About MTB World Cup La Thuile

La Thuile becomes the world capital of mountain biking: the only stage in the world to host four UCI World Cup disciplines simultaneously — Enduro, Downhill, Olympic Cross Country, and Short Track. Three days of high-level racing, with the evocative NightFall, the nocturnal Enduro special stage illuminated amidst lights, tension, and speed. A spectacular event at the foot of Mont Blanc, across over 170 km of trails.

World Mountain Biking in La Thuile

The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series transforms La Thuile, in the province of Aosta, into one of the most anticipated events on the global mountain biking calendar. The Aosta Valley location is the only stage in the world to host four World Cup disciplines simultaneously: Enduro, Downhill, Olympic Cross Country (XCO), and Short Track (XCC).

NightFall, the magic of nocturnal Enduro

Among the most spectacular moments is NightFall, the nocturnal Enduro special stage that illuminates the mountainside with lights, tension, and speed, creating a visually impactful atmosphere. A unique format that attracts enthusiasts and spectators from all over the world.

A unique hub between trails and Mont Blanc

The event is designed as a large, compact hub: paddock, race area, village, and trails are concentrated within a short distance, accessible on foot and via ski lifts. La Thuile boasts over 170 km of mapped trails, from the 2,600 meters of Belvedere down to the town center, featuring an international-level downhill course, technical sections through larch forests, and panoramic views of Mont Blanc and the Rutor glacier. An international showcase for outdoor tourism in the Aosta Valley.
