The next edition of the world's most important mountaineering award will take place in Valle d’Aosta, Italy, and is organised by the Italian Region in collaboration with "Montagnes Magazine” and “Groupe Haute Montagne”.
On 26 January 2007 Marko Prezelj and Boris Lorencic from Slovenia were awarded the "Golden ice axe" for their new route on Chomo Lhari. Pavle Kozjek was awarded the Spectators Choice for his new route climbed solo up Cho Oyu. This was the 16th edition of the mountaineering award, created by the French Montagnes magazine, to honour the best mountaineering achievement of the previous year.
