2026 X Over Ride Kitzsteinhorn Challenger
Following 11 successful years of 3* and 4* FWT Qualifier events, the X OVER RIDE Kitzsteinhorn will host its third FWT Challenger event in 2026. Nestled in the Zell am See-Kaprun region, Kitzsteinhorn has firmly established itself as a premier freeride destination, owing to its extensive off-piste options that include expansive powder fields, breathtaking cliff drops and reliable snowfall.


Langwied (2,260 m), located on the glacier slopes of Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun, serves as the competition venue. The terrain offers a vertical drop of approximately 310 m, with sections reaching up to 40° in steepness. Its open alpine layout offers several line choices, giving riders room to choose their approach as they navigate the slope's natural features. This season marks the first time a Challenger competition is held on the Langwied face.
