My Ski Opening Moment

Last year I was there myself, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The slopes were perfectly prepared, and the live concerts at the Planai Stadium created a great atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by how the light show lit up the Planai Stadium – a moment I won't forget anytime soon. Afterwards, it continued at the Hohenhaus Tenne, where you could simply dance, laugh, and enjoy the evening. A perfect weekend of winter sports, music, and atmosphere.
