The 30th edition of Dolomiti Ski Jazz will take place from March 6 to March 15, 2026, across the breathtaking valleys of Val di Fiemme, Val di Fassa, and Val di Cembra. For three decades, this festival has brought together world-class jazz music, Alpine scenery, and winter sports, creating a truly unique experience in the heart of the Italian Dolomites.
Dolomiti Ski Jazz began in 1997 with a simple but ambitious idea: to combine the thrill of skiing with the soulful rhythms of jazz. Over the years, it has grown into one of Europe’s most celebrated winter jazz festivals, attracting top-tier musicians from around the world and becoming a staple of the Alpine cultural calendar. The festival has maintained its original spirit of blending music, mountain adventure, and community, while evolving to include contemporary jazz, blues, and fusion performances.
During Dolomiti Ski Jazz, the mountains themselves become part of the stage. Guests can spend the day skiing down world-class slopes, then enjoy live jazz performances on après-ski stages right at the ski resorts. As evening falls, mountain towns host concerts in cozy venues, offering intimate experiences that feel like a private jazz club set against one of the most spectacular natural backdrops in Europe.
The festival’s lineup spans a rich variety of jazz styles, from classic acoustic ensembles to modern fusion and blues-infused sets, ensuring that every performance captivates both dedicated jazz fans and casual listeners alike. Beyond the music, visitors can immerse themselves in the culture and lifestyle of the Dolomites, enjoying local cuisine, crafts, and family-friendly events. Workshops and daytime jam sessions make the festival accessible to all ages, ensuring that the Alpine jazz experience is shared by everyone.
What makes Dolomiti Ski Jazz truly special is its seamless combination of music and mountains. Few festivals allow you to ski in the morning and attend a world-class jazz concert in the evening, all while surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites. This unique blend of art, adventure, and nature is what has made Dolomiti Ski Jazz a beloved tradition for 30 years.
