Snowfest The Hague

Rock a Rail 

Highlights include the 10th anniversary edition of the Rock A Rail snowboard competition on Saturday, which finally returns to the place where it all began, now as part of SnowFest. This unique snowboard event, can rightly be called special because of its location and the high level of national and international riders.

Urban- or street snowboarding is a form of snowboarding in which snowboarders (riders) use elements from the city to snowboard. Think stairs, railings, walls, fences and pavements. Street snowboarding is a discipline underlying Olympic slopestyle snowboarding, which combines rails and ramps.

After Thun (Swisterland) and Innsbruck (Austria), The Hague is the third and final stop of the Rock a Rail ski & snowboard tour where the best snowboarders and freeskiers compete. The preliminary rounds start on Wednesday 4 December and the spectacular finals take place from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 December. A true spectacle is therefore guaranteed!

Watch the world's top freeskiers and snowboarders, immerse yourself in the wonderful winter sports feeling in Snowfest Village or take part in one of the many sporting side events.

DownTown StreetSki Session

A day ahead of the snowboarders, their friends on two boards will be in the spotlight for the DownTown StreetSki session. A first for The Hague, but certainly a spectacular one, as the freeskiers will perform their craziest tricks on the creative playground offered to them in the middle of the city.

Wintersports Village 

As part of SnowFest, there will be a Winter Sports Village in The Hague for the first time. Local clubs and associations will also be there, including the Eischnelllaufers. Also, De Uithof profiles itself, the first point of contact for winter sports enthusiasts in the country. Come along, discover, get to know and try it out!
