The story

TECHimSCHNEE is an electronic open-air snow festival situated on the Hochplateau of Melchsee-Frutt in the Kanton Obwalden, Switzerland. The festival features a dance floor in the snow at an elevation of approximately 1,920 meters, accompanied by panoramic views and gondola access. The ninth edition of the festival took place on March 21, 2026, from 12:00 to 23:00, and the date for 2027 is yet to be announced.

TECHimSCHNEE Festival is a electronic, snow rave festival at Bergrestaurant Erzegg in Melchsee-Frutt, Switzerland. The March 2027 edition runs 13–13 Mar 2027.

Announced so far: ADrik, Annina Frey, Caridino, Marc Improof, Michelle Vanja, Novi Maschilton, Pected and Ra-Moon and 1 more. Expect stages split between Electronic and Snow Rave.

Everything happens at Bergrestaurant Erzegg, in Melchsee-Frutt. Sarnen · 20 km · about 30 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

TECHimSCHNEE Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: March 2027 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Saturday. It falls in spring, ahead of the summer festival rush, which usually keeps travel cheaper than the July and August dates. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Melchsee-Frutt 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.

• Open-air stage with a powerful sound system on the snow
• Professional laser show and ice installations
• Hot tent for warming up, ice bar, wooden bar, and food zones
• Chill-out lounge with deck chairs and mountain views
• Gondola ride included in the ticket; special buses available in the evening to Sarnen

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at TECHimSCHNEE Festival 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 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Bern Airport, check the transfer time to Melchsee-Frutt before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow TECHimSCHNEE Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
