With valuable points left unclaimed earlier in the season, the pressure is on as riders battle for qualification to the two FWT Finals.
As the last event before the Cut, the Fieberbrunn Pro represents a defining moment in the season. Only the top-ranked athletes in each category will advance to the FWT Finals, making this competition a decisive showdown. Every turn, drop, and landing will count as competitors aim to secure their place among the world’s elite.
The competition weather window runs from March 5 to 10, allowing organizers to select the optimal day to ensure the best possible freeride conditions on the Wildseeloder.
Fieberbrunn: Where the Cut is decided
Nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, Fieberbrunn has been a cornerstone of the Freeride World Tour calendar since 2011. Known for its electric atmosphere and passionate fans, the destination blends world-class freeriding with a dynamic event experience.
At the heart of the action is the iconic Wildseeloder. Since debuting on the Tour in 2011, the 2,119-meter peak has become synonymous with high-stakes performances. Featuring a 583-meter vertical drop and an average gradient of 48 degrees, the face challenges riders with steep chutes, exposed cliffs, and complex technical features. Precision, control, and creativity are essential on terrain that leaves no room for error.
Fans can experience the excitement firsthand at the event village in Fieberbrunn from March 6-8, which will host live broadcasts, athlete meet-and-greets, partner activations, and interactive activities throughout the competition window.
