SunIce Festival 2026: Winter & Summer Editions, Switzerland
Overview
SunIce Festival is Switzerland’s premier lifestyle and electronic music experience, offering two distinct editions that capture the country’s most extreme and beautiful seasons. The Winter Edition transforms the world-famous luxury resort of St. Moritz into a high-altitude “Techno Dome,” where ravers dance atop the Corviglia mountains. The Summer Edition shifts the energy to the sun-soaked shores of Lido Ascona in the Ticino region, blending Mediterranean beach vibes with world-class electronic beats.
Both editions are renowned for their high-end production, featuring massive LED structures, immersive soundscapes, and a curated mix of EDM, Techno, and House. Beyond the music, SunIce is a “lifestyle” festival, encouraging attendees to engage in unique activities—from bobsledding and paragliding in the winter to wakeboarding and boat parties in the summer. Whether on the snow or by the lake, SunIce creates a sophisticated yet electrifying playground for the global electronic community.
Event Highlights
- Winter: High-Altitude Raving: Held at the Salastrains finish area in St. Moritz at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, featuring five stages and over 70 DJs.
- Summer: Mediterranean Beach Vibes: Located at Lido Ascona, the festival offers three days of lake-front dancing, sunbeds, and a relaxed “holiday” atmosphere.
- “SunIce Activities”: Unique experiences like the SunIce Rave Train (a party on the RhB railway), paragliding, moon bike tours, and bobsleighing in St. Moritz.
- Elite 2026 Lineup: Confirmed headliners for the Winter Edition include Amelie Lens, Artbat, KAS:ST, Miss Monique, and Stella Bossi.
Why Attend
SunIce Festival 2026 is the definitive choice for music lovers who seek luxury, adventure, and world-class electronic music in one package. The festival avoids the “muddy field” aesthetic of typical events, instead opting for the most exclusive locations in Switzerland. Attending the Winter Edition allows you to combine a premium ski holiday with a massive mountain rave, while the Summer Edition offers a boutique beach-club experience that rivals Ibiza, set against the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps and Lago Maggiore.

Reviews
- Dancing in a transparent dome surrounded by the snowy peaks of St. Moritz was a spiritual experience.
- The production value is insane. The lights and the sound at the Mainstage were better than most festivals I’ve seen in cities.
- Ascona felt like a hidden paradise. Great music, clean facilities, and the water was perfect for a swim between sets.

FAQ's
Is the SunIce Festival wheelchair accessible?
The Summer Edition in Ascona has an accessible toilet on-site, but the terrain (sand/grass) can be difficult in bad weather and VIP areas are currently stair-access only. The Winter Edition in St. Moritz is challenging due to the mountain terrain and snow; however, companions of guests with disabilities often receive a free ticket. We recommend contacting the organizers at info@sunicefestival.ch to discuss specific mobility needs before booking.
What is the "SunIce Rave Train" and do I need a special ticket?
The Rave Train (Rolling Rave) is a special RhB train wagon with an on-board DJ that runs on the scenic route from Chur to St. Moritz. You generally need a standard valid train ticket (or GA/Day Pass) to board, but capacity is limited and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. It is the ultimate way to start the festival experience while winding through the UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line.
What happens if the weather is bad in St. Moritz?
The festival is designed to handle winter conditions; most stages are covered by massive heated domes (like the Techno Dome). However, the festival has a "force majeure" policy where cancellations due to extreme weather or safety risks do not entitle holders to a refund. Always check the official app on the morning of the event for any timetable adjustments due to high winds or heavy snowfall.
Can I bring my own food or drinks into the Festival Village?
No, external food and drinks are strictly prohibited within the festival grounds for both editions. A dedicated "Food Village" offers a wide range of options including vegan, vegetarian, and local Swiss specialties. Both festivals are cashless; you will pay for everything using the chip on your festival wristband.
What is the difference between a "Weekend" and "Weekend Plus" ticket?
The Weekend Plus ticket typically includes access to the festival on Thursday (the opening day), whereas the standard Weekend pass is for Friday and Saturday only. For the Winter Edition, Thursday often features a "Welcome Party" or exclusive sets at smaller stages to kick off the weekend. We highly recommend the Plus option if you want to experience the full 4-day atmosphere and avoid the Friday morning rush.
