A long-running, British-flavoured music-and-skiing week in the Zillertal, with venues including a forest clearing and an igloo alongside conventional stages. Big-name DJs and live acts play across six days and five nights while the daytime is spent on Mayrhofen's slopes. The 2027 edition is the 27th, so the format is well worn in and unapologetically party-first.

How to attend

Book at snowbombing.com. The event is sold in three parts: a wristband from around GBP 229 for mountain venue access, accommodation from a similar figure, and optional extras like ski lessons and VIP upgrades. A GBP 50 deposit secures a place with the balance paid in instalments. It is open to the public, but the good accommodation tiers sell out early. Fly to Innsbruck or Munich and transfer into the Zillertal.

The 2027 early-bird packages have sold out and the next wave is not on sale yet, so the only thing you can do today is join the launch alert list.

Insider tip

The Forest Party and the igloo Arctic Disco are the sets people actually remember, and both are capacity-limited add-ons - buy them with your wristband rather than hoping on the day.
