After the 1st stage of Andorra, here is the 2nd stage in Auron, France. Unlike the 2022 edition, the Station d'Auron will be the heart of the event, and the adult competitors will start at the top of the Dôme (2446m) for almost half an hour of running before crossing the finish line!
An ideal course for a Downhill Marathon with a first part wide enough to stretch the peloton, and a rocky high mountain section to the Las Donnas cable car station, before a series of natural curves at the Col du Blainon, a small Bike- Park then new widening in the Meadows, a very playful sector in a valley to the snow front, the crossing of the wood and the ever famous descent of the river bed, and the end on the Riou plateau, which has all the advantages for the installation of assistance vehicles and offering a parking guarantee to all competitors.
MEGAKIDS 7-14 YEARS
The adult race is twinned with the Mega Kid (3rd round of the Provence Enduro Kids Trophy) whose U15 and U13 categories (Minimes and Benjamins) will have the privilege of starting almost at the same level as their older brothers and sisters. MORE INFORMATION.
e-Maxi by Loisibike
eMTB enthusiasts will not be left out as a dedicated race is also scheduled! A weekend for everyone. The Maxiavalanche d'Auron promises first-rate alpine mountain biking, especially as the Domain has an extraordinary choice of routes in its Bike Park, for enthusiasts of downhill, or on the green paths for family outings.
The Resort will always be welcoming with its first class shops and services, especially the swimming pool and all the peripheral activities.
Rides offered to all license plate bearers from Friday.
