Magical art in the Silvretta Arena 

10. – 15.01.2027

2027 promises to be a magical year at ‘Formen in Weiss’ in Ischgl: under the theme ‘Harry Potter™ x LEGO®’, international artists will be drawing inspiration from what is arguably the world’s most famous wizarding world. With a wealth of creativity and craftsmanship, a total of ten extraordinary sculptures, inspired by the world of Harry Potter™, will be created. This brings together the intricate artistry of the carvers and iconic elements from the Harry Potter universe.

Motto 2027: Harry Potter™ x LEGO®

The 2027 Sculpture Festival in Ischgl is entirely dedicated to ‘Harry Potter™’ – a magical fusion of the world of the famous wizard-in-training and impressive snow art. On display are extraordinary sculptures inspired by well-known characters, scenes and elements from the world of Harry Potter™.

The sculptures focus on:

  • Magical motifs: familiar elements from the world of Harry Potter™
  • Highly detailed design: Characters and scenes are brought to life with great precision and craftsmanship
