Freeride skiing and snowboarding’s pinnacle event, the YETI Xtreme Verbier, is taking on a fresh look as Honda Switzerland steps up as the Presenting Partner for the 2025 edition. Scheduled from March 22-30, 2025, the event will showcase not only world-class athletes but also Honda’s latest innovations in mobility. This includes the new lineup of electrified vehicles, highlighted by the cutting-edge Honda CR-V, available in full hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.

We see ourselves reflected in the freeride scene. Athletes carve their own path, combining performance and precision with a sense of freedom and joy, always in harmony with nature. These are exactly the values that Honda upholds in mobility and that our brand is committed to. Achieving this requires innovation and boldness. These are the reasons why we are very excited to participate in the Xtreme Verbier as Presenting Partner.

This collaboration aligns perfectly with both the spirit of freeriding and Honda’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. As riders push the boundaries of performance in Verbier, Honda will be displaying its top-of-the-line electric and hybrid SUVs, emphasizing versatility and efficiency – traits essential in mountain environments.

As the organizer of the Freeride World Tour and Xtreme Verbier, we are proud of this new partnership with Honda. 'The Power of Dreams' perfectly symbolizes the energy with which the company combines technology and emotion. This combination is quite unique, just like the freeride scene. Our freeriders also live their dreams with the strength and drive needed to conquer challenges. I see many parallels with our new Presenting Partner in Verbier.
