The fifth partnership between La Sportiva and the Sports Festival, to take place in Trento from 12 to 15 October, has been confirmed.

After the success of the previous editions, this major event dedicated to the world of sport will return to Trento from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 October, featuring talks, workshops and debates over four memorable days. La Sportiva is proud to confirm, for the fifth consecutive year, that it will partner this event, thereby reaffirming its active commitment to promoting both sporting culture and its own local area. 

The mountain comes to town once more, together with the biggest names in sport climbing, athletes who, for years, have proudly borne the yellow-black flag. In attendance at the climbing camp in Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore will be Stefano Ghisolfi, Angelika Rainer, Andrea Lanfri and Matteo Zurloni, on 12, 13, 14 and 15 October respectively. Fans of the discipline will thus have the opportunity to test themselves on the blocks together with these legendary figures, come to Trento to inspire participants to pursue their passion and celebrate the sport. But there's more; La Sportiva invites you to the premises of the Trento Filarmonica to listen as Anton Krupicka shares his experiences, stories and the passion that has always drawn him to the mountains and the world of sport.

“It is a real honour for us to be involved once again with this important sporting celebration in our home territory.” said Giulia Delladio, Corporate Marketing Director of La Sportiva. “The presence of athletes of this calibre provides a unique opportunity for discussion, allowing us to gather ideas and advice on ways to further improve our equipment, designed and developed to meet the needs of each individual athlete. And then, making it possible for climbing enthusiasts to meet their heroes in person and share precious moments with them is another aspect that makes us extremely proud of the work we do."
