The new winter event series Nock Beats brought a fresh sound to the snow-covered mountains of Bad Kleinkirchheim in the winter of 2025/26. Set amongst the rolling hills of the Nockberge, international house, techno and electro artists blend with a unique alpine setting, Carinthian cuisine and an authentic winter atmosphere. Numerous events transform mountain huts, mountain restaurants and the village square into energetic dance floors – right in the middle of the snow.
The 2025/26 Nockbeats season is now behind us – and we’d like to thank you for an unforgettable winter, full of rhythm, atmosphere and special moments!
We can’t wait for the next edition in winter 2026/27. The exact dates will be announced shortly – but one thing is certain: it will be another unique event. Stay tuned!
At Nock Beats, nature, modernity and musical energy come together:
DJs, live acts and instrumental artists such as electronic violin, saxophone or drums create an experience far removed from traditional après-ski – atmospheric, high-quality and full of emotion. The event series brings both international and regional artists to the stage, including Der Spiegelmann, Emely Myles, DJ Sonic Snares, Mia Nova, Der Harmonika Mann and many more.
On 27 December 2025, the new Dorfplatz site was transformed into a vibrant festival stage for the first time – setting the tone for the entire winter season of events. The premiere of NOCK BEATS brought violin DJ sets, vocal house performances, DJ & drums sessions and energetic saxophone acts right into the heart of wintry Bad Kleinkirchheim. Artists such as Joseph Erin, Phil Reisinger, Julia Blatterer on the violin, Der Spiegelmann on the saxophone, Emely Myles and others created vibrant soundscapes and genuine goose-bump moments. The opening event demonstrated what the new series of events is capable of.
Nock Beats is the perfect companion for an active winter’s day: first hit the slopes at the ski and spa resort, then head to the St. Kathrein or Thermal Römerbad spas – and round off the day by enjoying some hot beats against a winter backdrop.
Nock Beats makes winter in Bad Kleinkirchheim something special – an unforgettable sound experience in the heart of the Nockberge mountains.
“As a family of five, we’re absolutely thrilled. It wasn’t just us adults who loved it – our teenage children thought it was brilliant too!”

Nock Beats is a new winter event series in Bad Kleinkirchheim that combines electronic music with an alpine winter atmosphere. International and regional DJs, live acts and instrumental artists will be providing top-quality sounds at a total of 16 free events in mountain huts, mountain restaurants and on the village square – set against the snow-covered backdrop of the Nockberge mountains.
The events are spread across several venues in the Bad Kleinkirchheim ski resort. These include the new Dorfplatz area as well as selected huts and mountain restaurants such as the Weltcup Poldl ski hut, the Nock In panorama restaurant, the Waldtratte Kaiserburg EINS, the Maibrunnhütte and the Unterwirt Hüttn. Each venue offers its own unique setting with panoramic views, alpine flair or atmospheric on-mountain vibes.
Yes, all Nock Beats events are free of charge. You don’t need tickets or to book in advance – perfect for spontaneous days out on the slopes, weekend trips or musical breaks during your winter holiday. The best way to get to the huts is with a valid ski pass.
You don’t need to ski. Many event venues are easily accessible on foot, by cable car or directly from the valley. The grand opening on the village square, as well as several mountain huts, are also ideal for non-skiers, spa guests or visitors who want to enjoy winter away from the slopes.
The musical focus is on electronic genres: house, techno, deep house, vocal house and electro. The DJ sets are complemented by live instruments such as the violin, saxophone and drums – a blend of modern club sounds and an alpine atmosphere.
