What makes snow sculptures so special in Alta Badia?
Snow sculptures are ephemeral works of art created directly on the ski slopes of Alta Badia. Each sculpture is carved from snow and naturally changes over time as winter conditions evolve.
How are snow sculptures created during Ert sön pista?
Snow sculptures are created from compact blocks of snow, shaped outdoors using specialised tools. Artists transform snow into three-dimensional works by making use of its texture, temperature and unique characteristics.
Why is snow a unique material in art compared to stone or wood?
Snow is a temporary artistic material that changes with the weather and the seasons. This ephemeral nature makes every sculpture a work of art that is constantly evolving and exists only during the winter in the Dolomites.
Why does snow art make winter in Alta Badia so special?
Snow art offers a different way to experience the Dolomites of Alta Badia through installations and sculptures created within the winter landscape. Ert sön pista brings together creativity, the mountains and skiing in an experience that goes beyond the slopes.
