WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series
When the world's best Downhill and Enduro athletes come to Leogang and the enthusiastic fans create a great atmosphere, it's time for the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Cup again! From June 7th - 9th, 2024 the Mountainbike World Cup stops in Leogang. In the disciplines Downhill and Enduro, important points in the World Cup are then at stake.
The Bike World Cup takes place once again in the downhill in Leogang. The ride will be on the 2020 World Championships track: 'Speedster'.
The track is spectacular, demanding, fast and not for the faint of heart. At 2.3 km they will pass through roots, stones, switchbacks and spectacular jumps down into the valley. The highlight of the track is 'Vali's Hölle'. This section was first ridden at the 2020 World Championship. The crowning feature of this section is the gap jump, which can only be skipped with sufficient speed and courage and thus once again provides excitement. But why Vali's hell? Vali Höll, the local hero and great medal hope at the 2020 World Championship, missed her chances for the gold medal in this section.
The Endurpo competition is similar to a car rally: the riders have to complete individual stages, after their start in the EPIC Bikepark Leogang, it takes the athletes to Saalbach Hinterglemm and back again. Whoever has the fastest overall time wins!
In addition to the spectacular races, there will also be exciting things for fans to discover in the Expo area at the finish line: looking over the shoulders of the pros, getting tips or examining the latest products.
Our tip: Take your chance and see the best in the world from start to finish. The Asitzbahn mountain lift takes you up to the start (at the middle station) and you can then hike along the World Cup route down to your destination (directly at our front door).
After a day of action, our large wellness area, including pool and saunas, is the perfect place to relax.
