  • Early December already brings winter conditions to the Alps, so warm clothing and sturdy footwear are a must
  • Accommodation in Saalbach or Hinterglemm sits closer to the event locations than more remote parts of the valley
  • Plan travel to the region early, since the festival coincides with the start of the ski season
  • Secure tickets and passes ahead of time given the limited capacity of the venues
