FAQ's
Is the ski pass included in the festival ticket?
The standard festival wristband does not include a lift pass as some attendees prefer to only attend the music events. However, most attendees purchase a "Festival + Lift Pass" package which provides access to the full Portes du Soleil ski area. It is highly recommended to buy your pass as part of the festival bundle to save on costs and avoid queues at the resort ticket offices.
Can beginners join the festival if they don't ski?
Absolutely, the festival is very accessible for non-skiers as Avoriaz 1800 is a pedestrianized village where everything is within walking distance. Most stages are located in the village or are accessible via pedestrian-friendly cable cars like the Prodains Express. There are plenty of other activities such as the Aquariaz water park, dog sledding, and the various day parties that do not require skiing skills.
What kind of clothing should I pack for Snowboxx?
You will need a mix of technical ski gear for the daytime and warm, layered festival attire for the evening outdoor stages. While many people wear their ski jackets and trousers to the mainstage, fancy dress is also a huge part of the Snowboxx tradition. Make sure to bring sturdy snow boots with good grip, as the village streets can be icy and slippery when walking between venues at night.
How does the car-free resort system work for luggage?
When you arrive at the Avoriaz welcome center by bus or car, you cannot drive to your accommodation. You can use the large sleds provided to pull your own luggage, or you can pay for a horse-drawn sleigh or a snow-cat taxi to take you and your bags to your apartment. These services operate 24 hours a day during the festival week to accommodate late arrivals and early departures.
What happens if the weather is bad during the festival?
The festival production team is experienced in mountain weather and most events will proceed as planned unless there are safety concerns such as high winds for the cable cars. The mainstage is outdoors, but many of the smaller venues and after-parties are located inside bars or clubs. In the case of heavy snow, the mountain parties are often moved to lower altitudes or indoor venues to ensure everyone stays safe and warm.
