'Firn & Fun': dance into May at about 2500 metres of altitude
From 1st May Zell am See-Kaprun celebrates its annual spring festival on Kitzsteinhorn
But snow alone would definitely not be enough. For this reason, the visitors of the 'Firn & Fun' event can be looking forward to more than just the many kilometres of perfect pistes on the local mountain of Kaprun: the programme boasts lots of enjoyable highlights. On Thursday, 1st May, the starting gun is fired: hot Latin rhythms of 'De La Rosa' and sexy Brazilian dancers make sure that the long weekend gains momentum right from the start. And at the Alpincenter on Kitzsteinhorn DJ Gari Stu is sure to get his audience going as well. He'll put the very best of his discs on the turntables. The start-up of the 'Firn & Fun' happening - a true delight for your ears and eyes!
Delights for the palate, however, will be served by Alexander Fankhauser. The TV stars cook who has received the award 'Cook of the Year 2005' by the travel guide Gault Millau is visiting the restaurant Gletschermühle on Saturday 3rd May. There, he'll pamper his guests with exquisite creations from the international cuisine - after all, it is no coincidence that he is one of Austria's best chefs. The dinner for gourmets with a view at the picturesque Alpine panorama marks the perfect ending of a unique day.
On Saturday visitors can enjoy shiatsu massages and relax at the 'Piz Buin Massage Drive-In' right off the pistes. This also holds true for Friday, 2nd May, when masseurs are offering to treat sore muscles and thus guarantee a relaxed mood. After a reviving cure like that, the testing session of the new ski and board models for the winter season of 2008/2009 cannot be long enough. Manufacturers like Atomic, Rossingol, Völkl, Head and many more are putting their products on display.
Rough times are waiting for the boards of the participants of the slope style contest 'Ride 'n' Roll' in the Roxy Glacier Park. On Saturday at 9 a.m. the athletes are beginning their training and the presentation ceremony is scheduled for 3 p.m. - a real highlight not only for the protagonists. And who knows? Maybe the world cup stars Michael Walchhofer, Mario Fuchs, Georg Streitberger, and Marcel Hirscher are in the audience as well. They have already announced their coming for the 'Firn & Fun' happening and are going to sign autographs for their fans at the Alpincenter.
The spring festival on Kitzsteinhorn is ending just like it began. DJ Gari Stu will raise the roof once again on Sunday 4th May - the perfect final after musical highlights like the live concerts of 'T-NG' on Friday and 'Common Men' on Saturday.
