I light Pila 2025
An unforgettable party. A day of fun and solidarity on the snow, different from all the others!
You can only experience it in Pila, on Saturday 09th March 2024.
Back for the eleventh consecutive year I Light Pila, the torchlight procession where everyone, really everyone can participate! On skis, snowboard, on foot or with snowshoes, in a unique setting on the highest mountains in Europe.
Armed with a pink LED torch, adults and children will descend on the slopes forming a long bright and colorful river, until they reach the “village” and celebrate together with an aperitif, music and entertainment.
Sign up for the torchlight procession, you can choose the route you like best, long, demanding, easy or short: in any case, you will carry out an important act of solidarity. The proceeds from the subscriptions, as every year, will be donated by Pila to Susan G. Komen Italia, a non-profit association based on volunteering, which has been operating since 2000 in the fight against breast cancer throughout the country.
