Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere full of music and winter sports.

Expect stages split between Electronic and Dance.

Everything happens at Zillertal Arena, in Austria. Saalbach Hinterglemm · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Rave on Snow keeps the same calendar slot each year: December 2026 for this edition, opening on a Tuesday and closing on a Thursday. It is a winter date, so indoor stages and a warm place to sleep matter more than they would in July — and off-season travel is often cheaper. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Austria are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Rave on Snow are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Rave on Snow on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
