Snow sculptures contest

Every year in December, wonderful snow sculptures can be admired in Selva Gardena

Traditionally, every winter the village of Selva Gardena organises a very special event: at the end of the year it hosts a snow sculptures contest, where five artists create their masterpiece out of snow, focusing on different themes each year.

Beforehand, local artists submit models on an annually changing theme. The selected works are then carved in snow in a few days in December. Afterwards a jury and the public judge the works of art.

The oversized figures remain in the cold temperatures until March and thus make it possible to experience the traditional culture of sculpture in Val Gardena.
