On Sunday 29th July the end of the 2nd edition of the Lagazuoi Cairn Festival was celebrated with the announcement of the winner and the prize-giving.
Along the pathway leading to the peak of Mount Lagazuoi many participants have created their cairns in numbered and cordoned off workstations. They have realized natural monuments, all different from the others. Works of art of a precarious and temporary nature as a symbol of their love for the mountains.

As by regulation, the evaluation of the jury took into account the following criteria:
• the equilibrium of the form
• the agility of the creation
