The ultimate season-closing party in Val Gardena
The Winter Finals are the ultimate event to close the ski season in style in Selva di Val Gardena/Wolkenstein in Gröden, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites in the province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol). For a few days, the ski area transforms into an open-air stage where spring skiing meets sunshine, fine mountain cuisine, and music, with curated DJ sets in huts along the famous Sellaronda circuit.
The heart of the event is the Mountain Sun Beats format: every afternoon, a different mountain hut hosts DJ sets with views of the Dolomite peaks. Events rotate between the Dantercëpies Mountain Lounge, Rifugio Salei at Passo Sella, Piz Seteur, and the Bacher's Après Ski snowbar, offering a relaxed atmosphere where you can ski until late morning and then enjoy music in the sun on high-altitude terraces.
The highlight is The Grand Finale, the big closing party that brings the center of Selva di Val Gardena to life. A free event open to everyone, featuring music, lights, and the energy of major names from the Italian dance scene to celebrate the official end of the winter season in the valley.
The Winter Finals combine a passion for skiing with the festive spirit of après-ski in one of the most beloved valleys of the Dolomites. It is the ideal opportunity to enjoy the final days of snow with a lighthearted vibe, featuring high-altitude sunsets, South Tyrolean culinary specialties, and musical evenings in the heart of the Municipality of Selva di Val Gardena.
The Winter Finals 2026 brought Selva di Val Gardena/Wolkenstein to life from April 1 to 6 with the Mountain Sun Beats format: afternoon DJ sets in huts along the Sellaronda, from the Dantercëpies Mountain Lounge to Rifugio Salei, from Piz Seteur to the Bacher's Après Ski snowbar. On April 4, side events included the Weißwurstparty at Rifugio Salei and the Lockenfest in Plan de Gralba, hosted by the Freeride Club Gherdëina. The Grand Finale on April 5, with free entry, featured Albertino & Fargetta in the village, with Two Kinx, Diegopesx, and an opening set by Mät, for a massive season-closing celebration.
Selva di Val Gardena can be reached by car via the A22 Brenner motorway (Chiusa/Val Gardena exit), driving up the valley. The nearest train station is Chiusa/Bressanone, connected by regular bus services. The most convenient airport is Bolzano; alternatively, Verona and Innsbruck.
Most events, including the Grand Finale in the village, have free entry. For high-altitude events, a ski pass or use of the lifts is required. Updated information is available at www.winterfinals.com and at the Val Gardena tourist office.
Selva di Val Gardena offers a wide range of hotels, garni, and apartments; booking in advance is recommended during the spring high season.
