From February 1st to 4th, 2026, the Dolomites International Snow Sculptures Festival, takes place in San Candido in South Tyrol (Bolzano area), reaching this year its 36th edition.
30 artists give life to their sculptures in the most evocative corners of San Candido. 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 the 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 also be admired at night. Sculptures are left there until the spring thaw melts them
