The high-end holiday rental specialist will support the series during the two Haute-Savoie (France) rounds – Morillon and Les Gets.
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports and Emerald Stay are proud to confirm a three-year agreement for the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.
The high-end holiday rental specialist will support the Haute-Savoie rounds of the next three series, starting with the back-to-back weekends (August 22-24 and 28-31) of racing in Morillon (UCI Enduro World Cup) and Les Gets (UCI Cross-country and Downhill World Cups).
Emerald Stay, which is part of the Eterniti Group, is a hospitality company specialising in the management of high-end holiday rentals in top lifestyle destinations, both in the mountains and by the sea. It has developed a unique hybrid model that combines a proprietary digital infrastructure with an on-the-ground presence in all locations – and has had strong roots in the Haute-Savoie’s Portes du Soleil resorts since its inception in 2018.
As part of this three-year partnership, Emerald Stay is providing exclusive properties in Les Gets to host key stakeholders, including organisers, professional teams, and sponsors. Just like any Emerald Stay guest, they’ll enjoy the privacy and comfort of a premium home elevated by hotel-level services, including exceptional bedding and amenities, personalised attention, a dedicated concierge team, and à la carte extra experiences such as private transfers, breakfast delivery, in-house massages, and more.
Chris Ball, Vice President of Cycling Events at WBD Sports, said: “The Haute-Savoie region is a part of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series’ heritage and will continue to deliver on the international stage as it builds towards its hosting of the 2027 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. Emerald Stay is an integral part of the Portes du Soleil’s hospitality offering and will be a valued official supplier over the next three years.”
Laurent Lacourt, CEO of Emerald Stay, said: “Partnering with the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Les Gets is deeply meaningful for us. The Portes du Soleil resorts were the very first destinations where Emerald Stay began managing properties in 2018, and Les Gets stands as a global icon for mountain biking. Like the athletes who redefine limits on these trails, we aim to redefine how people experience the mountains, with innovation, excellence, and deep respect for the places that inspire us.”
After a six-week break, the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series will return in Haute-Savoie (France) with Enduro racing in Morillon (22-24 August) and Cross-country and Downhill action in Les Gets (28-31 August).
Live and on-demand coverage of every race is available through WBD’s channels and platforms including Eurosport (Europe) and TNT Sports (UK & Ireland) with streaming on HBO Max and discovery+, as well as around the world through WBD’s broadcast partners.
