History : The Nendaz Freeride is a ski and snowboard competition which occurs off-piste. After three successful editions, it is once again part of the Freeride World Qualifier Event, a worldwide qualification opportunity for the Freeride World Tour.

Nendaz Freeride is also, for the second year the "sister event" of the Verbier Xtreme. This means that the winner of each category is automatically qualified to participate in the big FWT final which takes place in Verbier.

Have a look at our different videos here.

Communication: In addition to several partnerships with the press and TV, Nendaz Freeride also communicates through a network of distribution of posters and flyers in the french speaking part of Switzerland & Bern.

The winning poster will therefore be on over 20'000 flyers, 2'500 banners and 2'000 official programs. It will also be displayed on an 8m x 4m giant poster on top of the Plan-du-Fou and on pylons of the Nendaz slopes. Posters and flyers of previous editions can be seen here.
