Val di Fassa delivers again: after the 2024 UCI Enduro World Championships, Round 6 of the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series drops on the trails of the Val di Fassa Bike District - first Italian stop of the season
Sixteen race weekends. Fourteen stages. Nine countries. Only three full enduro rounds. Canazei is in. Round 6 of the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series - the first Italian stop on the calendar, before the series moves on to Valle d'Aosta in July.
The UCI Enduro World Cup Val di Fassa - Trentino is one of only three rounds held over two days, for both professional World Cup athletes and riders in the Shimano Enduro Open Val di Fassa - Trentino, a competition open to all. Thursday and Friday are dedicated to practice, while Saturday and Sunday bring the race action.
Organised by the UCI and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, the UCI Enduro World Cup Val di Fassa Trentino is top-level racing at its purest. And it’s no coincidence: Val di Fassa is among the Trentino destinations selected to host the 2031 UCI Super World Championships.
Enduro has evolved, but here the DNA remains the same - technical, physical, uncompromising. Every metre counts. Long descents and real elevation. Banked corners where you can push hard, compressions and relaunches, fast sections alternating with natural off-camber terrain where precision and technique make the difference. Nothing comes for free. The race playground is the Val di Fassa Bike District. Trails run through Ciampac, Belvedere and Col Rodella, with fast lift access throughout the area. The race course will be revealed on the Friday of the week preceding the event: the unknown is part of the game. One thing is certain - the best World Cup riders, men and women, alongside the many Open Racing competitors, will go head-to-head on iconic trails and new lines waiting to be discovered.
High altitude. Endless descents. Raw, natural terrain. Roots, gradients, exposure. Real enduro.
The experience is full gas for spectators too. Cable cars, gondolas and chairlifts take fans straight to the trails, with the UNESCO-listed Dolomites as the backdrop. The beating heart of the event is the Ciasates area, home to the event village, team paddocks and expo zone, just steps from the Canazei-Pecol lift.
Top teams. Split-second battles. Workshop trucks. Elite mechanics. The biggest names in the bike industry. All within an Eco Eventi Trentino PRO-certified event, with a concrete commitment to sustainability.
The countdown is on. Canazei is ready. Round 6. Full throttle.
