Snowparks & freestyle: where to go

Snowparks and freestyle skiing and snowboarding encompass designated mountain zones equipped with specialized terrain features including kickers, jumps, boxes, rails, and halfpipes. These parks provide dedicated spaces for freeskiers and snowboarders seeking to develop aerial maneuvers and technical sliding skills across varied progression lines.

While freestyle skiing is predominantly pursued during the winter season across most alpine locations, select resorts provide extended access during spring, summer, or autumn. For instance, Les Deux Alpes in France maintains the Freestyle Land Snowpark on its glacier at 2,600 meters in both winter and summer. In Switzerland, Laax facilitates year-round freestyle progression via the indoor Freestyle Academy Laax and hosts the international LAAX Open slopestyle and halfpipe event in mid-January. In Italy, Madonna di Campiglio features the Ursus Snowpark Grosté at 2,500 meters altitude with over 40 obstacles, while Obertauern in Austria houses 'The Spot' snowpark adjacent to the Kehrkopfbahn. Additionally, Sierra Nevada in Spain provides the Sulayr Snowpark in the Loma de Dílar sector, complete with jumps, rails, and boxes.
