Downhill European Championships

Champéry

In the heart of the Franco-Swiss Portes du Soleil area, the UEC Mountain Bike Downhill European Championships will be held on the legendary black 'World Cup' piste at Champéry (Région Dents du Midi).

09–11.08.2024

Overview

The Portes du Soleil region has been renowned for its high-quality bike parks and its many black tracks. The Champéry "World Cup" track is undoubtedly the most renowned for its demanding technical nature. Its route, dotted with natural obstacles, is a real challenge: steep sections, roots, jumps and tight bends. As long as it is dizzying, this track puts riders' technical and physical skills to the ultimate test! It has already welcomed the best international riders at international competitions and promises to put on another great show in August 2024.

I'm really looking forward to these international events on the magnificent and legendary Champéry track. This will be my first race here, and it already promises to be magical for the European Championships and then the 2025 World Championships!

Camille Balanche, swiss athlete & event ambassador

What a privilege it is for the beautiful Dents du Midi region, and the host resort of Champéry in particular, to host the top names in downhill mountain biking for the European Championships in 2024 and the UCI World Championships in 2025.

Patrice Michellod, President of the Local Organising Committee

It's a real pleasure to see the elite of downhill mountain biking make their return to Champéry on the legendary World Cup track. While the return of these events brings back many memories, the whole region is already looking forward to creating new ones!
