Poggerz X Worldwild Party Guide: Raving around the world.

(Scroll down for the list if you have a short intention span 🥴)

When you think of Apres Ski you would be forgiven for expecting lots of shiny ski jackets screaming Johnny Depp Depp Depp. Morzine swerves this cliche' and offering up some seriously good ravey goodness both on and off piste.

DnB, House, UKG and a whole array of low freq bangers can be heard pumping from impressive sound systems around the resorts. Here's the lowdown on the best spots to get your fix in the Haute-Savoie...

Happy Hours Bar - Ardent Tele'Cabin

When: 15:00 - 20:00 Daily. Big party on Wednesdays.

Where: Bottom of Ardent home run. Party bus back to town on Weds. Ask bar.

What: Drum and Bass, House, UK Garage, Hip Hop, Bass Heavy Bangers

Vibe: Chilled(ish) in the day, chaos in the eve

How: Ski down from Avoriaz or get the telecabin down. Buses from Morzine till around 16:00. Hitchhiking is sometimes possible if you miss the bus.

Located at the bottom of the legendary Star Wars run, Happy Hours weekly parties have become infamous; attracting lovers of bass music and good times. Wednesdays see the tent rammed with seasonaires, locals, expats and punters; with local and guest DJ's spinning House, HipHop, UKG, Drum and Bass and party bangers.

This isn't your usual Apres party, more a rave on the ski slope. Things kick off around 3pm and slowly evolve into chaos; expect mayhem past 6pm. Crowd surfing, missing clothes and DIY C02 to be expected. The end of season party is always huge, check it out if you are in town in April.

Take a ski lock or a pair/board you don't mind diggin out of a pile of gear and passed out 'Jungle Juice' victims. Wednesday is the big one and more ravey; but everyday seems to end up in a party. Lately some big DJs have been gracing the tent, such as BISH and Gardna.

Cafe Chaud - Morzine Town

When: Opening times change, usually busy from 9/10pm.

Where: In town up the road from Rue de Bourg. 112 Chem.de la Coutettaz

What: Drum and Bass, House, UK Garage or Punk n Rock depending on the night.

Vibe: Seasonaire hangout and main party spot in town. 

The heart of the seasonairre bars in town, Cafe Chaud, where toffee vodka flows like water, bass vibrates your eyes and your coat/gloves/dignity mysteriously goes missing forever (rip my hat).

Located up the short cut from Rue De Bourg, the infamous bar has been hosting parties for years and is the ruin of many a seasonairres 7am shift. Usually gets pumping around 10pm but is just as fun going early for a fill sesh. Sometimes has free pool aswell. Give the yeti a hug. 

House, Disco, UKG, DnB all get spun on the regular. Resident selector DJ Zenjet is our tip. It's also home to the infamous Punk night which is a fuckload of fun.

L'alpage - Ardent Bowl 

When: Afternoons on the slopes

Where: Ardent Bowl, just down from Avoriaz.

What: Aperol spritz chilling to Hip Hop, Trip Hop, House, Funk

Vibe: Great spot for a midday bev throwing snowballs at the chairlift above. Can get pretty lively now and again.

A sick lil spot for a cocktail or 10 under the chairlifts. Great place have a chill in the sun after smashing the slopes, makes for a very fun slide down at close. You can ski down to Happy Hours from here if you want a bit of an Apres crawl/slide.

L'Opera - Morzine Town

When: From midnight till it all goes pete tong

Where: Morzine town

What: Techno, House and sometime DnB. A BIG headliner event every few months.

Vibe: Can never remember

End of the line. If you end up here you probs wont remember much bar some blurry memories of pumping techno, heinken stubbies and a cage. Open very very late.
