SNOW FESTIVAL Flachau

On December 4 and 5, 2026, Flachau transforms into a festival zone: two days filled with live music, festival vibes and big acts on the Mainstage – right in the heart of the mountains. During the day, winter sports meet festival vibes as the entire ski area transforms into an alpine Festival Area. And when the sun disappears behind the mountains, the celebrations continue in the valley.

Friday brings Boney M. Xperience, Münchener Freiheit, Lou Bega & Loona to Flachau with their biggest hits, setting the perfect tone for the festival weekend. Saturday, BUNT. takes over, bringing electronic beats, melodic hooks and plenty of festival energy to Flachau.

Audi FIS Ski World Cup Flachau

On 4 and 5 January 2027, it’s that time again: the Audi FIS Ski World Cup will light up Flachau. When the floodlights come on at the Hermann Maier World Cup course and thousands of fans cheer them on from the sidelines, the world’s best female skiers will give their all for victory.

A very special highlight awaits in 2027: alongside the legendary women’s night slalom, a women’s night giant slalom will provide additional World Cup action for the first time. This means the Audi FIS Ski World Cup Flachau will be a double bill.
