The Altitude Comedy Festival is back for 2012 and the world’s biggest names in comedy will be heading to Mayrhofen in Austria for six nights of hilarity.
Put this in your diary
Seriously, if you are doing a season nearby and have a spare few days, or if you are in the UK and looking for a decent ski trip this year, then The Altitude Festival is definitely something that should not be overlooked. It runs from Monday 26th to Satruday 31st of March.
Along with venues designed for comedy and cabaret, excellent restaurants, luxurious hotels and enticing spas, Mayrhofen, Austria also offers access to the entire Zillertal super ski area with 639km of piste and 167 lifts and gondolas.
Altitude will be celebrating its 5th birthday this year, and they shall be doing it in style. Expect fantastic comedy (obviously); awesome riding conditions (hopefully); and some late night parties where you can let your hair down.
You could head over with your whole family or with a big bunch of mates, it is entirely up to you, just pop on your party hat, pack your ski gear and enjoy the week.
So far the line up includes some massive names, from the mightily controversial Frankie Boyle, to the musically majestic Tim Minchin. There will also be great performances from Jimmy Carr, Al Murray, Ed Byrne and Kevin Bridges.
On the festival’s official website - www.altitudefestival.com - you can sort out your travel to the festival, your accommodation whilst you are there, and your ski hire. There are a number of packages to choose from, or if you want you can simply buy your tickets for the event and arrange the rest yourself.
