Course Unveiled for Round 5 of the 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup in Aletsch Arena – Bellwald

The host of the 2025 UCI Enduro World Championship returns to the UCI Enduro World Cup calendar, before the five-week summer break.

After two thrilling rounds in Italy, including an unforgettable night-stage race, the UCI Enduro World Cup heads to the Valais region of the Swiss Alps for another two-day showdown across Aletsch Arena and Bellwald.

Aletsch Arena combines demanding natural trails, steep vertical drops and spectacular views of the Great Aletsch Glacier, while the renowned Bike Park Bellwald brings creative trail design, flowy lines and unmistakable alpine character. Together, they offer a standout challenge for riders from around the world, with routes set within the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch.

In 2025, Aletsch hosted the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships which saw Richie Rude return to Enduro briefly to win his second Men’s Elite World Championship title, while Elly Hoskin claimed her first in the Women’s Elite category. Now, attention turns to who can master the UCI World Cup course.

This year, riders will cover a total of 80.3km featuring 5974m of descending across eight stages. Following training on Thursday and Friday, Elite and Enduro Open riders will tackle the opening four stages on Saturday, before completing the final four stages on Sunday.
