2027 X Over Ride Kitzsteinhorn Challenger

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.

As a host venue, Kitzsteinhorn offers everything freeride hearts desire: challenging terrain with countless opportunities for creative, individual lines. Set within the impressive mountain scenery of the Zell am See-Kaprun region, Kitzsteinhorn has established itself as one of the leading freeride destinations in the Alps. Wide-open powder fields, impressive cliff drops, technical steep terrain, and high snow reliability make the area the perfect stage for top-level freeride competitions.

For everybody who is not arriving by car, we provide a free shuttle to get to the bottom station of the Gletscher Jet 1 gondola in the morning of the event day. If you would like to do a face check the day before the event, let us know and we provide you with a lift ticket as well for that day.

Due to its snow reliability and the varied off-piste terrain close to the lifts, the Kitzsteinhorn has been praised as one of the Alps' best freeriding areas for a long time.
