We've previously discussed some of the most exciting venues for festivals - brand new two day music and skiing extravaganza Polaris should probably join that list. Located over 2200 metres up a mountain with panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, Polaris arrives at the Verbier Ski Resort on the 11th and 12th of December, welcoming 1000 revellers to party hard in one of the most stunning settings imaginable.

The line up is looking equally as inviting, with Luciano, Seth Troxler, Carl Craig and Mad Mike Banks, DJ Koze,Andrea Oliva and the appropriately named Mountain People amongst the first acts added. There's also going to be a sledge race between the DJs playing, with the winner earning an invite back next year. For more on festivals, head here.
