The event itself is accompanied by exhibitions on themes related to the mountains. The first ever festival of its kind was launched by the Italian Alpine Club and the town of Trento in 1952. Over the past 50 years the festival has highlighted not just the technical and philosophical changes in alpinism, but also the problems with which the mountain world is confronted. Contributions can be submitted up until 28 February 2006.
