Description

Art made of snow: 35th Dolomites Snow Festival enchants San Candido

From 2 to 4 February 2026, the idyllic Dolomite village of San Candido will once again be transformed into an open-air art gallery made of snow. Celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, the Dolomites Snow Festival is not only one of the world's most traditional snow art competitions – it is also an official part of the cultural programme for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina.

Ten international teams will travel to San Candido to create impressive sculptures from massive 3x3x3 metre blocks of snow. The works of art will be created in the open air, turning the centre of the Dolomite village into a fascinating venue for creative snow art.

"The festival is not only an artistic highlight, but also an expression of international encounter and cultural diversity", emphasise the organisers. For 35 years, the Dolomites Snow Festival has attracted visitors from all over the world – now, with its anniversary year in 2026 and its connection to the Olympic Games, it will have a special stage.

The finished sculptures will shine in all their glory in time for the opening ceremony of the Winter Games on 6 February 2026, delighting Olympic guests, locals and tourists alike.
