After its incredible debut in 2025, La Thuile returns to the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series with an even bigger challenge — four disciplines in one mountain destination: Downhill, Enduro, Cross-country Olympic and Short Track. La Thuile is one of the few venues in the entire calendar to host all four formats — and the only one where every race, paddock, lift, and fan zone are gathered in a single, walkable event hub.

Set in the heart of the Italian Alps, surrounded by giants like Mont Blanc and the Rutor Glacier, La Thuile offers a breathtaking natural stage where racing meets pure alpine energy. The village lies at the meeting point of two mountain streams — a place where you can feel nature’s power all around you.

Spectators will find everything within walking distance: race paddocks, fan zones, lifts, food court, beer garden, and the start and finish areas of every race. Just park your car once — and enjoy the show all day long — and well into the night. Two fast lifts, Bosco Express and Chalet Express, are open to the public, connecting directly to the race courses and to two high-altitude chalets where you can lunch with an unbeatable view of the tracks.

Expect a weekend of non-stop racing and alpine atmosphere. The Downhill course — steep, raw, and spectacular — runs alongside a pedestrian trail, allowing fans to follow the action up close from the iconic “Shanghai” berms to the massive road gap. The Enduro returns with a series of monster alpine stages starting above 2,500 metres, offering endless descents through wild, natural terrain and breathtaking views of the high mountains — all leading up to the legendary Nightfall stage, an illuminated, crowd-filled special under the stars. A true show within the show.

New for 2026, Cross-country Olympic (XCO) and Short Track (XCC) racing will bring high-intensity action to the heart of the event area, with start, feed zone, and finish lines right in front of the grandstands. The natural XC course, already tested at top-level races, includes stunning alpine sections, a rock garden, and iconic features like “The Meteorite” and “La Centrifuga.”

Off the race course, La Thuile invites visitors to explore: from the majestic Rutor waterfalls and the turquoise Arpy Lake, to the old mines, 19th-century forts, and the Little St Bernard Pass with its alpine botanical garden and prehistoric stone circle. Add cozy mountain restaurants, trails for every level, and pure fresh-air relaxation — the full alpine experience awaits.

If you missed La Thuile in 2025, don’t make the same mistake twice.

Save the date. This is the event to be at.
