FWT 2021 | Kick-Off in Ordino Arcalís

The Freeride World Tour 2021 is scheduled to kick-off in Andorra this Friday

After the Freeride World Tour being cut short last year due to Covid-19, we’re stoked that this year’s tour is going ahead despite the current restrictions. With the FWT 2021 season opener just one day away, we’re excited to see what some of the world’s best freeriders, including last year’s champions Nils Mindnich and Marion Haerty, will bring to the table.
