Ice Climbing World Championship

Our editorial team always tries to provide detailed and accurate information, but it is possible that events undergo changes that we are unable to update in real time. Exact details on dates, times and programmes can be obtained directly from the organiser.
At the end of January 2017, the world’s best ice-climbers will come to South Tyrol and furnish proof of their ability on one of the biggest ice towers throughout Europe. It will surely be a spectacular event!

The Icefight became a World Cup became a world championship… This is the abridged version of the career of the little ice climbing competition in the Passeiertal valley that became the most important ice-climbing contest of the year. 

It’s no wonder that the international ice-climbing federation has chosen the ice tower in Rabenstein near Moos in Passeier for the upcoming world championship. On the one hand, the facilities with a new multipurpose building belong to the biggest and most difficult ones throughout Europe. 

On the other hand, the winter temperatures are mostly perfect for ice-climbing. In addition, over the past years, the valley north of Meran has established its reputation as a venue for ice-climbing events – at the latest with the World Cup in 2013. 

Ice-climbers – ready, steady, go!

About 150 ice-climbers from 25 nations will participate in the Ice Climbing World Championship from 27 to 29 January 2017 – among them many stars of this ice-cold kind of winter sport.

During the competitions in the discipline "Lead" (difficulty climbing), the competitors will give anything to emerge victorious – and guarantee tension and action!
