Carezza on Fire
Two days of live music, DJ sets, skiing, and festivities in the Carezza ski area
About Carezza on Fire
Carezza on Fire: skiing and music in the heart of the Dolomites
Carezza on Fire is a winter music festival held in the Carezza Dolomites ski area, within the Catinaccio-Rosengarten range in the municipality of Nova Levante/Welschnofen, in the province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige). The event combines two classic South Tyrolean winter passions: skiing on perfectly groomed slopes at the foot of the Catinaccio and high-altitude partying, with live concerts and DJ sets animating the valley station until late.
An après-ski inspired format
The formula is simple and engaging: the morning is dedicated to skiing, while from the early afternoon, music takes center stage. Artists and DJs take turns on stage, turning the arrival area of the slopes into a true open-air dance floor for skiers and music lovers alike. The program alternates between live pop, dance, and 90s revival acts with electronic sets, creating a festive atmosphere that draws crowds from all over South Tyrol and beyond.
Organization and setting
The event is organized by the Nostalgic Car Club Rosengarten, in collaboration with local volunteer firefighters, and has quickly become a popular fixture in the Dolomite winter events calendar. The setting is exceptional: the reddish spires of the Catinaccio (Rosengarten), a UNESCO World Heritage site, provide the backdrop for two days that blend sport, entertainment, and mountain conviviality.
Admission and access
Access to the festival area is generally free with a ski pass, a daily ticket, or a table reservation. On Sunday, entry is free for everyone. The event takes place in the heart of the Carezza ski area, easily accessible from Nova Levante and the Carezza Pass, a gateway to the Dolomiti Superski area.
