Next May, mountain biking returns to the Louron Valley for its festival!

The famous Pyrénées Bike Festival will take place at the renowned Peyragudes spot.

Numerous exhibitors and activities around mountain biking, races for young and old, amateurs and pros, including a stage of the UCI MTB World Series.

A spectacular show is in store!

The Village and the Festival

"bike village" will be set up for four days in a magnificent location near the village of Loudenvielle, on the riverbank and close to the pumptrack circuit.

Many professionals will be present - bikes, accessories, equipment, services - and a whole range of activities around mountain biking - films, demonstrations, hikes... in the joyful atmosphere of the bandas!

The festival's biggest advantage: the opportunity to test the display bikes for free, either on a specially designed circuit or during one of the scheduled rides. A chance to experience the latest innovations in real-world conditions!

And of course, all this without missing anything from the competition, thanks to a screen that will broadcast live the races in progress, and also in the evening, new films.

Kids' races

On site, visitors will be able to register their budding champions for several types of races, depending on age and skill level, where everyone can push their limits while having fun:

The Enduro Kids event features 4 special stages for U11/U13/U15 and 5 special stages for U17. Young riders will have the opportunity to ride the Louron Bike & Trail, some of which are used by professionals. There's 250m of elevation gain for the younger riders and 550m for the older ones.

The XC Kids, for children aged 7 to 9, is a loop starting from the Enduro paddock, and a circuit around Lake Génos, then between the trees of the park, and finally on the bumps of the pumptrack for an arrival at the paddock.

The Mini XC Challenge, for children aged 5 to 7 who are already comfortable on a bike; a fun and dynamic event, with obstacles and challenges to overcome, to discover the first sensations of competition in complete safety.

The Balance Bike Challenge, for children aged 3 to 5, is a balance bike ride through the heart of the festival village, cheered on by everyone! A balance bike will be available for children who don't have one, so don't hesitate!

Pro races

The UCI Downhill Pro, Pro World Cup event – ​​More than 200 elite professional riders will challenge the clock in a spectacular race, combining speed and impressive jumps, on a specially created, ultra-technical track winding through the forests of Loudenvielle.

Over the four days of the festival, the event will begin with course inspections and practice runs, followed by qualifying rounds and finally the finals.
An exceptional spectacle is in store!

The UCI Enduro Pro - Combining physical effort and technical descents, this other Pro event is the flagship and historic discipline of the Louron Valley.

After a day of reconnaissance, the race takes place over a day during which the drivers alternate between timed Special stages and untimed liaison stages.

The special stages, mostly downhill, are laid out on narrow natural trails, where the concept of driving takes on its full meaning!

The Loudenvielle Enduro Open - Alongside the Pro race, this race – which includes an E-MTB category – is intended for amateurs with an almost identical program but a wider time limit.
