The fourth round of the 2026 iXS European Downhill Cup heads to Les Orres, France—a spectacular venue featuring one of the toughest courses on the entire calendar. From July 10–12, riders and spectators will enjoy a highly anticipated event on French soil. Registration is now open!

Beautiful France

Nestled in the heart of the French Alps lies Les Orres—a destination best known for its spectacular mountain scenery and challenging trails. Following a successful debut last year, the resort will once again host an EDC round in 2026, promising a weekend with great potential. The high altitude, technical challenges, and alpine terrain create a setting that is perfect for thrilling, top-level downhill action.

Track with Character

The course in Les Orres is considered one of the toughest in the entire European Cup calendar. Wild stone fields, big drops and jumps, fast high-speed sections and nasty technical cruxes await over several kilometres. Massive boulders, rough ground and tight bends make the line not only a physical but also a mental challenge - exactly what real racers love. Even former EDC winner Mike Wutzler says that it is one of the toughest lines he has ever ridden. If you want to perform here, you need courage, technique and perfect bike control.
