Corvatsch Park & Pipe Finals 2026: A World Cup finale with a new dimension
At the end of March 2026, Corvatsch will once again become the beating heart of international freestyle sport. The Corvatsch Park & Pipe Finals 2026 will host the grand finale of the FIS Freeski & Snowboard World Cup season — for the first time as a fully fledged park-and-pipe event. Alongside the traditional slopestyle competitions, a newly built halfpipe takes centre stage, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of this long-established World Cup venue in the Engadin.

From 25 to 29 March 2026, the world’s best freeski and snowboard athletes will compete in Silvaplana. Qualifications will take place during the week, with the finals scheduled for the weekend. Season-deciding results will be determined across four disciplines — slopestyle and halfpipe, in both freeski and snowboard, for women and men. At Corvatsch, both the overall and discipline FIS Crystal Globes will be awarded.
The addition of the halfpipe gives the event its most comprehensive format to date.
“With our 12th edition, we are opening a new chapter,” says Dani Schaltegger, Event Director of the Corvatsch Park & Pipe Finals. “Integrating the halfpipe into the newly built facility at Corvatsch is a logical step in the continued development of the event. Our ambition is clear: to establish the Engadin as a permanent home of the Park & Pipe World Cup Finals and to grow the event year by year.”
High-stakes sport after the Olympic Games
The timing of the season finale adds an extra layer of sporting intensity. Just weeks after the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Corvatsch becomes the stage for final titles, overall standings and coveted Crystal Globes. A total prize purse of €280,000 is at stake — €70,000 per discipline and sport, distributed equally between women and men.
The sporting line-up promises star power and strong Swiss representation. Mathilde Gremaud, reigning world champion and Olympic gold medallist in slopestyle, returns to a venue closely linked to her greatest achievements.
“Corvatsch is a very special place for me,” says Gremaud. “I’ve celebrated some of my biggest successes here — from world titles to multiple Crystal Globes. Competing in a World Cup final here always feels exceptional.”

New halfpipe strengthens Switzerland’s position
The new halfpipe also brings Switzerland’s elite riders further into the spotlight. Jan Scherrer, one of the defining figures in international halfpipe snowboarding, sees the development as a powerful statement:
“A World Cup halfpipe in Switzerland — and as the season finale — sends a strong signal for us athletes. The new pipe at Corvatsch offers a major stage for international halfpipe sport.”
For more than a decade, Corvatsch has been a fixture on the World Cup calendar. With its expansion into a week-long Park & Pipe finale, the organisers are underlining their ambition to position Silvaplana as a long-term hub for the freestyle World Cup season finals.
