Click on the Mountain is an international media event that takes place in the beautiful Courmayeur, home of the majestic Mont Blanc. Divided in teams, riders, filmers and photographers battle each other by shooting all around the freeride area of Courmayeur and Mont Blanc, surrounded by a faboulous, unique background.
