ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 2023: 18,000 fans celebrated on Sölden‘s Giggijoch at over 2,000 meters

With international top headliners such as Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, Meduza and the Australian twin duo Nervo, the ninth edition of the ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL (EMF) once again thrilled the fans. A (re)mix of electrifying beats, snow-sure skiing fun and the finest culinary delights was on the program. For the first time as "extended version", the Electric Mountain Side Events took place very successfully from Monday to Wednesday at trendy locations in the ski area. On Thursday and Friday, a total of 18,000 fans celebrated the Electric Mountain Festival on Giggijoch at over 2,000 meters. Next year’s anniversary edition will be held from 08 to 12 April 2024.

Internationally hip DJ celebrities such as Don Diablo, Nervo, Oliver Heldens, Tujamo, Vini Vinci and others were delighted with the exuberant atmosphere that prevailed throughout Sölden during the festival week from 10 to 14 April. Among the Sölden regulars are the twin sisters Miriam and Olivia Nervo. Why do the Australian girls keep coming back? "There is no other festival like this. We are happy to be a part of it. In Sölden, we feel especially at ease." Also, the Dutch DJ and producer Oliver Heldens always has good memories of Sölden: "I love skiing. Whenever there is an opportunity, I am on the slopes. That's why I also brought my family to Ötztal."

There were some innovations for the music fans at the ninth ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL: The "extended version" of the festival not only included additional locations in the ski area with even more live acts, but also a networking event in the ice Q, where partners, management and DJs exchanged ideas at 3,048 meters. Under the motto SuSCHI & Beats, gourmands enjoyed the combination of cool sounds, an exclusive food bar by 2-toque chef Klaus Holzer and sushi from the renowned sushi master Dil Ghamal in one of the two VIP areas on Giggijoch. From 08 to 12 April 2024, the ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL invites you to join its tenth anniversary.
