Winter Finals 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.

Mountain Sun Beats: music at altitude

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.

Side events

  • Weißwurstparty at Rifugio Salei on Passo Sella, featuring traditional Bavarian white sausages, beer, and live music.
  • Lockenfest in Plan de Gralba, organized by the Freeride Club Gherdëina: the classic challenge of crossing a pool of water on skis and snowboards, complete with barbecues, beer, and plenty of fun.

The Grand Finale

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.

A blend of sport and celebration

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.
