Verbier: Freeriding Mecca
Extreme sports
Freeriding is more at home than ever in Verbier. While anxiously awaiting the Freeride World Tour finale on the Bec des Rosses in March — which will conclude a season marked by the surprise addition of a new qualifying race in Georgia (in the Caucasus Mountains) — the station will also welcome Verbier Freeride Week from January 6-14. The schedule includes a Junior event and two Qualifying events, in addition to the return of a women-only event, fondly known as “Freerid’Her.” The following month, all eyes will be on the other side of the valley for the Bruson Freeride Week (February 17-25) which includes three Qualifying events and one Junior event.
