The Spanish resort of Baqueira Beret in the Pyrenees kicks off the Freeride World Tour next January. Other familiar venues are there with the winners crowned in Verbier at the end of March.
Located in the Val d’Aran in the Spanish Pyrenees, Baqueira Beret has large alpine terrain and good snowfall, making it an “ideal destination” according to the Freeride World Tour.
“We are so proud to be selected as a host resort for the first event of the 2022 FWT season. We can’t wait to watch the world’s best riders perform on Baqueira Beret’s mountains, and look forward to sharing the majesty of Val d’Aran with the world,” said the resort’s marketing director, Xavi Ubeira,.
Following the inaugural event at Baqueira Beret, the FWT heads to Arcalis in Andorra, before crossing the Atlantic to Kicking Horse in British Columbia, Canada.
It is then at Fieberbrunn in the Tirol in Austria before the finale in Verbier, Switzerland.
