DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER | 28 NOVEMBER
Pioneers, legends, icons – and to kick off the season in Obertauern: Skiopening Week 2026 will launch the 26/27 winter season with one of the most significant acts in German music history. Die Fantastischen Vier – Smudo, Thomas D, Michi Beck and And.Ypsilon – have been the figureheads of German-language hip-hop for over three decades and will be coming to Obertauern on 28 November 2026.
ANASTACIA | 4 DECEMBER
A voice you hear once and never forget: Anastacia is one of the most charismatic and powerful vocalists in the international pop scene. On 4 December 2026, the pop icon will be coming to Obertauern to provide the second major musical highlight of Ski Opening Week. With her unmistakable, powerful voice and her world-famous hits, she promises an unforgettable concert experience.
Gerald Fleischhacker | 3 December
“ALTER NICER MANN” – Gerald Fleischhacker is back!
With his sixth solo show, Gerald Fleischhacker delivers a spectacular mix of wit and truth – as sharp-tongued and hilariously funny as ever! What happens when you still feel 25, but your back strongly disagrees? Gerald Fleischhacker takes his audience on a humorous journey through the challenges of modern everyday life. From family chaos and technology madness to the never-ending communication struggles between men and women – the comedian doesn't hold back and, above all, doesn't take himself too seriously.
White Carpet Ride | 27 November
On 27 November 2026, the White Carpet Ride in Obertauern will turn the floodlit ski slope at the Edelweissbahn into a platform for men’s health and early detection of prostate cancer. Join us on the slopes to support the Austrian Cancer Aid’s “Loose Tie” campaign. The White Carpet Ride combines a special start to the winter season in Obertauern with a message that matters to us all: men’s health and early detection of prostate cancer. Preventive screening is important, yet all too often postponed. The White Carpet Ride offers a reminder – with a celebration of life, a sense of community and a playful wink.
