. You can always reach out to the Facebook group, see here for options of joining others. For any other questions you may have, please contact our customer service team.

​You can book for up to 16 people at a time. If your booking is for more than 16, you will need to make multiple bookings.

Wristbands will be available to collect from the Arrivals centre on check-in day or from the Help Desk & Box Office during opening hours. These will be sent out in advance of the events.

Wristband-only tickets may be available nearer to the event date, if this is possible, we will announce this closer to the time. You can also book a lift pass for the week of the event through us, which is a much better price than buying directly.

If you've booked and have a typo on a name, you need to contact our customer service to update this free of charge. Full name changes can be made if in line with the terms in the above section. If you have booked flights and require any changes to a name, you must do this with your airline directly picking up any fees that may apply.

Yes, you will be able to log in and add extras to your booking up until 1 month before the show.

You can reserve your spot at the current price with a small deposit. The remaining balance can be paid at a later time.

The payment deadline will be determined by the time of the year you book your tickets:

Your payment deadline can be found both on our booking site (during the booking process), on your booking confirmation once the booking is completed as well in the Snowboxx terms & conditions. We will also send you a reminder to give you enough time to finalise any payments. Please add our address to your contact list to ensure you receive your reminder: info@snowboxx.com

Payments are made via the ‘manage booking’ portal. This can be accessed here or through your booking confirmation email, or via the link on the footer of our website. To log in you will need your booking ID which can be found on your confirmation email and the email address you used to book your tickets. Each member of the group can log in and make payments using separate cards.

Each individual can choose between two payment options:

Pay the remainder in one lump sum at any time before the payment deadline.

OR

Pay a set amount towards your balance, in this way you could effectively split the remaining balance across several paydays etc.

If you are concerned about the inability to pay your balance by the final balance date, please let us know as soon as possible so we can look into extending the payment terms to facilitate settling the balance. Please be aware any new payment plans will be agreed with our team and they preserve the right to change the dates when necessary.

If you miss your final balance payment, you will be charged a £50 penalty fee and will be given 7 days to settle your balance. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your booking.

Yes, you will be able to add extras to your booking after the payment deadline but they will need to be paid immediately in order to add to your booking. All adding of extras is also subject to availability.

As with any other holiday accommodation, your hotel may require you to pay a security deposit upon arrival. Ideally this needs to be paid by the lead passenger on the booking. This amount will be refunded on the grounds that your accommodation is left just as found, and that includes leaving the accommodation clean and tidy. Bin will need to be emptied to also avoid fines.

The average deposit is between €150-€300pp but for higher standard accommodations it could be up to €3000 in total. If in doubt please check your booking confirmation. Deposits are held on a credit card for the duration of the festival, then released. Debit cards or cash will not be accepted.

Depending on the apartment, you will either pay this at check in, or you will be sent a payment link in advance. Keys will not be given to customers until this deposit has been paid.

Avoriaz is snow-covered and completely car-free! This means you can ski in and out of your apartment through the traffic-free streets to catch any of the multiple nearby lifts, take a horse and sleigh to a nearby restaurant or walk among the picturesque lines of Christmas trees and fairy lights.

Portes du Soleil is a genuine powder reserve in the Alps. Avoriaz is the highest resort in the area, which means quality snow is guaranteed throughout the season! Historically, March is an excellent month in Avoriaz… skis at the ready!

Drink prices start from around €6 lager/beer pint - €9 spirit & mixer. Food can be purchased in supermarkets and restaurants. Pricing starts from around €9. Costs may vary from bar to restaurant.

There are many restaurants in the resort to choose from. We highly recommend booking in advance as they get very busy during the event week. You can browse the restaurants in the resort and book here.

The Snowboxx week is jam-packed with fun-fuelled activities. Think epic après every day at La Folie Douce, legendary bottomless brunches, hilarious downhill races on inflatables, heated snowball fights, the unmissable skim pool, a heated indoor water park, spas and excellent food (and wine) throughout the week. There are plenty of things to do, even if you don’t ski.

All Snowboxx lift passes are guaranteed to be cheaper than purchasing them locally. The discount varies depending on the type of pass you are booking.

No, you don't have to be able to ski as the Prodains lift does allow pedestrians. Please check local transport guides for further information.

No, you will be able to access the festival stage, venues, restaurants and bars by foot.

Snowboxx is a fully cashless festival.

Our wristband payment system is safer and more convenient than using cash or bank cards, helping to reduce queues and give you more time for skiing, riding, and dancing.

You will be able to top up your wristband online or at dedicated top up points around the festival site. Wristbands are the only accepted form of payment at Snowboxx operated venues.

Some additional venues may accept card payments, while cash can still be used at non-Snowboxx venues and throughout the wider resort.

In the event of a full cancellation or rescheduled date, ticket-holders will be entitled to transfer their ticket to a rescheduled show, or a full face-value refund on their wristband.

You can cancel your booking at any time. However, as with any other holiday package, cancellation fees may apply. Please ensure you read the terms and conditions and agree to them before booking a package. You can view our terms and conditions at any time here.

Generally speaking, the closer to the departure date, the higher the cancellation costs would be. If you cancel your booking before the final balance date, you would only lose the deposit. This means that if there are any external reasons preventing your group from attending that may change between now and your final balance date, you could wait to make the decision until the final balance date without incurring any further costs. If that date arrives and the situation has not changed, you can still cancel your group booking and would only lose the deposit and extras.

If you decide to cancel after the final balance date, a cancellation fee will apply. Note the cancellation fee is calculated on a sliding scale based on how close to the event the cancellation occurs. You can see this scale on the Manage Booking page, under the “change my booking tab, as well as on our terms and conditions linked above. The final balance date is detailed on the confirmation email.

If you have any concerns about your booking and are considering cancelling, please email us first at info@snowboxx.com so we can advise and help you make a decision. By cancelling your booking you are agreeing to the cancellation terms and that decision is final and cannot be reversed.

If you would like to replace any passengers, please note that name changes are free up until 6 weeks prior to the festival. After that, there is a name change fee of £55 per person. If you would like to remove any passengers from your booking, please note the standard cancellation terms apply for those passengers - they would lose their deposit if cancelling before the final balance date, or the deposit and a cancellation fee if they cancel after the final balance date. The extras for the cancelled guest(s) would remain on the booking and the remaining passengers in the group would also have to split their share of the accommodation cost, or change to another accommodation that suits the new group size (subject to availability).

This is a fairly straightforward process that can be completed online via the manage booking portal. If you have booked flights, you will need to call the airline directly to change the name with them as well as picking up any fees that they might charge. Name changes can be made up to 24 hours prior to E-tickets being sent out.

You will be sent a pre-trip email with all the important information for your trip such as transfer details a couple of weeks before you depart.

The Snowboxx week is full of surprises and much more than just skiing and après (although that part is epic too!)
