Snowboxx 2016
Snowboxx Festival finds a new home in the heart of the Port du Soleil ski region - Avoriaz. The festival is creating something never seen before at winter festivals, its own ‘Snowboxx Village’ right in the heart of the town. The village will host a plethora of events, main stage performances, off-the-wall festival features & local food and drink stalls.
Snowboxx has sold out 3 years in a row, months before the start of the festival. In 2015 Snowboxx took a sellout crowd of 3,000 to Alpe D’Huez where the likes of Jungle, 2manydjs, Blonde, Horsemeat Disco, Eton Messy + more took to the stage for a week of slopeside events. Organisers have promised an even bigger 2016 lineup, the first announcement will be coming in September! With more stages, more clubs shows and more on the slopes activity, Snowboxx 2016 promises to be the most thrilling yet - and with prices from £239 including Accommodation, Lift pass & Festival ticket, it is unrivaled in value.

The town is completely pedestrianised allowing you to ski straight to your door in most accommodations, and the main forms of transport around the village is on foot or by horse drawn carriage. As a ski region Avoriaz is unrivalled, with access to nearly 650km of pistes in the Port Du Soleil region, customers will have not run out of nearly runs to cruise! It also boasts 6 snow parks, including the world famous Burton Stash Park, which is built from all natural materials and where features are carved into art pieces. Snowboxx will be hosting their own Snowpark Party with a BBQ, Beers, music and the chance for customers to take part in mini competitions for prizes!
