2025 European MTB Track

The course is entirely natural, technical, and diverse, challenging athletes with demanding climbs, rock gardens, jumping areas, and technical descents. This layout creates an excellent competitive environment, promising exciting moments for both participants and spectators.

The race begins on the stadium’s athletics track, leading up a small cement ramp toward the first bridge. After crossing, athletes face an initial climb, where it is crucial to be well positioned to attack the first technical downhill section, which ends with a jump. Next, another aggressive climb, with a steep incline, precedes a left turn that leads to one of the oldest rock gardens on the course. This segment, divided into three parts, is marked by highly technical rock areas.

This is followed by a medium-intensity climb, with a demanding finale composed of roots and rocks, leading to another natural rock garden. This is followed by two fast jumps, with roots and rocks remaining the predominant elements.

After passing the refreshment area, the athletes embark on a fun single track that culminates in the “carousel,” a dynamic and technical loop. Soon after, they face a root-filled climb, ending with a rocky section where handling matters.

The most demanding part of the course comes with the race’s largest rock garden: multi-line, aggressive, and highly technical. Next, a zigzag climb through narrow trails demands maximum coordination between strength and technique. The final descent leads to an area with jumps and high “S” curves, preceding the final rock garden of the route.

The last 800 meters are full throttle, with a special emphasis on the last 100 meters—a decisive climb before returning to the stadium, where time can still be gained.

This is a technical, raw, and authentic circuit, truly worthy of a European Championship.
