In the quiet of winter, when the biting cold wraps around the mountains, sculptures begin to take shape — white as freshly fallen snow. In the evening, the moonlight reflects on the ice, turning the landscape into a stage of shimmering light and shadow.
Armed with barbed wire, saws, and shovels, and protected by rubber boots, earmuffs, and gloves, five groups of artists — fifteen talents from Val Gardena — will face off in a contest of pure creativity.
In January, within the enchanting setting of San Vigilio, the Snow Sculpture Festival will come to life: a true competition where the weather — hopefully merciful — acts as the silent judge of these works born from frost and snow.
