The UCI Enduro World Cup will stay in Italy after its two-days in the heart of the Dolomites, but heads west to the Alps and the Valle d’Aosta resort of La Thuile.
La Thuile’s Bike World is well-traversed in the world of Enduro, having hosted five rounds of the Enduro World Series between 2014 and 2021. Its 170km of high-alpine trails provide a smorgasbord of riding options.
The venue made its WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series debut in 2025 and produced a UCI Enduro World Cup to remember with it featuring the first-ever night-time stage in the format’s history.
A stage completely lit by 23 floodlights and utilising the same technology as those used in Formula 1’s night races to ensure there are no shadows on course, it produced a spectacle unlike anything seen in Enduro before, as riders navigated the specially designed trail as the sun set on the idyllic surroundings.
Last season, Elite Men’s UCI Enduro World Cup overall winner Sławomir Łukasik (Yeti/Fox Factory Race Team) and Elite Women’s runner-up Simona Kuchynkova edged incredibly close races – Kuchynkova beating Ella Conolly by a little over two seconds, while it was even closer in the men’s race with just five-hundredths of a second separating Lukasik and Charlie Murray.
This year, riders will cover a total of 28.4km featuring 2969m of descending across four stages – three of which are new to the UCI Enduro World Cup. Following training on Friday, Elite and Enduro Open riders will tackle the four stages on Saturday, with the fourth and final night-time stage starting at 20:30 (CEST).
