Alps View Festival

Over two spring days, Alps View Festival turns the Col de la Vue des Alpes in the canton of Neuchâtel into a setting for electronic music. The 2027 edition takes place on 23 and 24 April on the pass, around 1280 metres above sea level, which links the Jura Mountains with the Alpine region. DJs and live acts perform outdoors against the sweeping backdrop of the mountain range. Since its first edition, the young festival has established itself within French-speaking Switzerland’s rave scene, drawing several thousand visitors.

The programme has a clear techno focus, with artist names announced gradually. Located directly on the pass road, the site can be reached by bus or car. Deliberately compact, the open-air event combines musical energy with the calm of its mountain setting. Those looking for electronic sounds beyond the major city festivals will find an intimate atmosphere with expansive views. Its clear techno focus has made the festival a fixture in the electronic scene’s calendar around La Chaux-de-Fonds.
