International Snow & Ice Sculpture Contest

San Martino di Castrozza presents a new edition of the International Snow & Ice Sculpture Contest full of mystery and magic in a world of snow and ice.
On the main square and along the streets in Bruges, from January 25 to January 30. takes place the 8. edition of the International Snow & Ice Sculpture Contest organized, that involves many international teams.

International and professional ice sculptors work iced massive snow blocks, from which the figures and shapes can then be cut. The combination of architectural lighting and sparkling ice creates a magical and fairylike showpiece, which is guaranteed to make you shiver: not only with the cold, but also from wonder and admiration.

The international team of professional ice sculptors have to complete their titanic work in the 5 days leading up to the opening. These ice artists – who come from countries as diverse as China, Canada, The United States, Sweden, Holland and Belgium – all have many years of experience and regularly participate in competitions such as the International snow & ice sculpture contest.
