DHI – XCC – XCO

For the third year running, the Mountain Bike World Cup returns to Les Gets! The world’s best DH and Cross-country riders will once again battle it out in Les Gets. Les Gets and international mountain bike competitions: a love story that lasts. The village of Les Gets has it all: – Mythical or soon-to-be mythical DH trails on the Mont Chéry side. – A demanding cross-country circuit on the Chavannes side. – An unbelievable public ready to lose all control when a tricolored jersey steps onto the podium. The 2004 and 2022 World Championships will forever be part of French and international mountain bike legend, and we’re betting on new antics for the 2024 World Cup!
