The Altitude Comedy Festival sees the world's biggest names in comedy performing over 6 nights at one of the best ski resorts in Europe. 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.

Comedian Andrew Maxwell curates Altitude, opening up his little black book and inviting all his comedy friends to join him for days whizzing around the slopes and providing hours of laughter for the evening entertainment. Maxwell has this to say about Altitude: "Getting to snowboard all day and enjoy my comedian mates on stage and back-stage all night is like a week long, snowy, fantasy island for me".

This year the amazing line up of comedians at Altitude includes: TV heavyweight Jimmy Carr, the return of the almighty Frankie Boyle, everyone's favourite pub landlord Al Murray, veteran observational stand-up Ed Byrne, Scottish 'man-of-the-people' Kevin Bridges, Aussie musical minstrel Tim Minchin, king of the one-liner Milton Jones, Canadian charmer Craig Campbell, moustachioed storyteller Rufus Hound, Radio 4 satirist Marcus Brigstocke, impressionist & occasional beatboxer Terry Alderton, 21^st century slacker Carl Donnelly, 'Ireland's 7^th biggest hip hop crew' Abandoman, irrepressible showmen The Cuban Brothers, and many more of the finest comedians from the UK and International circuit to be announced.

The all-round variety of entertainment at Altitude is second to none. Whether groups of friends on a wild white holiday, a relaxing romantic break or a fun family occasion, the festival caters for everyone's tastes. There are kids shows and crèche facilities during the day and evening (including the popular Comedy Club 4 Kids), bars and restaurants high above the clouds, an empty 15th century spa, secret backcountry bash's and an igloo party. A great piste for Fantastic ski-ing or boarding and plenty of piste taking at night with some of the very best and varied entertainment! What's more Mayrhofen is not an expensive resort, it's the perfect location to enjoy a holiday during the recession. There's no compromise on the ski-ing, entertainment or facilities, but the price for such a quality holiday is extremely affordable!
