The 2025\/26 ski season is still underway, but the end is approaching, as the last days on the slopes are slowly coming to an end in the ski resorts this spring. However, that doesn’t mean the atmosphere in the mountains is winding down. Quite the contrary. In the ski resorts, both on and off the slopes, things are really heating up again in terms of events. SnowTrex<\/a> has compiled a list of the top events that winter sports enthusiasts can look forward to at the 2026 ski closing in the coming weeks, with performances by Herbert Gr\u00f6nemeyer, Timmy Trumpet, Christina Aguilera and Rea Garvey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

21 March: Compl\u00e8tement \u00e0 La Masse – Les Menuires (France)<\/h2>\n

Following the example of Gardenissima, one of the most athletic and enjoyable events in the Alps takes place in the French high mountains at the end of the ski season. In 2026, the \u2018Compl\u00e8tement \u00e0 La Masse\u2019 will take place for the fourth time in the Les Menuires – St. Martin ski area<\/a> (150 kilometres of slopes at an altitude of up to 2,850 metres) in the huge Les 3 Vall\u00e9es ski region<\/a> (600 kilometres of slopes). This is a giant slalom in which participants have to overcome 1,000 metres of altitude difference and navigate more than 150 gates. But that’s not all. In addition to speed, technique and skill are also important on the slopes. In addition to the classic giant slalom gates, the course is also peppered with obstacles such as moguls and even water basins. True to the motto \u2018being there is everything\u2019, participants and visitors can look forward to a great show on 21 March and enjoy the award ceremony and a party with DJ set after the race.<\/p>\n

21 to 28 March: Cologne Week – Hintertux (Austria)<\/h2>\n

A week packed with events, starting with live concerts by artists from the Zillertal and Cologne such as Rabaue, Paveier, R\u00e4uber and Bl\u00e4ck F\u00f6\u00f6ss: this is \u2018K\u00f6lsche Woche\u2019 (Cologne Week) in the snow, now in its 22nd year, but that’s not all. The marathon of celebrations in the Hintertux Glacier ski area<\/a> (60 kilometres of slopes at an altitude of up to 3,250 metres) also includes parties, for example in the legendary Hohenhaus Tenne apr\u00e8s-ski hut, early bird skiing, the Hintertux Glacier Open Air and a picnic on the slopes. In addition to the concerts, winter sports enthusiasts can of course also enjoy a morning pint here: in true style, Fr\u00fch K\u00f6lsch is served.<\/p>\n

28 March: South Tyrolean Gardenissima – Val Gardena (Italy)<\/h2>\n

When talking about pure skiing tradition, the Gardenissima at the end of the season and skiing in 2026 cannot be left out. The slope in the South Tyrolean Dolomites is not only considered by winter sports enthusiasts to be one of the most beautiful of its kind in the Alps. In 2026, spring skiing will once again serve as the stage for the world’s longest giant slalom race, as it has done for more than a quarter of a century. The course is more than 6 km long in total, with 115 gates, and leads from Seceda (2,518 m above sea level) to the valley station in Gr\u00f6den (1,485 m) in the Val Gardena\/Alpe di Siusi ski area<\/a> (181 km of slopes at up to 2,518 m above sea level). And anyone can experience this legendary descent, whether they are amateur skiers or World Cup athletes.<\/p>\n
