Loudenvielle

Where is it?
Loudenvielle is a commune in the Louron Valley situated in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in southwestern France. It is practically on the border of Spain and a short journey from another enduro hub, Andorra. 

What’s the course like?
For the Enduro riders, the stages are tight and treelined, and race organisers are sure to throw some wild cards into the mix to create the same level of drama as last year. 

The downhill track was made by a local team and course designer Romain Paulhan, and melds man-made features with the hillside’s steep contours. Riders will be praying for dry weather to save certain sections from turning into an almost impassable bog. 

There were two blasts from the past in the 2024 UCI Enduro World Cup, Martin Maes (Orbea Fox Enduro Team) and Morgane Charre (Pivot Factory Racing) rolling back the years and using their experience to win in difficult conditions. And it was another two home favourites who took the wins in the downhill – Benoît Coulanges (Dorval AM Commencal) and Myriam Nicole (Commencal/Muc-Off by Riding Addiction) sending the locals crazy at the finish.  

In addition to the elite competition, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series at Loudenvielle – Peyragudes, presented by FACOM, will also offer amateurs the chance to go between the race tape in Open Racing. Participants can test their skills in the Enduro and E-enduro categories and experience the full UCI Enduro World Cup course!
