About UCI Enduro World Cup Val di Fassa
The Enduro World Cup in the heart of the Dolomites
The UCI Enduro World Cup Val di Fassa – Trentino is one of the most anticipated stages of the UCI MTB World Series circuit dedicated to enduro mountain biking. Every summer, it brings the best of the discipline to Canazei, in the province of Trento: over 500 athletes from approximately 30 nations compete on the technical trails of the Val di Fassa Bike District, in the heart of the Trentino Dolomites, at the foot of the Marmolada.
A two-day race format
The Val di Fassa stage is one of the few in the circuit to span two days of racing, Saturday and Sunday, preceded by Thursday and Friday practice sessions. The course winds through some of the valley's most spectacular areas: Ciampac, Belvedere, and Col Rodella, supported by the lift systems connecting Alba-Ciampac, Canazei-Pecol, and the Fodom cable car on the Arabba side.
Legendary special stages
The course alternates between special stages that have become iconic in the international enduro scene, including 9.90, Titans, Infinity, Lezuo, Tutti Frutti, and the Ciasates. These are demanding special stages, rich in vertical drop, which test the riders' technique and endurance on alpine terrain, amidst forests, rock, and high-altitude meadows.
More than just a race: the Event Village in Canazei
The heart of the event is the Event Village set up in Canazei, featuring a single large paddock shared by professionals and amateurs, an expo area for brands, food & beverage, the Forst Beer Garden, and public spaces. Alongside the professionals of the UCI Enduro World Cup, the Shimano Enduro Open also takes place, open to amateurs, doubling the number of participants and turning the stage into a true mountain bike festival.
The region and Val di Fassa
The event is organized by the Val di Fassa Bike District and represents an internationally renowned appointment for the Municipality of Canazei and the entire Val di Fassa, in Trentino-Alto Adige. The event showcases the valley's wealth of trails and bike parks, confirming the Dolomites as one of the European capitals of enduro mountain biking.
