June 13 and 14, 2026, La Clusaz will host a new edition of the Bélier VTT, an unmissable event for mountain MTB enthusiasts. For two days, the trails of the Aravis will resonate with the rhythm of wheels, between sporting challenges, accessible rides, and friendly activities in the heart of the village.
Designed for all levels, the event brings together both competitors and enthusiasts who simply come to enjoy the landscapes and the atmosphere. Cross-country, mountain bike rides, e-MTB routes, randuro, and even races for children: everyone can find a format suited to their desires.
Rethought routes for an even more accessible experience
For this 2026 edition, the organizers have reworked several routes to offer more progressive and accessible trails, while maintaining the sporting spirit that has made Bélier VTT famous.
The event also refocuses in the heart of the resort, around the Church Square, where the exhibitor village, animations, and finishes of the various races will be grouped. An organization designed to make the experience smoother for both participants and their companions.
A varied program between competition and the joy of riding
The weekend will start on Saturday with several timed XC formats, animations, and the first kids’ races. Enduro lovers will also be able to discover the Randuro, a non-timed format combining ski lifts and descents specially marked for the event.
Sunday will give more space to rides and discovery routes, with several distances adapted to different physical levels. E-MTB participants will also have their own formats to enjoy the Aravis panoramas without necessarily aiming for pure performance.
A festive atmosphere in the heart of the mountains
Beyond the competition, Bélier VTT mainly focuses on the overall experience. Throughout the weekend, the exhibitor village will host animations, demonstrations, equipment tests, and moments of sharing among enthusiasts.
Families are not forgotten with several events reserved for children, playful animations, and areas dedicated to the public. The famous “Montée Impossible,” with its impressive slope, also promises to attract many spectators who come to cheer on the participants in an electrifying atmosphere.
The Aravis massif as a playground
One of the great strengths of Bélier VTT is obviously its exceptional setting. Between forests, alpine pastures, and mountain panoramas, the routes cross some of the most beautiful areas of the Aravis massif.
With its many marked trails and varied terrain, La Clusaz once again confirms its status as a leading destination for mountain biking. Whether coming to perform or simply to ride in front of the peaks, the weekend promises to be spectacular for all mountain bike enthusiasts.
