Event Details
Welcome to the SnowpenAir 2027 in Grindelwald
SnowpenAir was the Jungfrau Railways rock and pop open-air in Grindelwald, first on Kleine Scheidegg and later on Maennlichen facing the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau. The 25th edition on 23–24 March 2024 was officially billed as the final show; about 11,000 fans marked the farewell. As of September 2026 no 2027 revival had been confirmed. Check jungfrau.ch before you plan a trip around the old festival dates.
Highlights & Attractions at SnowpenAir in Grindelwald
- Open-air concerts in the snow at about 2,200 m on Maennlichen
- Views of the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau in the Jungfrau region
- Rock, pop, soul and Swiss dialect line-ups; 2024 included Simply Red, Gotthard, Juraya, Goela, Heimweh and Stubete Gaeng
- Mountain-railway access from Grindelwald and Wengen, often bundled with the ticket
- Late-season skiing around Grindelwald-Wengen before or after the shows
- A natural arena with a capped daily crowd (about 6,000 in the last editions)
- After 2024 a successor event is possible, but no SnowpenAir 2027 has been announced
Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
SnowpenAir usually filled a late-March weekend with afternoon summit concerts. In 2024 Saturday featured Juraya, Gotthard and Simply Red; Sunday Stubete Gaeng, Heimweh and Goela, with DJs later at Grindelwald Terminal. There is no 2027 timetable because no new edition is on sale. Founder Urs Kessler said the end of SnowpenAir could open the door to a new event; that is not a confirmed 2027 date.
Grindelwald-Maennlichen is listed to run from 21 November 2026 to 25 April 2027 in the 2026/2027 season; Grindelwald-First from 19 December 2026 to 29 March 2027. A March weekend would still sit inside the winter lift calendar if Maennlichen remains open.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Grindelwald
- Take the train via Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald or Wengen, then the gondola to Maennlichen; drive only to the valley and park at the terminal
- March at 2,200 m brings wind, snow showers and sun; pack layers, solid boots and sun protection
- Check hotels and apartments in Grindelwald and Wengen early; Easter-season beds stay busy even without the festival
- Buy a separate Jungfrau Region ski pass if you want to ski before any concert
- Follow current Grindelwald winter events (including the World Snow Festival in January) on grindelwald.swiss
