VSNZ Winter Arc has confirmed its return to the Swiss Alps for 2026, unveiling a second edition set to run from 6th - 8th March, 2026 across Grindelwald and the spectacular Männlichen Bergstation. Following a sold-out debut in 2025, the three-day alpine festival expands capacity to 6,000 while retaining its immersive, chapter-led concept, combining electronic music, mountain architecture and breathtaking natural surroundings into one of Europe’s most distinctive winter events.

The journey begins on Friday in the heart of Grindelwald with Chapter I at Terminal Stage, a free opening ritual designed as a gentle arrival point before the Arc fully ignites. Saturday shifts the experience skyward to 2,225 metres above sea level at Männlichen, where Argy presents his NEWORLD showcase alongside Carlita, HoneyLuv and Sebastian Konrad, transforming the alpine summit into a once-only convergence of sound, altitude and scale.

Sunday delivers the festival’s final ascent, with CamelPhat, Cassian, Fideles and Julia Linkogel driving a powerful closing chapter as sound and light collide against the dramatic mountain backdrop. Each day concludes back in Grindelwald with official after-parties, extending the experience late into the night and grounding the weekend in the village’s rich alpine culture, cuisine and hospitality.
