Five stops. Four countries. Two sports. One setup. Endless possibilities. Rock A Rail stands like no other event for urban street style at a world-class level – with creative, challenging setups that push riders toward technical finesse and innovative riding. Since its debut in 2011, Rock A Rail has grown from a local rail jam in the Netherlands into one of Europe’s most prestigious in-city events. Since 2022, Rock A Rail has been part of Snowfest, and since 2024, freeskiers have also been a full part of the tour. Today, Rock A Rail is the leading international format for in-city rail contests, equally for snowboarders and freeskiers.
ROCK A RAIL TOUR 2025 – THE STOPS AT A GLANCE
Hintertux, AUT (October 3–5, 2025)
Rock A Rail x Hintertux Park Opening — Season Kick-Off
Winter kicked off in style as the Rock A Rail crew joined forces with the Hintertux Park Opening for the first time. The glacier delivered perfect conditions, a creative new setup, and an incredible mix of street and park energy that set the tone for the season.
Riders and fans turned out in force for a weekend packed with style, progression, and good vibes. The new setup at the valley station lit up under the night sky, and the crowd brought the energy from start to finish. Fourteen-year-old Marie Kuhlmann (GER) stole the show with her first Rock A Rail win, while Niek Van Der Velden (NED) impressed with his smooth and powerful riding to take the men’s title. The freeskiers made a strong debut at Hintertux, with Alais Develay (FRA) and Stefano Gallina (ITA) topping their fields.
The Snowfest Village rounded out the weekend with art, workshops, and a welcoming community vibe — the perfect way to launch into winter together.
