THE ULTIMATE ALPINE MUSIC FESTIVAL

It’s not just the world-class music line-up that’s earned Snowbombing the title of the world’s No.1 music festival on snow… With igloo raves 6000ft above sea level, mountain top stages, enchanted forest parties, 650 km of unadulterated piste, an award-winning Snow Park, the infamous pool party, chairlift speed dating, paragliding, the Snolympics, Cable Car-aoke, Snow Limos, and much more, Snowbombing has redefined winter sports holidays and shown what the ultimate alpine music festival looks and sounds like.

New for this year’s ‘Craft of Daft’ is Pat Sharp’s Fun Haus, a brand new star-lit Bavarian bier garden hosted by TV legend and all things retro-pop, Pat Sharp. Take a trip down memory lane as the Haus bands Noasis, Daft as Punk and Antarctic Monkeys play the classics in a homage to the 90s. Party with Peep Show’s Super Hans, strike a pose with House of Voga, hit the right notes at Bang Bang’s Disco Nights, and join winter Olympics hero Eddie The Eagle for an Official Film Screening and Q&A. With all this plus Bongo's Bingo, the Ping Pong Champs and lots more, there’s entertainment and laughs aplenty in Pat’s Alpine Haus of Fun.

Mayrhofen will also play host to The Leder-Hoedown, a traditional Austrian party, taking place in the centre of the village.
