Music Among the Peaks: The Rhythm of a Trentino Winter

Paradice Music: the symphony of ice

There is something deeply authentic when music is born from the living matter of the mountains. Paradice Music at Passo del Tonale brings the atmosphere to life with truly extraordinary concerts: here the artists play instruments carved out of ice, inside a real igloo.

Imagine fingers brushing translucent strings and keys, melodies blending with the cold breath of high altitude, and you listening wide-eyed, surrounded by walls that seem sculpted by the wind. It is an experience for those who love to be surprised, for those who seek beauty where no one has looked before.

Arriving on foot or with snowshoes, hearing the snow crunch under your boots, letting yourself be wrapped first by silence and then, all at once, by the pure, almost unreal sound of ice instruments. It is a way of celebrating nature not just as a backdrop, but as the true protagonist. Here, even the cold becomes part of the melody.

Dolomiti Ski Jazz: Notes between the slopes and the sun

Then there are those who search for rhythm between one turn and the next, between the white of the slopes and the blue of the sky. The festival Dolomiti Ski Jazz, held in Val di Fiemme, Val di Cembra and Val di Fassa, enchants both on the slopes and beyond: it is the festival that brings jazz music to the mountains, among valleys and mountain huts, on terraces overlooking the peaks.

The beauty is that you don’t need to be a jazz expert: just let yourself be carried away by the groove, by the contagious vitality of the musicians playing in the open air, often surrounded by skiers in colourful suits and children chasing each other in the snow.

Dolomiti Ski Jazz is exactly this: music that breaks the rhythm of the day, that surprises you while taking off your skis, that accompanies you between a laugh and a cup of hot chocolate.
