Swing on Snow 2026

For six days, the Dolomites region Seiser Alm transforms into a unique soundscape: during Swing on Snow, folk music, brass, soul, pop, and classical merge into an unmistakable alpine festival experience. For 20 years, the WinterMusicFestival has been inviting guests from near and far to combine the joys of winter with musical highlights.

In the mornings, the first notes can be heard at the Seiser Alm cable car mountain station, at midday the music continues in the huts of the Seiser Alm. In the evenings, concerts fill the villages of Kastelruth, Seis am Schlern, Völs am Schlern und Tiers am Rosengarten – often in such an intimate setting that it feels like a private living room concert.

Swing on Snow is a small yet special insider tip: the concerts are personal and intimate – and still of the highest quality. The performing musicians are by no means unknown; many are among the most exciting discoveries in folk, brass, soul, pop, and classical music. Alongside them, renowned bands perform that usually only appear on the big stages.

Who would have thought that artists like Herbert Pixner or Opa’s Dirndl had some of their very first performances at Swing on Snow on the Seiser Alm, before their major breakthroughs? Another fun fact: the ensemble Federspiel recorded their first album at the Hotel Rose Wenzer in Völs am Schlern – a festival story that still resonates today.

For the 20th anniversary, you can look forward to a “Best of” from two decades of festival history, with musical highlights and artists who have shaped the unique character of Swing on Snow.

Swing on Snow will take place over two sessions of three days each: from March 12–14, 2026, and from March 19–21, 2026. All concerts are free of charge, and no seat reservations are required. An eco-friendly arrival is kindly encouraged!
