Three days (from August 2nd to the 4th) – of performances, adrenaline, and feats that will go down in history, performed by the crème de la crème of this generation of bikers. A long weekend of competitions between Downhill, Cross Country, and Four Cross, with the best specialists that will face off on trails outfitted ad hoc.

Thrills to be discovered in the enchanting Val di Sole, on a natural stage surrounded by mountains, fields, woods, and summer pastures.

XCC RACE – UCI MTB WORLD CUP 2019

The Short Track circuit includes some spectacular sections that are technical in nature. One such example is the short but tough ascent of the rock garden located in the Four-Cross area. The course is comprised of a circuit 1 Km in length with 15 meters of climbing that’s comprised of cross country, four-cross and downhill sections.

DOWNHILL DHI

The Blake Snake traverses that thin line between love and hate for many. It’s a fight against gravity and the laws of physics around a monster track, where any mistake is costly.

Insanely difficult, the track is 2,4km long with 540 meters of elevation loss at an average of 22%, but peaking to 40%. In addition to tough sections such as Hell-Nomen Omen, the Red Bull Section and the Val di Sole jump, a new section was debuted in the 2018 season. With some new big jumps, most notable among them is the Trentino Jump at 15 meters. The final section of the track is aptly named “hell”, and has not been changed at all. A wall of rock and roots lie right before the Pippo jump where only the fearless take on that 20m dive through the air.

XCO RACE

The contenders will battle it out for victory on a 4 km circuit with 190 meters of elevation gain that undulates around the Daolasa di Commezzadura bike park. From the stones and roots to the adrenaline-inducing sections that never fail to delight fans, an exciting race is assured. The addition of the “Bear Forest” in 2018, and the inclusion of technically challenging sections mean the riders will be tested in every possible way
