Festivals have long been a reason for people to travel to new destinations you may have never otherwise dreamt of. But no longer is festival-inspired getaways the domain of the summer time, with music festivals sweeping the slopes of Europe this winter, offering snow bunnies a whole new type of ski holiday.
If you haven’t had experienced world-class performers in some of the World’s most incredible views yet, don’t worry! There’s still time to get your party fix before the season passes for another year.
Those new to these snow filled music celebrations might be unsure where to start but thankfully Crystal Ski have created an interactive tool that shares the all-important festival details, including the average cost of a beer, the cost per act, ticket cost and average Spotify listeners.
