Dolomites Snow Sculptures Festival

15-17 and 20-22 January 2025. Winter art in San Vigilio and San Candido

On January 15-17 and 20-22, 2025, the Dolomites Snow Sculptures Festival, takes place in Trentino Alto Adige reaching this year its 33rd edition.

The Dolomites Snow Sculptures Festival is organized in two January weekends  in the municipalities of San Vigilio and San Candido in South Tyrol, at the foot of the Dolomites:
– first in San Vigilio – January 15-17
– one week later in San Candido – January 20-22

Over 30 artists, divided into 10 teams, give life to the festival in the most evocative corners of both locations. In these corners, enormous cubes of pressed snow (3x3x3 m) are placed at the artists’ disposal. They are allowed to use a saw, a shovel, and only water to solidify their artwork.

Snow sculptures must be completed within three days of the event. Then it’s up to the visitors and the inhabitants to choose the best ones.

The venue is cunningly illuminated so the sculptures can be admired also at night. Sculptures are left there until spring thaw melts them
