Ski and snowboard freestylers: Halfpipe World Cup inaugurated in the Engadine

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The 2025 World Cup halfpipe in Engadin has opened.

The first riders at the opening ceremony included freestyle greats such as Switzerland’s David Hablützel, Jonas Hasler and Berenice Wicki, as well as three-time X Games winner Alex Ferreira from the USA.

The construction costs for the pipe, which will host the World Cup halfpipe competitions in a year’s time and the World Cup finals in a month’s time, amounted to almost five million francs. Outside of competitions, the prestigious building in Engadin is open to all guests and offers local athletes good training opportunities.

A special feature of the 170 to 180 meter long and 22 meter wide pipe is that it is completely embedded in the ground and not placed on the site, making it one of the resource-saving and economical halfpipes. (SDA)
