The World Cup is back on track for a hopeful 2021 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les Gets, in cooperation with the French Cycling Federation (FFC), has been selected to organise once again a UCI World Cup round in Olympic Cross-Country (XCO\/XCC) and Downhill (DHI), on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th of 2021. The best XCO and DHI bikers will once again be on the slopes of Les Gets to compete in front of an enthusiastic and keen public !<\/p>\n

The XCO riders will have one last opportunity to measure themselves on our slopes before taking off for the Tokyo Olympic Games! On the DHI side, the riders will still race facing the Mont-Blanc, but on a redesigned track which will offer some new developments on the top of the track in particular, for even more technical and spectacular passages…<\/p>\n

See you at the beginning of July for a World Cup 2021 full of emotions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The famous mountain bike ride between France and Switzerland returns to Les Gets in 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 7,500 participants and 9 departure villages, including Les Gets, the Pass’Portes will certainly be a much-anticipated mountain bike event next summer. Everyone can choose their own route beyond the classic route (80km \u2013 6000m descent 1000m ascent): the e-Pass’Portes and its variations with recharging points available at high altitude that allow you to enjoy yourself on an electric mountain bike, the Pass’Portes Kids an itinerary designed for 9 to 14 year olds, the Pass’Portes for women and the “Night Ride” for night-time rides.<\/p>\n

If the health situation permits, this year\u2019s venue will be held in Les Gets and will offer a 6,000 m2 exhibitor village, entertainment, pumptrack challenges, live music…<\/p>\n\n
