Only a few days left without fear, without being afraid of going outside, because then we will find the dangerous devils. People avoid going out of their houses and look curiously out from their windows.
The traditional pageants invite people to see the devils from a short distance. Here some important dates:

Every year in San Candido there will be held the
International Snow Sculpture Festival during
the month of January. 3x3x3 m blocks
of snow are located in different places of the village and the participating
teams, on this blocks, can play with the wealth of their ideas. The results are
wonderful snow sculptures. The works have all to be finished within 3 days,
then they are going to be inspected and voted by guests and local residents.

Among the runs, the Valle Anterselva offers a great program and so everybody can have an unforgettable weekend.
