After previous success in Andorra, the Big Snow Festival was all set to rock Serbia in 2012. However, that’s had to change, and now the fest is heading to the Italian resort of Sauze D’Oulx from 25th March to 1st April.

It’s another fine addition to an increasingly packed ‘snow festival’ season that already includes Mayrhofen’s Altitude Comedy Festival and Morzine’s Basscamp Festival. Confirmed on the line-up so far are Modestep, Judge Jules, Micky Slim, Zomboy, Eddy Temple Morris, Stereotype and many more.

Access to the Milky Way ski area means that there’s over 600 pistes to choose from (as well as 3 terrain parks), and the place isn’t short of a bar or two in which to soak up one of the biggest parties in the mountains.

Packages starting from at £399 per person, so head over to www.nomud.com or call 0844 879 8119 to get your spot.
