Snow and ice sculpture, Valloire, France, between 21 and 23 January 2011 Valloire celebrates the twentieth anniversary of this amazing event.
You can watch the artists working the snow and ice by day and night until they complete their works, which really are impressive and often stunningly beautiful. The 20eme concours de sculptures de glace takes place on the plateau de Veneys.
There will also be a son et lumiere show on the 20 January which will be particularly spectacular as this is an anniversary year.
The ice sculptures competition is a big event and well worth the visit.
