The LAAX OPEN, Europe's most prestigious freestyle event, invites you to the final weekend on January 20-21, 2024. It promises freestyle sports, excitement, and spectacle at its finest. Three FIS World Cup decisions will be made, with CHF 180,000 in prize money to be earned in equal parts by women and men. The biggest prize for freestyle pros is and remains winning the LAAX OPEN trophy.
To make this dream come true, snowboarders and freeskiers pull out all the stops. Incredible rotations over kickers, skyscraper-high jumps into the night sky, safe landings in the pipe. The audience cheers enthusiastically as international superstars show why they are the best: Olympic champions Anna Gasser, Chloe Kim (both snowboard), Eileen Gu and Mathilde Gremaud (both ski), Olympic champions Birk Ruud, Alex Hall (both skiing) and Ayumu Hirano (snowboarding), serial winner Scotty James, overall World Cup winner Valentino Guseli and world champion Mia Brookes (snowboarding), as well as defending champion and local hero Andri Ragettli (skiing).
While snowboarders will set the tone on Saturday, January 20, 2024, with the finals in slopestyle (1:15 p.m.) and halfpipe (6:15 p.m.), Sunday will be all about freeskiing with the slopestyle final (1:15 p.m.).
The LAAX OPEN is a freestyle festival for everyone. The sporting competitions at Crap Sogn Gion, as well as the activities and live concerts at the rocksresort in the valley, are free to attend.
If you are unable to travel to the award-winning winter destination of Flims-Laax-Falera and attend the LAAX OPEN in person, you can follow the FIS Snowboard & Freeski World Cups on television and livestream.
In Switzerland on SRF, RTR, RSI, and RTS channels, and worldwide on Eurosport, redbull.tv, and laax.com/open.
