What is Snow Bike?
Adrenaline, speed and cycling on snow
Snow Bike, or mountain biking on snow, is a discipline that combines the thrills of mountain biking with the technical demands of skiing. Competitors battle it out on snow-covered, groomed slopes in a variety of formats ranging from timed descents to slalom duels.
A unique event combining cycling and winter sports
For the third consecutive year, the resort of Châtel is hosting the UCI Snow Bike World Championships! Head to the Linga slopes for two different types of snow mountain biking competition, directly inspired by alpine skiing.
- SUPER-G: a fast and technical downhill race. One by one, the riders will set off on a track between L'Aity and the Stade du Linga. The winner will be the one with the best time on the course.
- DUAL SLALOM: a face-to-face race on parallel tracks, illuminated for the occasion. Each race is played in two rounds, with the fastest rider overall going through to the next round. Showtime guaranteed!
