the most incredible ice structure ever created,
something Daone and the entire ice climbing
movement can justifiably be proud of.

Three fun-packed and spectacular ice climbing
days await in Daone. Three days of celebrations
and out-of-this world competitions with the best
ice climbers in the world battling for the
prestigious UIAA title. Many fans will be there
to cheer them on and to admire the classic "La
Sportiva Ice Meeting Pareti di Cristallo", which
this year celebrates its 8th anniversary on more
than 140 icefalls in the valley. Furthermore, in
the wake of last year's success, the special
"Educational" will once again teach
schoolchildren the natural beauties of Valle di
Daone by bringing them into direct contact with
the mountain environment.

So Valle di Daone, after three World Cup editions and last year's European and World Ice Championship Ice Boulder, will once again take the driving seat of ice climbing competitions with the first stage of the Ice World Cup 2006 Difficulty and Speed. And once again the Pareti di Cristallo Committee is headed by the newly elected president Romolo Ghezzi, who is flanked by an army of volunteers, Maurizio Gallo, the ice
structure engineer and Riccardo Milani, the organisational director of the event. They are the life and soul of this great international happening which renders Daone one of the most important ice climbing centers in the world.

Will the 2005 World and European Champions Harald Berger and Ines Papert manage to repeat last
year's success? Will there be the same exciting superfinal, which saw the Austrian and German beat the Italian Herbert Klammer and the Russina Natalia Koulikova right at the last moment? One thing is certain: in what is reputed to be the world's most beautiful ice climbing competition exciting moments abound. Come here to believe it!

Three days of international sport, ice climbing and nature await in an amazing mountain environment, as does the proverbial welcome and hospitality of the entire Valle di Daone.
