SnowFest presents Rock A Rail 2025

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.
