Art on Snow in Gastein

Art. In the snow. And in the heart of the mountains.

Art on Snow in Gastein is one of the most extraordinary art festivals in the province of Salzburg – and the largest of its kind in the Alps.
For one week, the Gastein Valley becomes a stage for international artists and creative forms of expression.

The works are created directly in the snow and are distributed across the ski areas in Gastein – as an impressive open-air studio in a wintry setting.

From snow sculptures to modern installations.
A festival that combines art, nature, and winter in a special way.

An experience that inspires.
And lets you rethink winter.
