What Dutchweek does
Dutchweek B.V. is a Rotterdam-based private company that organizes and operates winter sports festival events across Alpine destinations in Austria and Italy, with a one-off expansion into Norway. Its core product is a multi-day festival combining skiing and snowboarding with après-ski parties, DJ sets, and live music, delivered through seven distinct event brands per season (e.g., Dutchweek Italia at Sauze d'Oulx, Dutchweek Saalbach, Dutchweek Gerlos, Dutchweek Montafon, Dutchweek Zell am See-Kaprun, plus Kick-Off variants) and sold as access wristbands. The company serves primarily Dutch and Belgian young-adult winter sports enthusiasts (18+) traveling in groups, and increasingly corporate clients seeking organized group ski trips of 12+ or custom trips of 25+.
The underlying technology stack is thin and non-proprietary: ticketing runs exclusively through the CM.com platform, on-site payments through SumUp, ticket resale through TicketSwap, and marketing/analytics through Google Analytics and Meta tracking. No proprietary software, mobile app, or AI/ML systems are disclosed; the competitive differentiation sits in event programming, brand identity ("Making Memories Together"), destination partnerships, and a partner ecosystem spanning ski resorts, beverage and lifestyle brands, and rental operators. Distribution combines a self-serve ticketshop on dutchweek.nl, Summit Travel as the official travel partner bundling accommodation and ski passes, and local tourist offices at each destination.
Dutchweek makes money primarily through festival wristband/ticket sales via CM.com (phased Early Bird through Late Bird pricing, plus group incentives such as Buy 10 Get 11), with secondary revenue from partner commissions on Summit Travel packages and tertiary revenue from corporate and custom group trip coordination services. The business is highly seasonal (events run January–March), operated by a lean core team of roughly 15–20 people including content and field crew, and is privately held by co-owners Anouk Schrijver and Virgil Bremer with founder Wim de Zwart serving as Ambassador.

Dutchweek competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- TUI Group: Global travel and tourism conglomerate with extensive winter sports and ski holiday offerings across Europe. Competitor only at the tour operator level; does not deliver festival-style event programming.
- Peak Retreats: French and UK ski holiday specialist operating across European Alpine resorts. Comparable package-based ski holiday offering with similar accommodation and lift pass bundling, without festival event programming.
- Inghams: Long-established UK ski and alpine holiday operator offering packages across Europe. Overlaps on travel packaging and resort partnerships, but operates a traditional tour operator model.
- Crystal Ski Holidays: UK ski holiday specialist offering packages across European resorts. Comparable tour operator model with similar Alpine destination portfolio; lacks the festival/nightlife component that differentiates Dutchweek.
- Sunweb Group: Major Dutch tour operator with ski and winter sports packages across European Alps. Overlaps with Dutchweek's travel packaging but lacks dedicated festival/party programming and target youth niche.
- Sportfair: Dutch travel specialist focused on ski and active sports holidays in the Alps. Comparable customer base (Dutch skiers) and destination overlap, but operates traditional tour operator model without festival elements.
Direct peers
- Snowboxx: UK-launched ski festival in Avoriaz (French Alps) combining skiing with live music, DJ sets, and apres-ski programming. Closely comparable operating model and target demographic to Dutchweek, serving a different national market.
- Mountainweek: Dutch-organized multi-day ski festival in the Alps targeting the same Dutch/Belgian young adult demographic with apres-ski, DJ lineups, and bundled travel packages. Directly competes with Dutchweek for the same customer wallet and partner resorts.
- Rise Festival: UK-based ski music festival held in Les Deux Alpes combining week-long skiing with headline DJ performances. Same festival-meets-ski concept as Dutchweek, targeting a UK rather than NL/BE audience.
Others
- Stuba (StubHub-style ticket resale) / TicketSwap: Dutch-origin secondary ticketing marketplace integrated as Dutchweek's official resale partner (TicketSwap). Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor; indicates Dutchweek has built the secondary-market infrastructure rather than competing in ticketing itself.
