After four competition stops around the world, the top freeriders in the world have one last chance to vie for the world title on one of the most exciting and intimidating freeride venues in the world: the Bec des Rosses in Verbier, Switzerland.

There is not a competition face in the world that has seen more glory, defeat, and inspiration than the renowned North face of the Bec des Rosses, looming over the ski resort of Verbier, Switzerland at 3223m. The season of the 2016 Swatch Freeride World Tour will come to a momentous finale on the 2nd of April when the 28 remaining riders on the FWT drop into the face for one final chance to earn the title of World Champion in each of the four disciplines.

After the last qualifying cut in Haines, Alaska, the original 63 riders have been reduced to a field of just 12 ski men, 6 snowboard men, 6 ski women, and 4 snowboard women. The victor of each category of the Xtreme will be crowned after event and the riders’ top four results of the season will be counted to determine which riders will be crowned the World Champions.

Two starting gates will mark the entrance to the legendary face: one for men and one for women. The riders will descend over 600 meters to the finish line at 2700m while spectators can look comfortably on from the Col des Gentianes, situated directly in front of the face at 3000m or with an accessible spectator area on-mountain next to the finish line. In addition to the FWT, the Freeride Junior Tour by Dakine competition is taking place concurrently on the nearby Mont Gelé on April 3rd.

The exciting conclusion to the 2016 Swatch Freeride World Tour is the most important event in freeride and is a showcase of the progression of the finest freeride athletes in the world.
