SNOW MY GOD! 
 WHAT A WEEK THAT WAS!!


At Altitude, you can spend your days shredding the slopes or participating in other activities like snowshoeing, ice-skating, ice-climbing, hiking, or even just relaxing in one of the many many spas & wellness centres, and in the evenings, you'll be treated to a lineup of top-notch comedians that will have you laughing until your sides hurt. 

With a host of awards and nominations, including 'BEST OVERSEAS FESTIVAL 2022' and 'COMEDY FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR', Altitude is an event you won't want to miss. Join us for the best week of your life - every year! 
Not only will you be able to enjoy the winter sports and comedy, but also the beautiful scenery of Mayrhofen and the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the people in Austria.

At Altitude, we offer a truly unmissable experience, this festival offers the unique opportunity to combine the adrenaline rush of the slopes with a sledge-load of endorphin-inducing laughs from our outrageously talented line up of stand-up comedians. 
There’s snow business like show business - Altitude is a chance to see cutting edge comedy like you’ve never seen before. This festival is as loved by the comedians who perform at it as the audience who attends. The incredible and breath-taking Alpine views are the perfect back-drop to an unforgettable five days of laughter and merriment.

Altitude Comedy Festival is an Alpine festival like no other. It's a perfect blend of winter sports and comedy, set in the stunning surroundings of Mayrhofen, Austria. Don't miss this opportunity to have the best week of your life, every year!

Whether you’re an Altitude veteran or virgin, our fun-filled bunch of jokeslingers, wisecrackers, and clown-wranglers will have you falling over with laughter. There’s intimate Après Ski shows, gala performances with the best in the business, and late night impromptu sets you’ll only see once.


If you’ve always thought that the fun goes downhill after the slopes, you’ve obviously not experienced the healing power of comedy. Stiff legs? Broken bones? Our resident comedic doctors will cure your aches and pains by tickling your funny bones.


What sets Altitude apart is the chance to get up close and personal to an incredible mix of internationally renowned comedians and comedy’s brightest up and coming talent. Like being on snow safari, you’ll spot our comedians in their natural habitats, spotting them entangled in chair lifts, snaffling strudels and leaping in their Lederhosen until the early hours.

So hold onto your ski hats, strap yourself in and let our comedy royalty take you on the best week of your life! 


Altitude is the comedic and alpine highlight of the year and is simply not to be missed!

Book Early: 

"Overall, it’s hard to find fault. Massive names in an excellent location with an audience bound by a shared love of the snow. With its pure mountain air and stunning scenery, the backdrop is awesome. It’s nestled in a valley, a fleet of cable-car gondolas ferrying the skiers and the snowboarders up to the snowy peaks. But the lowish altitude means that when the sun comes out, it’s beautifully warm. And my, did the snow come out today. While the atmosphere is slightly reminiscent of Kilkenny’s Cat Laughs, where a small town is suddenly invaded by comedians, and there are familiar faces at every turn. For the comics who usually tour alone, that refuels a camaraderie that’s as much an appeal as the winter sports – and surely one of the main reasons the line-up is so stellar" Chortle.co.uk
