Ski-Opening Schladming-Dachstein 2026
with Helene Fischer
A season opener in a class of its own: on 11 December 2026, Helene Fischer and her band will kick off the ski season at the Planai Stadium.
With millions of albums and singles sold, numerous number-one albums across the German-speaking world, sold-out stadium and arena tours, and many awards – including multiple Echo Music Awards, the Golden Hen and several Bambis – she has left a lasting mark on the Schlager and pop music scenes.
Concert tickets will be available from 3 August 2026 via oeticket.com.
The Schladming-Dachstein Tourist Board is once again offering special packages this year, comprising a concert ticket, a 2-day ski pass for Ski amadé and two nights’ accommodation at a partner establishment. Sales of the special packages will begin alongside the regular ticket sales on 3 August 2026.
Look forward to an extraordinary concert experience with one of the most successful German-speaking singers and entertainers!
That was the 2025 Ski-Opening
The Schladming-Dachstein 2025 Ski-Opening transformed the Planai Stadion into a stage brimming with emotion, beats and winter cheer. With their high-energy live performances, the Backstreet Boys treated around 50,000 enthusiastic ski and music fans to unforgettable moments against the backdrop of the impressive mountain scenery. During the day, the slopes were rocking; in the evenings, it was the stadium’s turn – perfect snow conditions, a spectacular show and a unique atmosphere made this weekend something truly special.
Backstreet's back in Schladming - three times!
