UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO, AULA MAGNA, VIA FESTA DEL PERDONO 7
A 3-day festival and exhibition to present the alpine cultural heritage
and the new emerging technologies for the 2014-15 winter sports
The first 2014 edition
In October days are shorter, nights are colder, the first chill suddenly sparks our desire
for snow. Milano Montagna will show and disseminate the passion for all facets of winter
mountain sports including technology and design.
The University of Milan, Università della Montagna and Mountain in the City introduce
the first edition of Milano Montagna, a 3-day festival and exhibition to present the alpine
cultural heritage and the new emerging technologies for the 2014-15 winter. We invite
all winter sport enthusiasts (skiers, freeriders, climbers, alpine tourers), alpine guides
and professionals to exchange their adventures, experiences, projects and innovative
technologies in a unique location in a ‘600 year old University in the heart of Milan,
the city of Design and venue of Expo 2015.
