European Freeride Festival to Gather Freeride Enthusiasts
"Organizing an international event dedicated to freeride is the natural evolution of our effort in this direction," Stated Luca Moretti, President of Livigno Touristic Promotion company. "Hosting the European Freeride Festival we would like to give everyone the opportunity to approach the freeride world, spreading the culture and awareness of this practice with safety."
Livigno, a freeride paradise
The program will offer competitive moments with freeride and ski touring contests open to ski, snowboard, telemark, men and women, pro and amateur categories, as well as guided tours or Heliski. A Freeride village will host numerous workshops, test centers and more. The Freeride Film Festival will enliven the evenings and there will be parties and other social moments to meet other passionate freeriders from all over Europe as well as international guests such as the freeride World Champion Aline Bock.
The 2015 European Freeride Festival date has been strategically placed between the end of Burton European Open in Laax and the start of ISPO trade-fair in Munich (February 5-8). So save the date, the countdown has already started.
