Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027

The 2027 lineup had not been announced at the time of research; organisers will publish headliners separately. The 2026 edition featured acts including TREAM, Harris & Ford, BigTim, Salvatore Mancuso, Steve Lima and Janssen. Friday, 15 January 2027, opens the weekend with the pre-party at the mountain station. On Saturday, 16 January 2027, the Welcome Stage at the Valisera valley station starts at 07:30. Top DJs on the mountain are scheduled from about 10:00 to 17:30. Skiing or snowboarding into the valley is possible until 16:30; after that the gondola takes guests down. The Valley Stage on the market square runs in the afternoon and early evening, followed by the afterparty in the market hall.

Pedestrians reach the site on the Valisera cable car from St. Gallenkirch. Skiers can ride the Silvretta Montafon slopes and then join the festival at the mountain station. Connecting lifts and slopes outside the Valisera axis close earlier on festival day; only the Valisera Bahn runs extended hours into the evening.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in St. Gallenkirch

• Travel by train to Schruns, then bus line 650 to the Valisera Bahn valley station. A multi-day WildPass can include daytime public transport from Feldkirch or Bludenz. Festival coaches and limited parking at Valisera Bahn (St. Gallenkirch 198a) are alternatives.
• January at over 2,100 m means cold, wind and snow: waterproof layers, gloves, a hat and solid footwear; skiers need full winter sports gear.
• Book hotels and apartments in St. Gallenkirch, Schruns, Gaschurn and the wider Montafon early; festival weekend and peak ski season overlap.
• Use public transport on the day: parking is tight because of coach groups. Bag checks apply. Glass, cans, pyrotechnics, bulky luggage and unaccredited professional cameras are banned. There are no lockers on the mountain.
• Skiers who only want pistes should use other lifts such as Hochjoch, Zamang, Grasjoch, Garfrescha or Versettla. Minors need written parental consent.
