Snowboxx Festival

Where is Snowboxx?

Avoriaz in the Portes du Soleil region is home to the renowned Snowboxx festival. The Portes du Soleil area is made up of 14 different resorts, the most well-known ones include Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets, with Avoriaz being the highest resort. The ski area offers an incredible 650km of pistes, 200 lifts and 11 snow parks. For those looking for more cruisy skiing, there are plenty of wide blues and greens, and for the advanced skiers feeling adventurous, tackle the notoriously challenging Swiss Wall.

Transport to Avoriaz is very simple; fly into Geneva and from here you can get a bus, private transfer, or train. You could also hire a car, but the resort is car-free, so it would be more convenient to get there via another mode of transport. The closest train station is Thonon Les Bains Station (TGV), Cluses Station and Geneve Station. From the train stations there are shuttles and coaches to ferry people to the Welcome Point in resort. There are special electric taxis and horse drawn sleighs to take you from the Welcome Point or the Cable Car station to your accommodation.
