New Year is a big deal in all ski resorts, with parties and events marking the start of the year throughout the week. Here are some examples of New Year's Eve events from some of our most popular resorts to whet your appetitie for a New Year ski holiday...
Torchlight Descent – Unmissable event run by ESF and Ski Cool instructors descending the mountain with flaming torches.
Location: Place Caron, 6pm
Light show and guest DJ’s - Celebrate the new year in style
Location: Roof of the Sports Center – The Board, 9pm
New Year Fireworks - The classic pyrotechnic light show extravaganza
Location: Place Caron, midnight!
New Year Show - DJ's, performers and fireworks for the whole resort
Location: Bottom of Bellevarde face, from 9pm
Alternatively enjoy Live music and big-name DJ’s in the après bars (tickets need to be purchased well in advance, particularly for popular venues like Dick’s T Bar)
Set in the village centre a laser, music and street party, hosted by St Anton Illuminated. At 11:30pm smoke fills the square, house music starts playing, and lasers beam over-head. A huge countdown welcomes in the New Year and the streets are filled with party goers dancing until the early hours.
St Anton heavily promotes environmental protection so their New Year show is anti-fireworks.
Raffl’s Hotel:
Controversially, Raffl’s ignores St Anton’s environmental no-fireworks policy and usually hosts a large firework show! The display can be seen from any location in St Anton and spectacularly lights up the mountains. Raffl’s New Year’s Eve Party at the St Antonerhof offers a live band, champagne reception with canapés, 7 course dinner, late night snack and private viewing of the fireworks. This is a real treat which costs in the region of €555 per person.
Anthony’s Happy Valley Steakhouse:
The Anthony’s New Year Party has been an institution in St Anton for over 10 years. Starting at 18:30, guests enjoy a 7-course gala menu, before moving up to the Hotel Rooftop at 11:30pm. With great views of the town, enjoy a glass of prosecco and see in the New Year by watching the laser and firework displays. Guests can make their way back down to the bar, to party until the early hours of the morning.
Mooserwirt and Krazy Kangaruh are two of the most famous après ski bars in the world, Mooserwirt is rumoured to serve more beer (per square metre) than any other bar in Austria! Both venues host popular New Year’s Eve events.
