The organization has chosen the canton of Valais, with its iconic alpine landscapes and legendary routes, to celebrate this mega event and highlight the diversity of MTB, from the most technical trails for Enduro to a fast track for Short Track.

The official program of the World Championship was announced a few days ago and in its final information we discovered an important change of location. The E-MTB tests, which were initially planned in Leukerbad, will finally be held in Aletsch Arena/Bellwald. A very popular destination for its impressive alpine landscape and where the Enduro and E-Enduro tests will also take place.

It is also noteworthy that the Short Track World Championship and the XCO World Championship have been separated by location. The XCC will be held in Zermatt, a town under the mythical peak of the Matterhorn, while the XCO race will take place 3 days later in Crans Montana, about 70 km away.
