Dutch Freeride Championships Kappl

A week of powder, sporting challenges and a genuine community spirit: at the Dutch Freeride Championships, part of the Poederbaas Freeride Festival, Kappl will become the meeting place for all freeride enthusiasts in March 2026. During the day, participants will head out into the open terrain to explore new lines and push their personal limits. Whether in the freeride competition, the Vertical Skimo or joint sessions with like-minded people, the focus will be on technique, creativity and the mountain experience.

But the event week offers more than just sporting competition: clinics and snow safety workshops impart valuable know-how, the latest equipment can be tried out in the test centre, and everyone can celebrate together at the waterslide contest and evening events.
