An Austrian ski resort isnt the first place youd associate with icons like Stormzy, The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim.
But thats exactly where theyll be in a few months time.
Après-ski this is not: igloo raves, forest parties, underground tennis clubs and, of course, skiing at 8,497ft make Snowbombing a little different from your average festival or ski resort.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Snowbombing has been a fixture on the Alpine festival circuit for quite some time, and its birthday doesnt look set to disappoint.
Drum and bass pioneer Andy C, house maestros Bicep and all-around dance music legends Groove Armada are just a few of the big names on the line-up.
If the ski-resort part of the festival is what caught your eye, then youre in luck. Featuring Europes steepest slope, The Harikiri, and 650km of piste, youre not going to run out of mountain to ski in a hurry.
Aside from the skiing, theres a slew of Alpine activities to keep you entertained: yoga in the mountains from Londons dance yoga experts Fat Buddha Yoga; karaoke and raucous raves in cable cars, chairlift speed dating and even paragliding, if youre feeling up to it.

Set in the Austrian mountain town of Mayrhofen, Snowbombing have also enlisted the help of professional party-goers like LGBTQ+ Sink the Pink, soulful trio The Cuban Brothers and aptly-named tribute band the Antarctic Monkeys (the real Arctic Monkeys are not in attendance, sadly) to commemorate their big 20th.

With a stellar line-up, and a huge array of snow-based activities, Snowbombing could make a strong claim to be, as it calls itself, “The Worlds Greatest Show On Snow.”
Snowbombing festival runs from April 8th-13th in Mayrhofen, Austria, with festival packages starting from £269.
