What is a winter closing?

Winter closings are events that celebrate the end of the winter season. In Austria's ski resorts, concerts, spring snow and special ski races come together to transform the end of the season into a lively, spring-like finale.

When will the 2027 winter closings take place in Austria?

The winter closing events in Austria take place from early March to early May. The first events kick off as early as the beginning of March, whilst major season-ending events, such as the Top of the Mountain Closing Concert in Ischgl, do not take place until early May.

What are the most famous winter closing events?

Highlights of the ski closing events include the White Pearl Mountain Days in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, the Weiße Rausch in St. Anton am Arlberg, the Gamsleiten Kriterium in Obertauern, the Electric Mountain Festival in Sölden and the nostalgic ski race on the Feuerkogel.
