GRAND WINTER FINALE AT THE WHITE PEARL MOUNTAIN DAYS

After ten days filled with joie de vivre, international beats and indulgent lightness, the White Pearl Mountain Days 2026 presented by Visa in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn came to a close with an abundance of positive emotions. Thousands of visitors celebrated on sunny terraces, danced against an impressive alpine backdrop and once again made the event one of the highlights of the winter season.

Winter is back. Sunshine, snowfall, powder snow and perfectly groomed slopes made guests’ hearts beat faster—just like the line-up featuring international top DJs, local heroes and numerous live acts. A vibrant atmosphere shaped the entire programme, from the first days to the grand finale, with one constant throughout: great vibes and the unmistakable “White Pearl Spirit.”

Four experiences that inspire. The perfect harmony of four core experiences—music, sunny skiing, balance & recovery, and culinary delights—once again impressed across the board in 2026. This unique combination of movement, indulgence and lifestyle makes the White Pearl Mountain Days presented by Visa an event crafted with great attention to detail, attracting guests from across Europe.

Brilliant mix & international highlights. International top acts and rising artists created unforgettable moments at numerous locations. Highlights included Wade, whose energetic tech-house style regularly tops international charts, as well as Disco Dom, who brought international festival vibes to the Alps. Slashy Disco, representing the local scene, also impressed as a local hero with maximum danceability and energy.

Innovation meets lifestyle. New formats introduced in 2026 added special highlights and further evolved the event experience. The Visa White Pearl Lounge, the Organics White Pearl Garden, and the Defender White Pearl Night were extremely well received by guests and expanded the event with new premium elements. These additions underline the ambition to continuously develop the White Pearl Mountain Days presented by Visa and set new impulses each year.

In harmony with yourself. A fixed component of the event remains the popular Balance & Recovery programme by Merkur Versicherung. More than 50 sessions focusing on movement, regeneration and inner balance provided the perfect complement to music and skiing, contributing significantly to the holistic experience.

To be continued. The mix of alpine lifestyle, beach-club vibes and mindful indulgence continues to grow the White Pearl Mountain Days community year after year. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll want to return again—and you can already look forward to the next edition from March 19 to 28, 2027.

"The White Pearl Mountain Days are the highlight of the season finale in the Skicircus. Since some lifts start operating as early as 8 a.m., guests can fully enjoy perfectly groomed slopes in the morning before relaxing at the event locations afterwards. The combination of diverse culinary offerings, musical entertainment and sunny skiing perfectly reflects the spirit of the Home of Lässig."
